On a daily basis, there are certain things I rely on to keep me sane/less frantic/better.
Here are a few items I would rather not live without:
- Black yoga pants. The SAHM uniform. I'm no exception.
- Coffee. Obviously.
- My Laptop. For all my very, very important [distractions] writing and networking.
- Luna Bars.* Preferably the Peanut Honey Pretzel, Vanilla Almond, or the harder-to-find Peanut Butter Cookie flavor.
- The Best of the Wiggles CD. A must for longer car rides (with children).
- Sam Adams or Blue Moon Seasonal Variety Packs. A surprise party in your fridge.
- Mum-Mums. To quiet a fussy or teething baby.
- Z Bars. To quiet a fussy or teething toddler or preschooler. We keep a stockpile of these for times [often] when my son won't eat anything else.
- Little Einstein's Mission Celebration DVD. Not going to lie. This DVD has saved my sanity more than a few times.
- Undereye Concealer. Need I explain?
- My Kindle. I love reading, and I never thought I'd give up actual books, but I'm hooked on Kindles. (Bonus: The free preschool apps are perfect for travel or quiet time!).
- Nars The Multiple Color Stick. Helps me look like a shadow of my former self. Expensive, but it lasts forever.
- Dark Chocolate Mini Reeses cups. No words, people, no words.
What are some of your sanity-savers? Please comment and share!
