Now don’t get me wrong shopping for everything is a blast, but my favorite part is taking all the boxes apart and setting everything up. First we put together the stroller and then the play yard/bassinet, the car seat was all ready to go once it was out of the box. Then my mom and I spent probably another 2 hours, organizing all his drawers and putting all his clothes away. This may seem like an easy task, but anyone that knows me, knows that everything I own is color and size coordinated so of course the baby’s closet has to be too. Sure it takes a little extra time but in the end it is worth it and super easy to find anything you need. And remember those hangers I told you about, I ended up buying 40 thinking I would have extra, but at the end I found myself needing more. It is crazy because you forget all the stuff you have until you start putting it all away. I took some pictures of everything we did yesterday and with my mom’s help his room looks awesome. It is not finished yet, but it is getting there.

Mandy,
Are you putting a changing pad on top of the dresser?

Mandy,
Jenn, my daughter has so many clothes hanging in the clost for Eli (18 months) that she needs another closet rod put in under the first. You may want to do that for a couple of years if you have more clothes than room. I organized Eli’s room (I too love organization and enjoy doing it). Amazingly, his two dressers filled up fast and so did his changing table shelves and baskets.
A thought, have you ever considered going into business for yourself organizing peoples closet (clothes, etc.)?
Love, Susan
