My Baby Shower Gift: Baby Folders

Since just about everyone I know is currently knocked up (or working on getting there!), I tried to come up with a good baby gift idea that is useful and different than what most people buy.  When I saw this idea on Pinterest, I knew I had found my answer:  a baby folder!

A baby folder is the perfect gift for someone like me to give.  I'm super organized and as a lawyer, I feel like being on top of the paperwork is key to any new undertaking....like motherhood.  I love having one place to keep all of the baby-related paperwork and love even more that it's portable rather than just having hanging folders in a file cabinet.  When you go to the doctor, you can take the folder with you and have your paperwork all right there.

So, I bought some cute expandable file folders, some file folders, fun colored sharpies, and I went to work.

I used the following categories:

Birth Certificate & Social Security Card
Keepsakes
Photos
Pediatrician
Shot Records
Insurance
Nursing/Feeding
Parenting Articles
Receipts/Warranties
Manuals
Coupons
Miscellaneous

I must say, I was quite pleased with the final results!
