You're Not Livin'... If you're not learnin'...

Baby clothes! You can't live without them.. You need them... Now with how many baby clothes one gets can very from how many relatives/friends you have giving them to you! I know when Hannah-Bug was born, she had newborn clothes she NEVER wore! Part of me felt horrid the other part of me was like well at least I didn't spend the money on it... I know I'm horrid! Anyway, so I just started throwing the bearly worn, gently used, not fitting clothes into a huge garbage bag... For a while it was easy to hide it.. Kinda like a dirty little secret... *Don't judge! I know you have your dirty little secrets too!* hahahaha... However, finally I couldn't hide it anymore! It was slowly creeping out of her closet. Kinda like how that dirty dipper smell, you get a whiff of if it, then slowly but surly you KNOW it wasn't an innocent little fart that happened 10 minutes ago!! So you realize your gonna have to put on your big girl panties and deal with it, well that was me with cleaning\organizing her baby clothes. I know a lot of mom's who just give\trade\sell the clothes... However I wanted to be able to use the clothes again, if I am ever blessed with a bouncing baby girl, again! So I went to wal-mart, grabbed the biggest clear tub I could find.... Went home and got out all the clothes... CRUDE-O-LA!! Had to get back in the car and go get another one! This little chick-a had far too many clothes! Anyway... So after about 4 hours, of going through every little outfit, finding out the size putting it in the proper pile, realizing that I started making other piles and mixing them... I FINALLY achieved a little bit of organization!

Finished... Sorta

 Well anyway, as you can see in the upper picture, I have a little blue box found that under our guest bed, so I'm using it for clothes that I get that are too big for that point in time...And when I remember to, I go through it! In fact while taking pictures I found 4 more cute outfits! Oh and the bag in the middle... Baby towels, wash clothes, shoes, socks, hats, bibs lots of bibs, and a nursing cover up and a baby sling... Need to class that up a bit more too!

New Born to 6 months

 When most of the bin is filled to were I can close the lid nicely still, I pop a post-it note on the top of it stating what size through which size is in that bin...

So totally being ghetto with the trash bags! I marked them with permanent marker... Sigh if I had the funds I would so go and buy LOTS of...

I love these! However they are so $$$$$... My dream would to have each trash bag replaced with one of these nice *Space Bags!*

This is what it was SUPPOSED to look like:

*Ahem* cough-sputter...sigh and this is what MINE turned out like:

The Carmel never really hardened at all.. And since silly me didn't realize there was a difference between parchment and wax paper I used wax... And it STUCK!!!! HORRIDLY!!! OMGOSH!!!

It tasted, eh okay. LoL that could be because I was so upset about how stupid I felt when I realized there was a difference!  Hahahahaha... Well I guess your not living if your not learning something new every day!!!
