Basket Case

One thing I couldn't live without right now is my basket. It's an oasis of organization in my temporary (I hope!) chaos!

I have everything I need to take care of Lauryn in my basket, and can keep it within easy reach no matter where I go. The last thing I want to worry about at the 3 a.m. feeding is where my book/burp cloth/wipes, etc. ran off to. Especially if Lauryn is crying!

Currently my basket holds: diapers, wipes, a clean outfit for Lauryn, burp cloth, nursing pads, lanolin, a nursing cover, my Nook, and extra ponytail holders. I love that I can just reach in and get what I need without any trouble - it's in a spot easily reached from the chair where I usually nurse and from the diaper changing spot I have set up on the bay window.
