TIPS TO MASTER THIS ALL-IMPORTANT SPACE Declutter Your Entryway
In many ways, your front entryway is your home’s command center. It’s where some of your most precious possessions reside and the first thing guests see when they visit. Unfortunately, it can also be your home’s most cluttered and disorganized space, leading to everything from desperate, already-late-for-work dashes to find your car keys to pets looking at you quizzically as you embark on a scavenger hunt for their leashes. Here are two quick tips to clear up that all-important space and save you from hustling to find those items that always seem to vanish whenever you need them. STOP THE SHOE STACK If your front entryway typically looks like a sneaker factory hit by a tornado, the first step is to get all that footwear — especially if it’s wet or muddy — out of your way and
into easily accessible locations. You can utilize baskets or shelves to organize those items by person and even assign each area a name or number to help family members (or guests) find them without hassle. The same goes for gloves, hats, scarves, socks, boots, umbrellas, and other weather-specific attire. If your entryway space is minimal, consider adding hooks and shelves to a nearby wall to keep these essentials — plus purses, keys, and other daily accessories — in one spot. Best of all, everyone will know where to place certain items instead of dropping one glove in the living room and another in the kitchen. Imagine that! PERFECT THE PET PARENT PLAYBOOK Of course, you also need to keep things neat for your beloved animal companions. Leashes, pet clothing, and waste scoopers
should also have designated spaces in your reorganizing entryway. Storing your pet essentials in a dedicated place will be especially helpful when your furry friends wake you up in the middle of the night so you can take them outside to do their business. From making a great first impression to keeping tasks convenient for your family, a decluttered front entryway is one of the best and most practical gifts you can give your home.

A BEACH PICNIC There’s nothing quite as relaxing as a day of fun at the beach. Create a picnic lunch with your mom’s favorite foods and drinks to take to one of the quieter beaches, like Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas or Memorial Park near Pacific Beach. You can set the scene with a comfy picnic blanket and fresh flowers to make beach day something out of the ordinary. If she likes being out on the water, consider gifting her a cruise or gondola ride.
