Mama Must Haves for Life with Boys

Published on 30 December 2025 at 20:49

Life with boys is loud, chaotic, and dare I say...amazing too! As a four time boy mom, I've learned a lot about boy mom life! Here's my list of must haves for boy moms. 

Active skin

This stuff is amazing! Boys are rough and tumble. There are scraped knees, bug bites, and cuts you don't even know where they came from. I had a bug bite that was itching so bad it burned. I sprayed this on it and within a few minutes it no longer itched and a couple hours later the bite was so small. Really EVERYONE needs this. 

Noise Reducing Earplugs 

Boys are loud! Or at least mine are. And the reality is, they are just having fun and getting excited about things. This used to set me off until I realized it wasn't their actions that were triggering me as much as it was the noise. With these earplugs, I can still hear everything but it just doesn't feel so overwhelming loud. 

Urine Remover

IYKYK. All I'll say for this one mama. 

Miss Mouth Stain Remover

You are seeing this everywhere because it really works! Those grass stains? Gone. Berry stains? Gone. Mud your boys just couldn't resist? Gone. It's definitely a must. Pro tip: Don't forget to wet the stain before you spray. It really makes a difference.

First Aid Kit

I have this on me at all times. One at home and another in the car. You just never know when you'll need it. And as us mamas know, a band aid makes booboos feel better. 

Reusable Ice Packs

Because life with boys is full of bruises.

Extra socks and underwear stash

I truly don't know where they go.

Magic Erasers

For all the marks on your walls from car races and "hey look mom, this sticks to the wall!" oil stains.

Happy Wax Warmer

To try to hide that faint "boy" smell that seems to linger in the house. You can feel good about this one because it doesn't have all those chemicals found in regular candles. 

You can have all the stain remover and first aid kits in the world, but at the end of the day, being a boy mom just means accepting that your house will always sound like a WWE match and smell faintly of outside.
