After being both a working mom and then a stay-at-home mom
of two-year-old twins, I learned quickly how a few
adequately stocked household items could
make life so much better.
10. Disinfectant wipes: They make cleaning so much
easier because they can be used on multiple surfaces to
clean up multiple messes.
9. Toilet paper: The bigger the family, the faster you
run out.
8. Milk: It has multiple uses: cooking, drinking,
mixing, etc.
7. Rice: It is easy to cook, cheap to buy, makes a meal,
or makes a side.
6. Seasoning: Always makes meals or sandwiches taste
100% better.
5. Colors: Entertains kids everyday.
4. Vitamins: Provides strength and energy.
3. Ice: Always refill the ice trays so kids can have
smoothies and milkshakes. It keeps them quiet for at
least fifteen minutes.
2. Disposable washcloths: Makes bath time quick, fast,
and easy with less mess.
1. Film: Take a lot of pictures. It's amazing how fast
kids will grow.
