Organized New Mom Tip #7: Extras, Extras, Extras

Don’t let anyone tell you differently-it’s true that your teeny-tiny bundle of joy needs a U-Haul to carry around all of his newborn stuff.  This tip piggybacks a little on a couple of my previous posts, but it’s worth noting, and I think the title pretty much says it all. From pacifiers to burp cloths to rattles to receiving blankets, you can never have enough. When planning your nursery storage, plan space for extras because you need double, triple or even quadruple of everything.
If you’re short on cash, don’t worry. There’s no need to break the budget:
·    Register for extras. If you’re having a baby shower you can always ask for 3 hooded towels instead of one and let your friends and family shell out the dough (Click here to create a gift registry at Just Delivered-we carry tons of fun and unique baby essentials J)
·    Hit up your friends with kids. Trust me; they’re probably looking for a place to unload all of their baby things.
·    Shop at baby consignment stores. Since babies have been known to grow quickly, so much baby stuff at these stores are almost new and at least half the price of retail.
