All this snow sure makes a mess!

Boots, Boots and more Boots! With all this snow, comes lots of  water, dirt and mess in the mud room.  Here is my version of a boot mat to keep all the mess and wetness to a minimum. I saw a really neat item in Bed, Bath and Beyond last year that was just like this but a ltitle longer.  They wanted $20 for it I think.  I found the top lid of a big rubbermaid container to serve the same purpose.  As soon as the kids come in from outside, they put their boots on the lid.  The ridges all around the lid keep the water and dirt only on the lid and not on my floor.
