I am a new SAHM, and since I'm doing more housekeeping myself, I am looking for any helpful ideas to make things easier.
My daughter (4-yr. old) detests wearing shoes and socks, so she is barefoot all the time. She likes for me to be barefoot, too, and often would pull off my high heels as soon as we got home. She thinks that when I don't have on shoes, I am not going out anywhere (like work), so I can play with her.
It seems like it would not be difficult to institute a house rule that we will always be barefoot inside. Anyone else have this rule? Does it help keep things cleaner? Does it apply to both family and guests?
In general, around the house, are you barefoot, in socks or in shoes? How about the kids? On what kinds of flooring?
Do you and/or the kids go barefoot outside, like in the yard?
Where do you store shoes (ex.-bin, closet by the door, etc.)?
