Emergency Diaper Kit

This would make a fun and unique baby shower gift. In fact, I am know to give this to any member of my family-immediate and extended-who is having a baby.  I am sure you are wondering what it is right?  Well, when my oldest was a baby, I found myself running errands one day and she just happened to have a blow-out.  No biggie.  I took her out of her carseat and proceeded to change her in the car.  Well, I forgot to put more diapers in the diaper bag.  We happened to be in the parking lot of a store, so I gathered her and all her 'supplies' and went in and bought more diapers-even though I had a practically new package at home.  It was then that I came up with this:

EMERGENCY DIAPER KIT

I put one of these in my car and it helped a ton!!  Since you are wonering what I put in it, I will show you.

diapers, wipes, butt cream, changing pad, hand sanitizer, disposable bags (to throw soiled diaper away), and nursing pads.  I also added an extra onesie, and a toy.  Then, when I had my 2nd, I added a change of clothes for the first child.

tag reads: "Have you ever been out driving around when that inevitable happens: a diaper blowout?   Keep this in your car for those occasions and you won't get caught unprepared again.

This kit contains the following:  10 newborn diapers, wipes, rash cream, hand sanitizer, disposable bags, nursing pads, changing pad.

All you need to add is a onesie, a toy and anything else you need out on the road.  Just remember to switch out the diapers to bigger ones as you baby grows."

Finding Inspiration @ the Library

Once a week I take my son to the Library. While he was picking out his weekly movie (or three), I started browsing the picture books section. I was looking for something to read to him at night before going to bed. I found three books that has inspired me.


This is a cute story about a father and daughter trading places for the day. "If you were me and I were you," Daisy said, "I'd read you a story about three bears. Then I'd say goodnight and go downstairs!" This would be fun to ask your child what he/she would do if you traded places. Then ask them what you would do during that time.


This would be fun fun way to document the first day of school for your child. "At first I was so busy, I forgot about missing you for awhile. We all sat down and told each other our names." When your child gets home for the first day, have a few questions written down to ask them. Then, have them ask you a few questions about your day.


This would be a great layout to share your feelings when you found out you were pregnant, or each stage of the pregnancy. "When you were no bigger than my palm, the black-capped chickadee collected twigs and tufts of grass and even bits of string to build its nest." Even after 30+ years, I love to hear the story of the day I was born.
