A Mom of Fours List of Baby Must Haves

Here are my 5 must haves for bringing home baby....

When I had my first baby over 11 years ago, I thought I needed every type of baby gear and gadget there was. And oddly enough, much of it was rarely used. Flash forward to now, I just had my fourth and final baby, and my list of must-haves drastically changed.

And I wanted it as cold as possible. I always wanted one with a straw, so I didn't have to unscrew a cap when my hands were full.
