As a family of 4, I feel like we have a lot of stuff! As a means to declutter our home, I have found that there are 5 products our family could not live without. I am sure you can relate to this list of must haves!
#1 Baby wipes
I never bought baby wipes until I had children – now I can’t possibly imagine life without them. It doesn’t take long to appreciate just how many other uses wipes have. I seriously use these things for far more than wiping the toosh of my sweetie pie!
#2 Skip Hop Moby Safety Bath Kneeler
This little whale invention has saved my knees from the hard bathroom tile floor while washing my babies and watching them play in the bathtub. I got
it as a gift before having my second child and it has been A-MAZ-ING! I get it for all new moms now.
#3 A travel bag for restaurants or when visiting someone without kids
This works.
I pack a bag (and it changes occasionally) filled with busy activities our kids can do while out at a restaurant to entertain them. They have NO CLUE what is in the bag until we get to the restaurant. I don’t like giving them our phones or iPads to entertain them…just good ole activities. Sometimes I pack the bag with Barbies, Polly Pockets, coloring books, Play Doh, games, schoolwork, etc. but the idea is to have something to pull out continuously when one thing loses attention. I allow each of the girls to take 1 thing out at a time to play with. When they have finished and there is still time, they may pull out another item to play with. This has eliminated so many meltdowns and Ben and I trying to entertain the girls with a straw wrapper. And…imagine this…we can have an adult conversation and not feel like we are ignoring our kids. WIN, WIN!
#4 The toddler step stool
This has been my saving grace time and time again! The girls like to help me in the kitchen with baking, cooking, washing their play dishes in the sink, etc. This step stool (which I actually had my dad make for me but it looks exactly like this one) has been such a blessing! Not only do they use it, but I also use it to get tough to reach items in the kitchen. The best part is they are able to lean forward, resting their knees on the back panel without feeling like they are going to topple over.
#5 Shakeology
This may seem strange to have on a list but we don’t go a day without this super-food smoothie! My youngest daughter is a bit of a picky eater and doesn’t like her veggies or meats. Now that I give them Shakeology every day, I can chuck the multivitamin out the window and know that my girls are getting the nutrition equivalent to 7 salads, their daily dose of fruits and veggies AND it is safe for them to use (although not tested in young ones by Beachbody). My oldest has always struggled with tummy issues and using the restroom regularly and drinking Vegan Chocolate Shakeology has helped tremendously! The link to try it out is below along with a short, 3 minute video that gives you everything you’d like to know about this A-MAZ-ING product!
