Every now and then I come across an idea that has either helped me as a mom or that would have helped me had I only known! So I thought since I have this blog available and it attracts new moms maybe I’ll share a thing or two in the event it might make another moms life easier!  Let’s start from the beginning.  The baby shower!

Before you throw away some of that pretty packaging your gifts came in take a look at how it might come in handy both now and later down the road.  Those crib sheet and Bumbers come in some pretty handy pouches. Some of them even have zipper closure!  Before you know it you are going to be swimming in small things that have no place of their own. Keep these handy bags!!

When my daughter was small I kept everything in these.  From those rings that go on her playmat to hair bows and headbands that had no business taking up space in the bathroom since it would be another 10 months before she had enough hair for them!!

You may have to add a hanger, but a lot of them come with a little ring of their own that make it perfect for storing.

As your child gets bigger their toys get smaller!  The days of throwing everything into one big box are gone!  When it’s time to move out the baby stuff keep the bags.   Unless you want to spend hours searching for Tinkerbell’s tinyest tea cup EVER..   put a pretty little label on one of these lovely bags, hang it in the closet, and viola! Everything has a place  😉
