Well....we're moving tomorrow. We're actually moving right behind where we live now and this is going to quite possibly the easiest move we have ever and probably will ever make. Since, the distance is so close to us, I've been taking things over slowly so that I can try to organize them better and one of my goals was to get all the baby stuff grouped together. Where we are currently, the baby stuff has landed in all different rooms.
So, it's now taking up more of my new garage than I really expected it to. The sad thing is that almost everything you see here are really the necessary keep items. The things that I will definitely use again: swing (which you can't even see because there is so much stuff piled on top), high-chair, 2 bouncy chairs, a bumbo, the pack and play, breastpump, toys, bathtub, playmat, stroller and carseat (on the other side) maternity clothes (not many at all) and some of J's old clothes. Jenna's clothes are in the purple, green, and a really big plastic tub on the very bottom. And looking at this I'm actually very glad now that I haven't kept every.single.piece.of.her.clothing....I bet if I had kept every little thing, we would have had at least 10 more storage totes.
Even JM commented on how much baby stuff we have. The baby stuff just adds up like crazy. And really, a baby doesn't "need" all of this. Sure, it makes life a bit easier, but it's not even used for that long. (Let it also be said that I'm extremely thankful for everything. Almost all of this was gifts and I'm definitely not trying to sound un-grateful at all.) So, this is exactly why I'm not a pack rat. Because the stuff just ends up piling up and taking over your house (or garage in this case.) And in the end, it's all just stuff. :)

So you guys did end up deciding to move....hope you enjoy your new place.
Isn't it crazy how much baby stuff we accumulate? And it's not so much the gear...it's the CLOTHES! AHH!
Remember all the baby gear I sold in Corpus? The only expensive thing I replaced though was the baby swing...and Bowen never even used it!! haha.
It is crazy how much stuff a baby accumulates!! Hope you enjoy the new place! Moving is no fun, but this move will be much cheaper!!
I've given you a Kreative Blogger award...check out my blog for what to do next :)
I can never decide what and how much baby stuff to keep! We just moved to a smaller place, and it's time (again) to purge. It does seem stupid to have to buy it all again in a few years, though, you know?
