A Big Change In a Tiny Space: Designing My Baby's Nursery

Even before I had a baby on the way, I used to love to brainstorm about how we’d eventually make space for another person in our small home someday. I’ve always wanted to be a mom, so preparing for this baby has been really exciting. This has been a dream project because I’ve gotten to combine my Space Camp skills with creating a new haven for my baby! If you have a baby on the way, I hope some of the solutions we’ve come up with will help you turn your ideal nursery into a reality (and have fun while you’re doing it).

Organizing Meaningful Things

Last week I had the daunting task of traveling to Wichita, KS (where I was born and raised) to help my sister clean out a storage unit full of our childhood stuff. Boxes and bins of photos, video tapes, baby clothes, toys and books. Whew, I’m exhausted just writing about it.

From an organizational perspective, tidying anything that has sentimental value can be difficult. Whether it’s clothing we’ve grown out of, dishes that have cracked (but we used to love), or a couch we spent a decade watching movies on, choosing to part with something that has defined an era of our lives is emotional.
