Why You NEED These Items

Wouldn’t it be nice if someone told you what items you might need before you actually needed the item? Say no more! I’ve created a list of items every single mother should own and I’ve included links to where you can purchase the items.

Do you remember the quote, “It’s better to be repared for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared”? Well, the same goes for us as mothers, let’s not wait until something happens; let’s be proactive and not reactive– I have you covered. Please read below.

Below is a list of  described items that have helped me so much! They’re items that will keep your home organized and your mind sane because raising children on your own  can drive anyone bananas

 

1) Counter Gap Cover

Don’t you hate when you’re cooking and food falls on the side of your stove? Right between the cracks of the counter and the stove? ME TOO! Seriously, who’s going to pull the stove out so we can clean between those spots? Thank goodness I found a solution.

2) Oil Diffuser

If you’re anything like me, you want your kids to go to bed at a decent hour so you can finally rest, read a book or just do nothing. You deserve it, right? But you have small kids who are afraid of the dark and they “can’t” sleep. Here’s your solution– Oil Diffuser with a night light. The oil fragrance will help your  child rest easy at night while the colors of the diffuser peacefully changes colors.

It works perfect for older children as well. It’s a great way to get rid of teenage bodily odors in their rooms, can help with sleeping habits and it can help create a peaceful atmosphere.

3) Ceiling Fan Duster

Dust and asthma mixed together can cause an unnecessary visit to your primary doctor, but  it can all be prevented if you dusted your ceiling fan and other areas in your home that collect dust. What if you’re only 5’1” and can’t reach certain areas of your home? We have you covered. This item is great because it can be used anywhere and it’s long enough to allow you to stand on the ground and simply use the handle to clean the area.

It’s simple, easy and it’s great for you.

4) Motivation

When you’re raising kids you need all the support you can get. Motivation is key to raising productive, law abiding,  successful individuals. The happier you are, the happier your child will be. Grab a book and relax.

5) Portable potty for toddlers

Hold on, before you judge, let me share a story with you. One day I decided to take my  my 2 year old son and 3 year old daughter to new community park. After playing for over an hour my son said, “Mommy, I need to potty”.

First, I HATE public bathrooms. They’re so nasty! But the babies had to use the restroom. I turn to my left, no restroom, I turned to my right, no restroom… OH NOOOOO… There were no restrooms! I was saved by another parent– thank goodness!  She had a portable potty. I asked her where she bought her portable  potty from and she said, “ I order it online; it’s a life saver”.  What did I do? I went online and bought one.
