So true! Thank God for Macrobid! I always bring some Uristat too just in case I forget to take the Macrobid.
Some other must haves:
1. Collapsible cooler. We buy a case of bottled water and keep them in the freezer. They keep other drinks cold (box juices) and feel great when it's really hot. Your drink stays cold even if you leave it in the stroller pouch while on a ride.
2. Toothbrush holder. I skeeve putting my toothbrush on the counter. We got these from Chick-Fil-A kids meals. My kids were so disappointed compared to Happy Meal toys, but I kept them and just pop it in the dishwasher when we get home. BTW, I always get dollar store toothbrushes to pack in advance so I don't have to worry about forgeting my regular one from the bathroom that day. They're so cheap, it's one less thing to repack to go home too.
3. Paper bathroom cups. I don't want to worry about kids sharing cups or worse, broken glass.
4. Mickey ponchos. We got stuck buying them in the park a few yrs. ago so I just pack them. It's only the times I forget to bring them that it rains!
5. KY. someone had to say it!
