They say it takes a village to raise a child…

As true as that is, parents don’t really get a village to help them on a daily basis. Best case scenario, Grandma or Grandpa come into town to help or you have a great babysitter next door. But when you are parenting on your own, it is nice to have reliable tools to give you an extra hand.
