Our front door opens directly into our living room - no foyer space whatsoever. I keep a large wicker basket tucked under an end table to contain shoes. It's not ideal, no, but it keeps them together and not all over the house. My girls - 3 & 6 - know that when they take shoes off - they go in the basket.
Ikea makes an awesome slim profile cabinet that is a shoe storage system. It's just rather big and I don't have room for it in our living room.

@SeanIRL - I respectfully disagree. I don't find it condescending at all. I think she worded it in such a way that it seems less like such a strict list of rules of don't do this and don't do that or I'll take it away.

I'd be curious to have an update as to how this contract has held up in 6 mos or so.

I have this recipe bookmarked to try. Since I have some fresh strawberries at home, too, I may give this a whirl tonight.

I have two and this is what works for me: 1. I keep a luggage tag attached to my diaper bag that is a list of everything I need. Before I leave, I check the list and make sure I've got everything. When we get home from an outing, I don't put my diaper bag away until I've restocked it with everything.
