Kiss Minimalism Goodbye
June 25, 2008
Looking at all the crap necessities I packed today, one would think I was going camping instead of a quick jog to the park.
Stuffed to the max
All you soon-to-be-moms-of-two, get ready:
- wipes
- diapers
- Kleenex
- burpcloth
- sun hat
- picnic blanket
- sunblock
- band-aids
- snacks for you
- snacks for the kids
- bottle
- formula
- toys
- camera
And yes. I said the F-word (formula). So much for being AP mama extraordinaire, but we started supplementing with formula a couple weeks ago, and believe you me, everyone is so much happier for it.

You forgot:
- Thomas trains
- dirty socks
- food wrappers
- dirty kleenix
This post made me smile. I’m always wondering how I can simplify but when you have kids the stuff seems to take over. (and I only have one) I guess one day we’ll be able to pack lightly but for now just enjoy these baby-gear-filled days, right? Happy summer!
with my son being so clumsy in the first few months of walking I always pack infant tylenol and motrin with me too -just incase! Good for you and the formula so many moms have a hard time resorting to it because they feel like they are “admitting defeat”, when all you’re “admitting to” is everyone and every child is different and we all have different needs -isn’t that the truth ???
