Products that make my life easier!

Having four kids can be loud, messy and chaotic. It’s important to have routine and items within your home that make life just a little easier. Our mornings can be busy, messy and chaotic, but let me share my must have items to make things roll on a little easier!

• Amazon assistant: Morning music & dance session? Check. Need the weather? Check. Out of milk and need to add to the shopping list? Check. Having a hands free “assistant” is so helpful in those busy mornings. While making breakfast, I can answer questions from the kids, check the calendar, set reminders for myself later in the day. The Amazon Echo is great for being small and discreet. The Echo show is another great option if you have the counter (or wall!) space The Amazon Amazon Echo Dot / Echo Show
  
  
  
• Backpack / shoe rack station: This is one of my favorite spots in our home. It gives our kids routine, and responsibility. It’s their drop zone, but there’s no questioning where their things are. I have a basket full of socks on one of the shelves so they don’t have to run back and forth to get socks before running out the house to catch the bus. There’s enough hooks for backpacks and jackets! This bench is sturdy, and the has two options for hooks. Use one, or both! Check prices on amazon for bench & hooks!
  
  
  
• Egg cooker: This is my favorite (and the kids favorite), cooking appliance! They love boiled eggs, and this makes it fool proof! No pot of boiling water to watch on the stove while all the other things going on. It rings super loud when it’s done, so it doesn’t matter if you’re in the kitchen or across the house. You’ll be able to hear it. Toss the eggs into some cold water and they peel perfectly! Great option: Egg cooker
  
  
  
  
• No-tech busy items: Anyone else’s kids wake up early and ready to get their day started, but you’re just not quite to jump on board with that? Need quiet time, but something to allow them to start their day? These hands on activities are a family favorite. Pixel Art / Wooden shape builder
