Ben gave me the most wonderful present for Mother’s Day this year. It’s taken me a while to remember to take a picture of it, but I finally did so thought I would blog it.
Drum roll, please….
It’s a shoe shelf for the garage! He even built it himself. Impressive, wouldn’t you say?
Sometimes I feel like it’s raining crumbs and dirt in our house. Literally, I could sweep every hour and fill my dustpan. So, I’ve been wanting to institute a ‘no shoes in the house’ policy, but I felt I needed an organized place in the garage to put all our shoes before we could start living the new rule.
Well, Ben made my dreams come true!
So, I cleaned all the tile and even scrubbed the grout by hand (it took me three days!) and we’ve been living shoeless ever since. (Note to self: I still need to get the carpets shampooed.) The floors seem to be and stay at least a little cleaner now. That makes me feel so happy!

So, there you have it. My most favorite Mother’s Day gift of all time!
Johnson Family - Way to go Ben! The shelf looks very nice and I’m sure keeps the shoes very organized. We keep our shoes in a basket in our coat closet because I like having shoes off in the house too, but it’s hard to find what you want in the basket when you’ve got a gazillion other shoes in there.
