What Can't You Live Without?

040609darkchocolate.jpg
Real Simple's special Family edition posed this question to moms back in the Fall issue, and we've been thinking about it for a while. These days dark chocolate, red wine, and freshly brewed coffee top our list. Other moms in survey answered everything from their Blackberry to the BabyBjorn carrier.

 
 

Also on the list:

• A timer to set so that a child knows when it's five minutes until bedtime and that's that. See our previous post on timers.

• Audiobooks for long books and long car trips.

• A camera for capturing all of those special moments.

• A sense of humor- no explanation needed.

Parents- what can't you live without?

My daughter was a big crier, so the Miracle Blanket saved our sanity for the first few months. We also got a lot of use out of the Ergo carrier, BOB stroller, and a white noise cd.
