My friend Sarah was in town recently and as we played with Dylan and her niece Lilli, we started coming up with different things that parents need or can't live without. Something I like to call "Momventions." We started our list and just recently my friend and
fellow blogger, April, started coming up with a few ideas as well. She brought up that every time she tries to sneak out of her bed while her son, Jackson is sleeping, he wakes up! She said we need to invent something to hoist us out of bed without waking our little ones. She got me wondering what crazy contraptions had been invented to help out parents. I found some doozies that will make you either laugh, cringe, or say "I could really use that!"
