I could not live without…

iPhone

« My iPhone! You can do anything with it! Take beautiful pictures and videos of your kids on the spot and share them instantly by text message or email or even on Facebook and Twitter! Family and friends can now see all the little magical moments! »
- Cynthia

The iPhone was an extremely popular answer and our tech-savvy generation is indeed really fortunate to be able to benefit from these super practical smart phones!

A G.P.S.

« Without hesitation, my G.P.S.! Before, when I was driving, I had at least a 99% chance of getting lost on the way, it was actually pathetic! Thanks to my G.P.S. I now arrive mostly on time, without getting lost! »
- Sonia

I’m also completely dependent on my GPS. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t have the ability to make me get to places on time!

Babycakes

« Let me explain, it bakes perfectly round popcake balls! I LOOOOOOOVEEEE it and it’s purple too! »
- Ronnie27

Mini-cakes shaped like popsicles? Sold! If you suddenly have the irresistible urge to get one too, the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker is available at Babycakes for $ 24,99.

Flat iron

« My flat iron! Otherwise, my hair would be really ugly! »
- Nathalie

I have curly hair that tends to become super frizzy with humidity. I totally agree with Nathalie!

Dishwasher

« My dishwasher for sure! I LOVE my dishwasher. Just love it! »
- Maman3x

Let me reassure you, most women feel the same intense bond with their dishwasher!

TV and movies

« I would need my TV and some children movies so my kids can be entertained while I relax! »
- Caroline

It would indeed seem to be a must for today’s parents!

Your bed

« My bed…I make frequent trips to and from it day and night! »
- Françoise

What a great idea! I’m actually thinking a nap would be nice right about now, right? But, it seems like something is missing…

Pajamas

« My pajamas! »
- Julie

To go with the bed of course! We’re now ready for that nap! Shall we?

Contact lenses

« My contact lenses! Because seeing is…good! »
- Julie

That’s quite a valid argument! I would imagine avoiding bumping your toes might be just as compelling a reason!

Chocolate

«My iPod Touch and chocolate. And my glasses or I couldn’t do anything with the other two!»
- Anouk

Yes, I realize she talked about other things but my brain tends to focus on chocolate. Now you know what I can’t live without!

Money

« Money…so I can buy everything I couldn’t bring with me! »
- Melanie

Admit it; you just thought « Why didn’t I think of it first! »
