So many of you second, third or fourth time around parents know how fast babies outgo their clothes.  And many of your first time parents are realizing that getting bombarded with clothes from all the baby showers can get very overwhelming. By the time you have finished organizing babies closet for their newborn and 0-3 months clothes.... they have outgrown them and are onto 3-6 months, then 6-9 months, then 9-12 months!  That is a lot of packing and unpacking.  To make matters worse, sometimes you don't even realize what you have until it is too late!  There is nothing worse that finding a brand new outfit that got misplaced and found a month too late!  Take it from one mama who had her fair share of clothes swapping and closet organizing, when they outgrow clothes in only a matter of months.. and you have boxes of stuff for them to grow into, why not put a years worth of clothes up for them in their closet and be done with it.  Sound overwhelming?  Not if you have...... a maid!

OK, just kidding.  Although that would be nice, not always an option.  I'll try that one again.  Not if you have labels! Yeah, labels... like the department stores do. Not that I can even remember what the inside of a store looks like.. but I do remember those S M & L tags that made finding my size easy.  I thought that would be a great idea for a babies closet to separate all the different months of baby clothes, but still allow for all the clothes to be hung (great for those clothes that fit in between sizes).  I guess I didn't think of this first because Sugar Booger by Ore has a whole line of adorable closet organizers will help separate and spectaculate (that is so a word) your babies closet!  Find them @ OreOriginals.Com

 

Wall letters are such a fun and endearing decoration to add to a nursery. They are a sweet and portable way to customize and decorate your babies nursery with out a lot of work. Plus, they transform well into a toddler/preschoolers bedroom! Wood wall letters are fun, but modern boutique canvas wall letters like this... are even better! These super swanky and adorable custom hand painted canvas wall letters from Swanky Baby Boutique are beautifully done on a flat 8x10 canvas panel (flat is very nice and harder to knock off the walls if your artwork happens to be hanging above the crib and your baby has go-go-gadget arms).  Find them @ SwankyBabyBoutique.Com

Setting up your diaper changing station in your very first nursery is such a fun project for new moms!  The organizing, the planning, thinking ahead that you will only have one hand to grab items quickly and may get peed on at any moment!  It is kind of like dad setting up his workbench in the garage of a new house.  You got your work area, your tools, your plan of attack in case of emergencies and so on. But for those mommies who have abandoned their beloved "workbench", setting up a portable changing area for the house is a very common thing, especially when the changing table is upstairs, beyond 2 gates and their is toxic leakage!!  The Skip Hop Diaper Toolbox is a great modern diaper caddy with drawers and side pockets to hold all the little diaper knickknacks you may have and a dozen diapers. It has a handle so you can drag it from room to room. Find it ModernSeed.Com

A soft and cuddly... TV. This will definitely go in the "I have to have this" category. I am torn on if giving a plush TV to a child is a good or bad thing, but regardless it is one of the neatest children's gadgets I have seen. Someone fun loving and very connected to their childhood must of dreamt this baby up! Any of the Hannspree 10′ LCD Plush Television's will cheer up and add the perfect finishing touch to any animal or jungle themed nursery or play room. If only it was portable ;-)
