Broke-Ass Mom Must Haves

I’m smelling a slight stench coming from the direction of my armpits, and I suddenly realize that it’s not my son’s dirty diaper, or some food gone bad that might be lodged in our couch, it’s my sweatshirt.  I’ve worn it five days in a row now.  I can’t help it, though.  I know it’s embarrassing, and cliché for a SAHM to be wearing the same clothes over and over, but I am at least changing my underwear regularly.

All of this got me thinking.  If a Broke-Ass Mom was taking a trip on an airplane, and the airlines lost my luggage, what could I survive with for five days?  Below is my list of must-haves, what are yours?

1. Columbia pullover sweatshirt
2. Yoga pants
3. Smart Wool REI socks
4. Keen Sneakers
5. One rubberband for my hair
6. (A bottle of Vodka would be nice, but not a must have)

I haven’t included things like underwear, change of socks, bras, or a toothbrush, because quite honestly I could get by without these things for a few days and still survive.  But the above list of clothing, these are my go-go clothes that I have absolutely come to love in my SAHM days.
