Small; Day 1/1

My family has a small house. Incredibly small. Hence, organization is key. Although, it doesn't always happen.

Baby items take up a large amount of space ironically; for the person using the items is so tiny. Cupboard and drawer space has always been an issue in my seven cupboard and 1 drawer kitchen. Here is how I organized some of Elsa's baby items (i.e. bowls, plates, sippy cups, sippy cup lids and spoons). I purchased two white baskets ($2.50 for the set), one pencil cup holder ($1.00), and one pink basket ($1.00) from Target. I found these items in the $1.00+ section. As you can see from the picture, I placed the sippy cups in one of the white baskets (having to stack some of the them) and the lids in the pink basket. I labeled all the sippy cups with a permanent marker with the month they are to be used for. I stood up the plates and bowls on their sides, put the spoons in the pencil cup holder, and put all items in the other white basket. It works fairly slick.
