When I first decided I wanted to write a post on items that simplify life with baby, I thought I’d be able to quickly put together a post, publish, and be done with it. But then I thought to myself that it would be a good idea to solicit input from a few friends just to make sure I had included all of the “must haves.” And to be perfectly honest, I guess I just assumed everyone would think just like me (ha ha) and come up with a similar list of items.
