I believe some of the most important mommy necessities aren't actual "things"...
My biggest mommy necessity is INFORMATION! I constantly need info on development, illnesses, where to go when I need things for the kids at reasonable prices, etc...
Let's face it, the reason we've heard the following saying over and over is because its true!
"Kids do not come with instruction manuals!"
I have found the following links and book essential in keeping me sane when it was the middle of the night and you can't call anyone for advice on what to do for a screaming baby who isn't sick, hot, cold, hungry, wet or anything....or when I just didn't have the time or energy to go out to buy anything.
Number 1 on my list goes to none other than....
BABYCENTER.COM
This site is AMAZING! There are sooo many parents from all over who give great advice for any issue you could think of. This is life experience advice... and some expert doctor advice too...
This is where you want to go when you need lots of information.... they have almost everything covered.
2nd place belongs to
DIAPERS.COM
This is a "convenience" site. I LOVE LOVE LOVE diapers.com. Who wants to be lugging around huge diaper boxes and one or two babies all over a store??? Not me!
Diapers.com delivers diapers, formula and almost anything else you need for your baby right to your doorstep within 2 days. And best of all, they have FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING with orders of over $49....
When you think about it, a box of Pampers are about $40 and you almost always need a onesie or a PJ set(which they have at competitive prices too).
Next thing you know...
POOF....
You have diapers and whatever else at your door in a couple of days and NO running around a store with kids and (impossible to accommodate on a stroller) diaper boxes!
3rd place goes to
THE HAPPIEST BABY ON THE BLOCK by Harvey Karp
This book is amazing! It really does work! I have read many parenting books but this is by far the best and most effective. Not to mention its an easy read and its not 500 pages. :)
