TOP 10: Toddler Essentials for the week.

To survive the week I must have all these things handy:

Shoes:

I always have at least 2 different pairs of shoes handy,

during the school periods - especially with our little girl

because she always manages to lose one pair 

somewhere within the house. So I always have to check 

before I go to sleep that there is at least one pair visible.

Art Supplies:

Isis, loves to draw and paint. So this is very useful

during the week to have as a distraction when 

I want to make dinner or watch one of my shows during 

the night.

Puzzles:

I find with Isis, she really loves to fix and challenge herself

with doing puzzles, she enjoys putting them together

and loves the praise she gets when she completes them.

Socks:

Having socks is important, especially during the 

winter, I like her to go to pre-school warm, so

I always make sure we have at least 5 pairs to last the week.

Nappy Bags:

These are essential to have for those No.2 moments,

very useful when traveling away from home, I always buy the 200pk

which lasts more then 2+ months. Very Useful.

Fruits/Veges:

Our girl is a fruit addict, she loves a variety of fruits mostly oranges

and banana's. We have a apple and pear tree so that is very

handy to have when fruits are dear sometimes. Carrots are one 

of the favourite veges we have to have as a lunchbox snack

she LOVES carrots.

Nappies:

Although we are trying to get her to Potty train, I always have to 

have 2 packs of Nappy Pants during the week. 

Wipes:

We don't really need 4 wipes for the week, but when there

is a bargain I love to buy more. Sometimes I go crazy and buy 9

packs - but it does become useful for the month so no

complaints here.

Full Cupboard:

Now that Isis is at Pre-School we have to always stack the 

cupboard for the week for her lunch and random snacks for 

when her Aunty Mua comes because she eats everything

in the house when she comes in the weekend. Ha! 

There are basic things I buy: Biscuits, Raisins etc..

but I always like to buy random things to see if Isis likes them.

Medical Supplies:

Paracetamol and Thermometer should always be

visible everyday for those unexpected fevers and illnesses.

I always make sure that they are not expired and placed 

somewhere Isis won't reach them. 

Just some of those responsibilities and changes that

come with being a mother, always learning and getting use to

a daily routine especially with a growing toddler.

These are just some of the things that help me survive the week.

As most mothers already know it becomes 2nd nature when it 

comes to baby essentials so for those new mothers this is just 

some of the things I found useful with my 2+ year old.

With Love,
