Tell Mommy: Which Application Is on Your Wish List?

Need someone to keep track of all your holiday gifts?
by babysugar

Need someone to keep track of all your holiday gifts? There's an app for that. Where's the closest public restroom? There's also an app for that. Moms on the go are able to stay organized thanks to the latest and greatest technology.

The iPhone has become an indispensable object that can do most everything short of feeding hungry mouths and changing yucky nappies. Even then, it can lead the way to the closest public restroom with changing tables or kid friendly restaurants. While most everything has been created, some moms are wishing Santa would bring new applications to life this season. One mom hopes a park finder will be added to her iPhone, while another dreams of a preschool planner. What would be your dream application?

Which Memory Would You Choose to Keep?

There are days you'd love to remember and others you'd just as soon forget.

There are days you'd love to remember and others you'd just as soon forget. Jill Price doesn't have a choice. She remembers all the days of her childhood with crystal clear lucidity.

If you ask her what she was doing on September 14, 1982, she would tell you she went to school for her first day of the 12th grade and was devastated to find out that Princess Grace had died. According to professor James L. McGaugh, Jill has hyperthymestic syndrome, which means she has an overdeveloped memory. Some see it as a gift, others as a curse.

As a mom, I think the memory I covet most is the birth date of my child. How incredible to relive the moment of her first breath, her initial cry and my husband's and my pure joy as we cradled her. On the flip side, it would be torturous to replay the sleepless nights of exhaustion that we experienced as parents of a newborn.

What would you want to remember and what would you wish to forget?

My mommy friends and I discussed the things we took for granted before motherhood.

I would steal sleep back into my life if I could. One of my friends longs for the worry–free life she once had, while another just wants to read a book without interruption.

If I had a magic wand and could grant you one of the following for a day, what would it be?

Mom-Me Time: Wishful Thinking

So you've got a hamper full of dirty clothes and a laundry list of errands to run.

So you've got a hamper full of dirty clothes and a laundry list of errands to run. Remember those Calgon, take me away! commercials? In that same vein, let's do some wishful thinking. If you had one day (without your spouse or kids) to spend anyway you wanted, what would you do?

I haven't finished my itinerary yet, but it includes — sleeping in late, a trip to the spa, a very small purse, dry-clean-only clothes, uninterrupted conversation, and going wine tasting with my best friends.

What is your ideal day?
