Diaper Organizer turned Holiday Wrapping Station

December 4, 2013 By Jacque 9 Comments

*This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ & Rubbermaid Bento Organizers but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #HolidayBento  http://cmp.ly/3/8vNxcO*

If you follow us on Instgram I’m sure you haven’t missed the latest addition to our family.  Baby Josslyn decided to make her appearance into the world a whopping 6 weeks early!  So to say that we were surprised and slightly unprepared for her arrival would be an understatement!  It took us a few weeks to get into the swing of things, but now almost 5 weeks later we are finally catching on.

One of the things I quickly learned was that it was super important to be organized.  It can make the difference in getting out the door in 5 minutes or 20 minutes.  Yes, this has happened on quite a few occasions! 

Since our home is two stories it’s not always the fastest to run upstairs to change the baby.  Plus since I had an cesarian, stairs and I were not friends for a few weeks, most especially when I was carrying the baby.Newborn Portable Diaper OrganizerWhen we brought Josslyn home from the hospital Matt set up the pack-n-play in the family room, so I wouldn’t have to climb the stairs to change her or lay her down for naps.  It took about 2 diaper changes to realize we needed to have her changing products accessible!  Enter the Rubbermaid Bento Organizers available at Target.  I had been spying these for quite some time now.

Now that I have pretty much recovered from my surgery and stairs are no longer an issue, I decided to give my Rubbermaid Bento a new life!

Keep organized with a Holiday Wrapping StationLike I mentioned before being organized is a must and I do NOT have the time nor the patience to track down a roll of tape or a pair or scissors to wrap a Christmas present.  My solution was to create a wrapping station using the Rubbermaid Bento Organizer.

Keep organized with a Holiday Wrapping StationAll my wrapping accessories are in one convenient place, and I couldn’t be happier.  Now if I can just get my better half to remember to put the things back when he is done with them everything will be perfect!

    This is SUCH a great idea! I wish I would have had something like this when my kids were babies! Congrats on the new baby! I completely understand how having a preemie can surprise you! My oldest was born at 33 weeks and we had NOTHING for him! he’ll be 15 in February 🙂

    Oh no! That reminds me! I’d better set up a little changing station downstairs too. I’m going to go see if Target in Canada has those bentos yet! Love them!

    This is such a great idea! Is there any way you can tell me the name of this color of bento? I can’t for the life of me find this blue for sale online – everything is khaki or red.
    Thanks so much!

      I could not find the name of the color I used, but while I was at Target tonight I checked and they still have then in stock. I think this color was special made for Target stores. Also they were on a different isle than the other Bento’s! Hope that helps!
