Essential Items for Every Mom? 10 Things That Are Important

If I can go out without me holding a purse which is almost 10 pounds would be nice for me as a mom. But I can’t do that because I have kids, and there are some laws which are unwritten that specifies when you become a mother, you will have to be responsible to carry things the kids might need whenever you going out.

I got to learn about this in a hard way. I went out with my kid without holding supplies except for the pacifier. The trip was a short one to the store where they sell groceries and I was certain she wouldn’t need anything. Like 15 minutes in, she had a blowout on her diapers which I need to change but alas I wasn’t with anyone.
