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.
