Baby bumpers, beds, and britches...

Since my last post, I have started working as a full-time babysitter for a family at my church, Will is working full time at Wal-Mart, trying to work on his thesis, and looking for a job, and I am 32 weeks pregnant! The only thing that hasn't changed is where we live. We still live in the same dinky, damp apartment and are trying to find space for all of Isaiah's things. I will be done working in a couple weeks and will have much more time on my hands for completing the task of doing a thorough cleaning (which hasn't happened in a long time!) and rearranging furniture to make room for the baby.

I'm not a very good organizer, however, and really have no idea how to get things arranged in the apartment. We have some ideas but I know that we are not using our space efficiently. We have three dressers which are packed with our clothes and need one more for Isaiah but with the bassinette, changing table, and other large objects, we don't know if we have room for another dresser. My point is this: I need help organizing! Does anyone have any tips or ideas on how to organize more efficiently? We have some cupboard space being unused in our kitchen, and some room left in one cabinet for things. How can we use our space more efficiently in the kitchen? It seems odd to put things like toys or clothes in the kitchen. I would appreciate any ideas!! Thank you!

We would also appreciate prayers for the job situation. As I previously stated, I will be done working in a couple of weeks and Will is working at Wal-mart. He has been looking for a job for months and hasn't even had an interview! Thank you very much for everyone's prayers and friendship.

Hi Irene,

I found your blog through Mary's blog. :) You should let me come over and look at your space. People pay my Mom to organize them and I've learned a few things from her. (Plus, we've lived in 800 sq. feet or less for most of our marriage...even with 3 kids!) If it's well organized, it WILL fit. :) And if it won't fit...well then you probably don't need it. We'll chat...

Thanks Brite! There's a slight possibility that we are moving soon but we're not sure yet. I'll let you know because if we aren't moving then I will definitely need some help organizing and would love to have you over!
