10 Things Every Parent Should Have on Hand  

Posted by Joy

If you are a parent, you'll find that life will go a bit better if you have certain things on hand all the time. Here is your list of things you must have if you have kids in the house.

#1 - Disinfectant Wipes - These wipes, such as Chlorox or Lysol wipes make life so much easier. They work on just about any surface, they wipe up all manner of messes, and they kill germs. This is a must in your home if you have kids.


#2 - Plenty of TP - Toilet paper. You need plenty of it. With kids, toilet paper tends to go fast. Stock up.


#3 - Eggs, Milk, Bread, and Butter - You can make many different things with these four ingredients. Keep them on hand all the time.


#4 - Ice - Ice is great for making milkshakes, smoothies, and cold drinks. It will help keep your kids happy. Either buy a bag of ice or keep the ice trays full.


#5 - Anti Bacterial Hand Gel - This is great for when you are out and about. Always carry it with you. You never know what kids are going to get into.


#6 - Paper Towels - Messes happen in a house with kids. Go with a good brand. If the paper towels are cheap, they won't soak anything up. Buy in bulk - you'll really use them all.


#7 - Soap Scrubbers - Want to make bath time fast and easy without making a big mess? Get soap scrubbers. They are made by Johnson's and great for kids.


#8 - Children's Tylenol - Have Children's Tylenol or a similar product on hand at all times. It's great for bringing down a fever. The best option is Multi Symptom Cold. This has a fever reducer, antihistamine, and decongestant in it. It knocks fevers and colds fast.


#9 - Emergency Numbers - You never know when something bad will happen. It's not being negative to think about it - it's only practical. Have important emergency numbers, such as poison control, your child's doctor, and more on hand. This way if something happens, you are prepared for it.


#10 - A Great Digital Camera - Kids grow up so fast. You should be taking pictures all the time. You don't want to forget these years. They'll be all grown up before you know it. So, take time to snap pictures on a regular basis.
