Y’all….this is genius:

It’s called a Mimish and it can hold all of those stuffed animals that don’t have a real place to call home for you.  Then the kids can enjoy it as a bean bag chair!

So smart.  Why didn’t I think of that?

My darling friend Julie Gates, who was the host of the Gene and Julie show for years (CBS Radio – 103.7) always used to chat with me about great ways to store stuffed animals.  There never was a perfect answer for either of us but we didn’t know about the Mimish then!

My son piles his “pets” into an old Elephant Saddle that belonged to my father-in-law.  He loves to sit in it and snuggle or read but it is enormous and takes up half of the playroom.  You can see a picture of it in this DMoms Feature from a few years ago.  As we purge and prepare for our move, I think the Mimish is the perfect amount of space to allocate to our stuffed animals.  I’ll order one for him and let him fill it up to move with us!
