Imagine the last push to get out the door. You're on the floor, getting coats, bags, and shoes on everyone. Wait, they don't have socks. Now, you hear the complaining about not wanting to go all the way upstairs to go get the socks. Honestly, you don't blame them - you don't want to either.
I happened to have one extra basket, made a quick liner, labeled it (of course) and throw socks in it. It's brilliant, it's easy, and it makes getting out the door just a little bit easier!
What else can I copy? What do you do to help get going on your errands a little easier (besides hiding your head in a bucket and never wanting to leave the home)?

I might make this just for all the single socks that I have that I'm afraid to throw away because I know the second I do the other one will pop up out of nowhere! I'm always trying to decide where the best place to keep them is...this might just work!
I went to that blog and it is so beautiful! I love the socks basket. I wish I knew how to make a liner.
Lists...they help me get out of the door faster.
I love this idea! I might have to copy since my kids never come up with socks on their feet.
You're right. Brilliant! However, I already have a basket by my back door--I just haven't folded any of my clothes yet! :)
How great! I love that idea!
Great idea! When my kids were a bit younger, I kept an extra toothbrush and toothpaste for everybody in the 1st floor bathroom so we didn't have to run back upstairs at the last minute.
great idea! maybe i will copy you now:)

I am envious of your embroidery machine. What a great idea - putting that one on the "Things I've learned from Laurel for when I have kids" list. It's already several pages long!
Great idea for the sock basket, and of course it is so cute as well! Wish I had your talent girl!
Hope everything else is good with you! Have a great weekend! :)

I'm with Mia on this one =)
Genius! I might have to do this for the Husband's errant socks w/ no mates, b/c I'm convinced the other half is around here somewhere.
(And totally LOL'ing at your old orchid neighbor comment on my post!)
That is a great idea!!
Hi Laurel :)
That's a brilliant idea! I think I need one for every member of the family ;)

Cute idea! Thanks for posting the anti-procrastination tip on my blog-it was a good one!
Your basket is so cute. :) My cousin has always done a sock basket - I should too. You did a great job!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking time to comment. I love this idea. My mom always called our sock mismatch "sock heaven." With kiddos I am sure I will need one soon enough.
Very cute! And a great idea!
