I know it sounds like a really obvious title. To mothers it may be, but to a soon to be 50 year old Dad, its a godsend! I made the huge error of walking into a baby store a few weeks ago and was knocked out by the cost of supplying my future bundle of joy! Being the “Old Guy” in my circle of friends at my church, I was informed of the plethora of lightly, barely or just plain unused items that are available to soon to be parents online. I have my own shopping site that I use for almost everything, but being able to buy a car seat and a stroller for half of the retail price just makes some good financial sense. Cribs, carriers, strollers, clothes, toys, monitors, its all there on the inter webs! I’ve been told by so may parents to get this,not that, or you will need this, but not that.

 So the first order was a nursery. After haggling with the roommate, she decided where the nursery will be. I also have a small project of opening up unused attic space that was closed off by a knee wall. I opened two up and discovered I have huge amount of storage! almost an extra 100 sq ft. It was already semi-floored and has lights. We picked    out paint and the theme for the nursery. We went with the original Disney Jungle Book from 1968. Best Disney film in my opinion. Lion King is a close second. However, due to the age of that film and the over production of Frozen and Cars, not much of that decor exists anymore. Hello, etsy! I found a lot of wall decals other ideas for helping us go through the transformation.
