Haven't you ALWAYS wondered what's in my night stand? I know! That's why I'm ever so generously giving you a tour.
Baby saline nose drops (the best item to have for little noses during big colds)
Lavender scented baby lotion. I love lavender. One "natural" remedy I totally believe in (relaxes).
Aveeno baby diaper cream. On Ella's booty every night...and usually during the day. Very thick and creamy, doesn't budge, and super moisturizing.
My book light. Like the one Oprah had on her favorite things that shoots light across the page. (It lies (lays?) over the page)
What to Expect: the Toddler Years. The best comprehensive, general info book on babies and toddlers. Answers every question every month...and yes, I'm up to date and am still reading it monthly. And no, I don't know all the answers since I'm a PNP. We didn't learn MUCH parenting.
"Hearos." Ear plugs with the highest decibel rating I could find. Just in case. (These are always with me when I travel...and I almost always use them when I travel.)
My super cute rainbow pill bottle. I take (currently) 2400 IUs of Vit D / day (yes, higher than what they tell you...but not too high, trust me), Omega 3-6-9s, and a multivitamin every day.
I get my prescriptions at Target. Because they have these awesome color bands that go around your prescriptions and you get to pick out your color when you sign up. But really. I just think the bottles are cute. No. Really. I go there because I'm always at Target, so why not get my medicine there too? Plus, they have lots of flavors for the kiddos' meds and a neat, easy method of helping you give the kids' meds...where the syringe sticks in the top, you turn over the bottle and simply pull out your desired amount....anyway, I go to Target a lot.
My favorite brush for fluffing up the princess' hair...can you tell the bath is right next to my night stand?
A perfect little pouch for my rings.
Pens. Plus a pen light. For bedtime "my throat hurts" and what's that in my tooth? and "whats that in Ella's mouth" issues.
These thing a ma doodles are for wedging onto your door so little fingers don't get smashed. They are kept in my night stand, which makes them useless thing a ma doddles.
Head phones. Because sometimes Kevin doesn't care to hear my podcast about the differential diagnosis of respiratory distress in the newborn.
bulb suction. for boogies. to prevent respiratory distress in the...toddler.
A ton of rainbow colored hair elastics. The most delightful little bands that hold silky princess hair in place, but somehow do not pull that hair when removed. How satisfying.
Because ever since I got pregnant I'm scared to part with them....
iPhone dock. Because it won't fit on it with my cover on...disappointment..I love this little dock. Turns my iPhone into a super device when its sitting upright on my night stand.
DVD remote. Because we watch baby Einstein every night. (one in each of our 6 disc changers). and at times, I don't want to walk over to the tv to navigate the movie.
BONUS: But what's on TOP of my night stand you ask?
Thread, the book Wicked. Yes, book club. I'm just now finishing October's book. Baby monitor (green light ON! Woo Hoo. That means no crying currently.) AND a bunch of papers instructing me on several different craft projects in my near future.
Didn't think ya cared, did ya?
But look who's here at the end of the journey into my drawer!
