Problem 1: No place to put all my "bag lady" bags.
Solution 1: Go buy hooks to hang so all the bags have a home.
Problem 2: Brooks takes forever (aka 3 weeks) to hang the hooks.
Solution 2: Complain and get really upset with Brooks for taking forever to do me a favor, return the hooks and buy this piece of furniture with built in hooks (and storage, thank you!) and everyone wins.
Problem 3: Jordyn will not sit and eat anymore because she thinks she is big, or independent or something like that.
Solution 3: Get this IKEA table that is just her size and keep it stocked with snacks every second of the day so she can come and go as she pleases.
Problem 4: Jordyn found out how to turn on the water while she gets ready in the sink.
Solution 4: Move a mirror to the toilet so she too can have her space to get ready in.
Problem 5: Having only one toothbrush means that one hand of Jordyn's is always left empty.
Solution 5: Give the girl 2 toothbrushes to carry everywhere. (Trust me, I know how nasty these guys get. We have already boiled them and sprayed them down with hydrogen peroxide many a times.)
Problem 6: Since I didn't buckle down and get a glider, (something that I WILL be getting whenever baby 2 comes along) I have been sitting on this hard rocker and nursing Jordyn. Let's just say that a flat butt and wooden rocker do not mix.
Solution 6: Use the pillows that should have been used for Jordyn's bedding as my cushions.

Problem 7: We have a shower/tub. Jordyn is really into baths now (meaning that now I have to watch her rather than let her play in the shower while I finished getting ready) but thinking about putting Jordyn in our tub kind of grosses me out because we all know how gross those duos can get.
Solution 7: Move all of her toys into our claw foot tub and dedicate it "Jordyn's Bath". And com'on now, you know there is nothing cuter than a kid taking a bath in a 1930s claw foot tub.
My sister-in-law Amber always has some really cute outfit ideas on her blog, which leads me to Problem 8: I can't find a cute faux fur vest for me.
Solution 8: Realize that the super cute faux fur coat that Brit gave me, also doubles as a super cute faux fur vest. At least my daughter will be hip and we all know that mothers are judged by what their kids wear, so I am happy with this!
Go ahead and throw any of your problems my way, I am sure to have a solution.

Jacki, the table looks great! You forgot to tell your readers that you painted it and accented it with the black flowers! That could have been a post in itself!
Also, I didn't want that video of Jordyn to end, either! I could listen to her talk all day!
OK, Love the entry way. Way to go. I hope Brooks didnt get too mad that you came home with it, but when we sit and stew like that a girl's gotta do what a girls gotta do!
And hello, why have I not seen that IKEA table? Like, did it COME pink and with flowers? So cute.
