It seems the only way you can keep track of your family and the multitude of things you must do in a day is with checklists.

In addition, checklists come in handy for those special occasions like new babies (there’s the hospital stay), setting up a nursery (there’s the new crib, bassinette, baby monitor and diapers) and babysitters (there’s important information to leave with the sitter like emergency numbers, first aid and where the toddler’s sippy cup is located).

It gets pretty hectic at times. So much so that sometimes you think you’re the one who needs a pacifier.
