Late last week, my husband opened the door of our toddler's bedroom to the dreaded smell of vomit in his crib. Aaahhhh, poor baby had acquired the dreaded stomach bug! Unfortunately, the typical 24 hour illness has been around my home for going on 72 hours now, but so far has claimed only one victim. In the past few days I've cleaned, disinfected and laundered more than I've ever wanted. Luckily, the stomach bug hasn't reared its ugly head in our home in over a year, but with immediate action required, there are a few items that have really come in handy over the past few days.

I'm one of those moms who seems to be able to do it all. I admittedly have a lot on my plate, and while it may seem ironic, I've only ever added more the longer I've been working.

“Mommy can I help?” These are the words I hear from my three-year-old almost daily. As preschoolers, they always want to help. But “help” is a loose interpretation isn’t it? When a little person tries to pour her own drink or help fold the clothes, help is the last thing it feels like. At best, it will take an eternity. At worst, it will make more mess and more work.
I admit that I have often been that mom who replies, “Not this time; let Mommy do it.” Especially when we are trying to get ourselves out the door. Waiting for a three-year-old to put on her own shoes at that moment is its own kind of torture. I know...
