Jennifer's Favorite Things (Storage)

With so many of my friends and family having babies I have been thinking about all the products that I have or wish I had for Aiden. Once I started looking up all the items I would like to share I realized that there are far more than I would want to list in one blog entry. Not to mention all the products that I have not found yet! So, here are a few of storage items.


The first item is the Size It Closet Organizer. I just found this in the last couple of days and I wish I had known about it before Aiden was born. The big problem with baby clothes is that you get clothes that don't fit yet. I ended up separating Aiden's clothes with several empty hangers so that I knew which clothes were newborn and which were other sizes. Of course there are times when Rod puts the laundry away and he did not seem to realize that I had tried to organize the clothes by size and what went where. At $7.95 per pack this is an expensive way to solve the problem. I also think this would make a great gift.


The second item that would be in my wishlist is My Closet Organizer System for Kids. With a baby comes lots of stuff. It could be more stuff than you even imagine. Anything that can create storage is a plus. The individual pieces in this set are not that expensive, but organizing the whole closet could cost a pretty penny. Since you can buy the pieces separately it would not be that hard to add them to a registry or buy parts one at a time. Even just one piece in the set is useful. The other thing that I like about this system is that it can be personalized. If you have one closet for two children you can keep things straight simply by putting the name of the child on whatever section. You could also put the name of the item that belongs there. Personalization costs more of course.

Dream Drawer Drawer Organizer. Do I need to say more?


Last but not least (at least for this post) is actually two items. I know I want one of them, but I am not sure which one. The first is the Cottage Collection 6 Bin Storage Unit. I like the fact that it has six bins for more storage. The reason why I like this over a toy chest is that you can actually organize toys and other items instead of just throwing them in a big chest. The other item is the Cottage Collection Bench Storage. This one has less storage, but like some toy chests it adds a seat in the room. I don't know about your nursery space, but we only have one chair in the room. Most of the time that is fine, but every now and then both Rod and I are in Aiden's room. What I like about both of these items is that as baby gets older you can always change the colors. (I am also assuming that you can paint or tint the wood to match the rest of the furniture, but I have to admit that I don't knowing about that.)

Even if you have no interest in these products I hope that this at least gives you some storage ideas for you or someone else.
