Free Diapers Are Available This Month For Nevada Families

Baby's Bounty is the only consistent resource for free diapers in Nevada. And throughout the month of October the organization will be hosting diaper banks across the state. During the month there will be several locations where families can get supplies. Including a week's worth of free diapers and wipes for up to three children.

Baby's Bounty began in 2008 by Kim Amato, who was inspired after seeing the impact on families that homelessness had. Through her investigating this further, Amato discovered something she found unacceptable. That families in Nevada were often being discharged after a birth without proper supplies. Including diapers, clothes, cribs, even a car seat.

Today, Baby's Bounty's mission is to empower and support at-risk families in need. They do this by providing these resources as well as education for families. Including Safe Sleep and Baby Basics classes. They are home to programs like Diapers for Diplomas, which gives parents in college the opportunity to win free diapering supplies for a year. Baby's Bounty also provides Baby Bundles to the community. They include a portable crib, car seat, a bathtub, towels, receiving blanket and more.

Kids are headed back to school and here are a few mistakes parents make getting kids ready for school! Nothing serious, but everyone's routine changes at this time and The Mike & Carla Morning Show thought we should pass these along.

According to a recent article published by SWNS Digital, these are simple mistakes made by parents as they get their kids ready for that first day. Especially if the family has more than one kid heading out the door. For example, getting the backpacks mixed up. As we said, these are not huge mistakes, but they happen. Getting backpacks mixed up and the kids heading out the door with the wrong one is very possible.

There's a lot going on in the morning, getting out of bed, getting dressed, eating breakfast...mistakes are bound to happen. Another common mistake that happens is forgetting to pack the needed school materials needed for that day. Hey, you know mom and dad have a lot going on as well!

In fact, when it comes to a little "me" time, parents only get on average about one hour and sixteen minutes. Teachers, on the other hand, a few minutes less, but it's always at the end of the day. According to the article, the average parent will be waking up at about 6:10am. Just enough time to make breakfast, lunches and then get themselves ready for work!

All in all, it's quite the routine changer when school starts. And if you have to drive your kids to school, that's a whole different topic! Getting used to that routine, especially if the kids are starting at a new school...drink a lot of coffee!

But what are the Top 5 mistakes parents will make come the start of school? We're sure there are a few moms and dads that have their own list, but officially, scroll down to see what the Top 5 really are...and enjoy!

Okay, so at least they have a lunch, but #5 on the list of mistakes is packing the wrong lunch. It's very disappointing when all you do is look forward to lunch time, open your lunch pale and it's WRONG!!!! C'mon mom and dad...pay attention! LOL!

Hey, school is going to be hard enough without dressing like a nerd! Listed at #4 as a mistake parents will make is laying out that mismatching outfit for school. It's early in the morning, but be sensible right? Good Luck!

They do say that breakfast is thee most important meal of the day. However, with that said, it's #3 on the list when parents forget to make breakfast for the kids before school!

It's gonna happen. The alarm isn't set, you didn't get enough sleep or you just don't want to get up. On the list of mistakes, at #2 is over sleeping! This will put you behind for the whole day...so make sure to set the alarm!

Well, if you have one or more kids, it's bound to happen. You'll forget at least one of them. It's #1 on the list of mistakes parents will make getting their kids ready for school. Well, you still have the weekend to get it together, so come Monday, good luck!
