I have been torn. First: as I’ve said a million times- I am poor. Like, really poor. But, my house/condo/townhouse is 1100 sq feet and by March will house my husband, myself, Hudson, Sawyer & Truman, two dogs and a cat.

That is a LOT of life in 1100 square feet. So, I have to be really careful about how I use the space and keeping things design savvy enough that people don’t think they walked into the world’s teeniest day care center. Unfortunately, high design costs money. It is a legitimate problem finding baby/kid items that are nice to look at, functional and take up little space- at a Goodwill price.

With Hudson I found a great highchair that was pretty, functional and takes up very little space. The price was hefty for a highchair but Hudson has really great aunties.

It’s one of those chairs that are so ridiculous that it doesn’t even come with the cushion- that sets you back another $40- hard earned dollars.

Anyways, I LOVE the Svan highchair and when I registered for it I figured Hudson and his FUTURE siblings could use it. Like, because there would be a gap of YEARS between my children. Clearly I fail. And now, Hudson will still need a highchair type apparatus when the twins start needing one as well. And yes, there are ways around buying more high chairs. But seriously- any mom who feeds a small baby/toddler on the regular KNOWS you cannot feed them one at a freaking time. (Yes, this has been suggested to me.) I don’t have enough time in the day. By the time breakfast was done it would be time to prepare lunch!

So, my awesome plan is that the highchair fairy will somehow bring me another Svan (or you know, I could save the $300.00) and then I will invest in this neat little booster for the Hud-B. That way, the twins will have matching highchairs and Hudson can still eat simultaneously.

And when Truman & Sawyer are out of highchairs- the Svan chair turns into a toddler chair and then an adult desk chair for their rooms. See, I SAID it was functional.

That’s my plan.
