Sorting & storing new baby items
I took all the items I have purchased from small shops, hand me downs, and the registry boxes and sorted them into categories: feeding/nursing, bath/lotions, diapering, clothing, photo props, hospital bag, extras, and coupons. I then decided, based on size, what pile was going in what box. I then took the boxes and put them back in Nolan’s closet (boxes in the doored cabinets). Now when I get a couple odds and ends (either from a new registry, gift, or purchase) I can put it in the corresponding box. I feel better when things are organized. Things don’t look cluttered and when I am ready to set up baby’s area(s) it should be a quick process since I can just distribute the box to the location. Also, having a hospital box can allow me to weed out what I want and don’t, sort them into the right place if I change my mind, and grab when it is time (the bag is in there waiting to be packed.)
