Life as a mom is hectic and it takes two things to power through the day: lots of energy and good essential products that make life easier. With a full house of four little kids, a hard working husband, two dogs and a cat there is always a mess. Allow me to repeat: there is always a mess. But you already knew that because you have kids too! Through trial and error over the past 9 years of my life as a mom I have come to rely on this mom’s essential products survival guide of 4 products that not only make my life easier, they make my entire home happier and healthier too. And now I get to share my essential product guide tutorial with you!
4 Essential Products for the Everyday Mom
As soon as I brought the huge bag of Bounty in the house, it had to be ripped open to clean up a spill.
Potty Happens: Charmin Toilet Paper
Potty happens. Since there are so many bums in my house, I need a lot of Charmin. And by a lot, I mean a lot. I have abandoned the idea of placing extra Charmin rolls beneath the sink for stacking them near the toilet instead because the little bums in my home go often. Charmin Ultra Soft toilet paper does the job in the softest way possible and is most definitely a essential product. Tutorial: forget the pretty stealth placement and go for what’s necessary!
Charmin, Charmin everywhere.
Life is Messy: Bounty Paper Towels
Life is messy, clean it up with a paper towel that will do the job correctly the first time. I have used other paper towel brands in the past but nothing soaks up liquid or sticky messes like Bounty. Tutorial: get a pretty paper towel holder and display your Bounty proudly (you know, next to the ever present dishes already on the counter at all times)!
I can never get the bottom of that pot clean!
Cleaner, Brighter, Fresh-Smelling Clothes: Tide Laundry Detergent
Save time and money by using a laundry detergent that’ll make your white’s whiter and your colors more vibrant. Kids are hard on their clothes and there isn’t a day that goes by that I’m not trying to get mud stains and grass stains out of the knees of their pants. I couldn’t imagine life without Tide Laundry Detergent quite frankly. Tutorial: attach a shelf above your washing machine for easy Tide grabbin!
Cover the bum: Pampers Baby Dry Diapers
Pampers Baby Dry Diapers wick away moisture and help prevent diaper rash without being confining or bulky and that makes my baby’s life a lot easier to play, bounce and run around in. I have created a little Pampers baby changing station in the living room that is tucked away from sight but it very, very handy. Tutorial: creating a baby changing station is easy, just slide your packaged Pampers in a tight spot and waahla!
