by Bethany Braun-Silva

DeAnna Pappas Stagliano is best known for being a finalist on Season 11 of ABC’s The Bachelor, which led to her becoming The Bachelorette in Season 4 of the spinoff. She recently launched the web show, Moms In Cars with fellow Hollywood mom Christine Lakin, and even filmed an EXCLUSIVE episode for Parenting! Deanna is mom to Addison Marie, 5 and Austin Michael, 3 and she shared with us some of her must-have products for tackling anything the day (or her kids) throws at her. At the top of her list is, “a good babysitter,” she says. After all, “Summer is long people and mama needs a break too!” We couldn’t agree more!
VitaCup Coffee
“Coffee gets me going. I need it to survive. VitaCup offers several different ones with special perks! My favorite is the Probiotic Blend. I’m a bit of a coffee snob & I love it!”
Goldfish Crackers
“I take them everywhere for quick snacks on the go and to the pool! My kids are great eaters so I don’t mind that they choose this snack on busy days.”
Hello Bello Organic Bug Spray
“I love the Hello Bello line. It’s found at Walmart and is affordable! I’ve even switched to their diapers!”
Baby Bum Sunscreen
“I don’t know how you survive summer without it. I love that it’s hypoallergenic and made with all natural ingredients!”

Mabel’s Labels
“I have used these labels for years! I put them on everything: cups, snack bowls, lunch boxes, clothes, shoes...you name it, it’s labeled! No losing the Stagliano’s stuff!”
The Sash Bag
“I love this cross body bag. It keeps me organized and hands free while I’m chasing my kids...most likely through a grocery store like a crazy person!”
Tight Lip’d Lip Gloss
“Lip gloss on the go and then you toss it. Genius. Addison is always losing my tubes of lip gloss so I keep these disposable ones stashed everywhere...kitchen drawers, my car, gym bag, etc!”
Diono Radian Car Seat
“We live in the car during the summer taking trips, going to the zoo, the beach, and to visit friends! Both of my kids are in the Radian. It’s slim so it leaves a seat in between the car seats and it has a steel frame. The safety has given me the peace of mind I need.”
