Please leave shoes at the door.” I do like that. I think removing shoes at the door can really make a difference. I dedicated an whole blog to this subject. You might want to take a look. “Pesticide Free Home. Please leave shoes at the door.”

Oh well. I guess I'll have to ruffle some feathers.

I was thinking about this today when, while weeding my garden, I smelled smoke from my neighbor's yard. I actually for a moment thought that there should be a law not allowing others to smoke outdoors when the wind is blowing toward someone else's property. Anyway... then I had my little epiphany: Would you ever hesitate to ask someone not to smoke in your house? Is this not a similar situation of exposing yourself and family to known carcinogens? Besides, get some cute slippers for folks to wear, and you can always blame it on wanting to keep your wood floors scratch-free or your carpet clean.
