ORGANIZING TINY BABY CLOTHES

Baby clothes are teeny tiny and there's a lot of them!  There's the short sleeve onesie, the long sleeve onesie, the pajama, the footed pajama, the burp cloths... the list goes on.  If you're a mom, you're probably nodding your head with a smirk on your face right now saying "oh yeah" and if you're not a mom you're probably scratching your head and thinking "how could a tiny baby have so much stuffs?"  Of course being the OC that I am, I just had to organize my daughter's drawer.

DIY BAPTISM FAVORS

It has been a week since my daughter got baptized.  We were blessed to have our family and friends with us as we welcomed Loren to the Christian world.  We gave out rosary rings as favors for her baptism reception.  It came out much better than I have expected and I was really happy with the finished product.

BYE BYE PAPER CLUTTER

 Organizing paper clutter is one of the most taxing task I could think of.  Sorting through document after document and figuring out what is important and what is not important is very time consuming.  Once you've sort through your stack of papers, you need a filing system to help you keep organized. Here are 8 paper organizers that could do the job depending on the size of the documents you have and the functionality you have in mind.

DIY TRIANGLE ART

When I was decorating the nursery,  I wanted a neutral art wall that my daughter will not outgrow.  In one of my searches, I came across a triangle art 'Mountain' by concretehoney in Etsy.  I recreated this art using neutral colors (dark gray and light gray) but on a much bigger scale. 

HOW TO STORE BABY'S NEW CLOTHES

This is a long over due post (after all, my baby is now 2 months old!) on how to organize baby clothes for storage.  After my baby showers, I was faced with the dilemma of figuring out how to store the clothes I got for my daughter.  I have to confess that before I got pregnant, I didn't know that baby clothes were sized by month --- NB, 0-3, 3-6, etc.  I was confused on how some sizes' overlapped like 3-6 months and 3-9 months or 6-12 months and 6-9 months.  So, when I was deciding on how to store my daughter's clothes, it was important to me that I could easily sort through the clothes to make sure I know which she can already use and which she already has so I won't buy doubles.  Since I didn't have a lot to store and I wanted to maximize space (I wanted to use the space under the crib), I opted to use an underbed shoe organizer over clear bins and over sized Ziploc bags.

DIY FOLDER TABS

Since I have been home for a while, I've picked up some "projects" around the house that I have been too lazy to do.  Today, I worked on my filing bin.  My filing bin is pretty organized but it doesn't look nice, for a lack of a better term, I think its boring and ugly looking.
