Stuff
As I was cleaning out the garage last weekend, I came to a conclusion. Having kids does not mean you need a bigger house, it is the STUFF that comes with them!
You need a crib, a portable crib, a changing table, a highchair, a car seat, a thing to put around their head in the car seat, a car seat cover, then a booster seat, a diaper bag, a snugli, an exersaucer, a bassinet for when they are newborns, snowsuits, boots, hats, mittens, warm weather booties and hats and mittens,blankets, sleepers, a nuk, bottles, baby spoons, bibs, sippy cups,diapers, formula, gates, safety doo dads for all the doors and cupboards, a stroller, a jogging stroller, an umbrella stroller...and do not get me started on toys!
When I was a kid, I shared a bed with my brother and my mother brought me home from the hospital by laying my in the back seat of the car...no seat belt, no car seat, just me on a blanket. This is why our parents have more money than us because they did not buy into all that stuff.
Anyway, the garage is a lot cleaner since we donated all the baby stuff.

We had not only our own stuff but my mother-in-law had stuff from taking care of all those babies. I think we have got rid of most of the baby stuff.
Of course, there wasn't all that stuff to buy into!
And the law makes you buy some of it.
Don't you miss all that stuff?
Yah.... I remember those days... No seat belts and a toy car or doll to play with. Nothing like those fisher price castles, boats or humungous play areas to take up space. Nowadays... I had better not get started! LOL
Kids definitely come with ALOT of stuff. I am always trying to find room for something and just when I think I am organized something else big comes along that needs a place to go.
