Something that I have found to be invaluable is my "Mommy Box" as I have named it. I got this cute basket from my mother in law. It holds everything that I might need without having to go to another room.
What kind of stuff is in my Mommy Box you ask? Wipes, diapers, cream, burp rags, chapstick, spare baby clothes, nail clippers/file, something to read, craftiness I might be working on, my laptop and even a non-messy snack to apease a cranky toddler.
I love this because lets face it when you are going on little sleep the last thing you want to do is search for that essential thing. I restock it every other day or so. This box has saved me from an insane amount of frustration. My bigger kids all know about my Mommy Box and can bring it (or something from it) to me if necessary. Really great for those nursing marathons when you feel like you aren't moving from one spot! It's also great knowing where wipes are at all times for those messy fingers.
I call this my Mommy Box (as opossed to my baby box) because someday I won't have any little babies and I can re-cover it and just put all of my stuff in it (hmm another craft for me to do). Because no big kid wants a box that says baby on it!
