• Pack several supermarket plastic bags in junior's diaper and use them to dispose of those dirty ones
• When giving a bath, if both are not available, try to alternate.
• Never, Disagree, yell or show any disagreement in front of the baby (regardless of age), go to a separate room (lower your voice so they don't hear you)
• If you find yourself changing bed sheets in the middle of the night for your almost "potty trained" darling, try making the bed with two sets of sheets with a rubber-backed flannel pad in between. This middle-of the the-night chore will be much easier if you have to strip off only the top set of sheets
• Make plans with a friend to trade baby-setting for an evening or even overnight. Be intentional about building your relationship with each other.
• Write your grocery list on the front of an envelop, then keep the coupons for that list in the envelope
• Don't forget to play with your children. Introduce them to blowing soap bubbles and making silly faces. Let your children know that you love them and enjoy being with them
