How to Organize Baby Clothes

The time is almost here. Your sweet little bundle is due to arrive in the next few weeks (or months depending on how intense your nesting urge is). You’ve unpacked all the cute outfits and adorable onsies, washed them, and are ready to put them in the nursery. But you don’t want that sweet little one to come home to a room that feels cluttered and chaotic. You want a place for everything and everything in it’s place. But there’s a problem: the clothes, though incredibly cute, are so tiny that no matter how you fold them or where you put them still end up looking like a disorganized heap. So how can you organize those baby clothes in a way that’s both practical and cute? Read on Momma, because your mind is about to be blown!
