I would absolutely have a nervous breakdown without Peapod, the wonderful grocery delivery service. Not only do I NOT have to take a minimum of two kids to the store with me, but then someone else schleps all the groceries into the house for me, and all I have to do is check it in and put it away. Tthe kids then actually enjoy pulling all the stuff out of the bags to see what we got.

It is totally a lifesaver, and worth the $7 they charge for delivery, though there are ways to save or get free delivery on almost every trip. I recommend it to anyone who can’t find the time to shop without their kids.

WADDA JUICE is the ultimate time saver for busy mom’s. These pre-filled, 8 ounce, spill-proof sport bottles (really a sippy cup wanna be) are a mom’s dream come true. Ready to serve with half water, half juice and there are no added sweeteners, sugars or preservatives and absolutely nothing artificial.

With half the sugar, calories and carbohydrates of 100% juice, WADDA JUICE makes serving a healthy drink effortless. Just peel back the foil seals and your child is good to go. Say good bye to filling cups, finding lids and scrambling to get out the door. My kids have road tested (literally) these bottles and they are truly spill proof. No fuss, no muss.

When you find a new way to save time and give your kids a healthy serving of juice, you want to shout it out. Can you hear me shouting?

I struggle to hang many clothes up, for fear they will end up with the bumps in the shoulders. I’ve tried many different types of hangers and most still pull on the area enough to leave an indent of some kind. Organized.Com offers the Bump Be Gone line of attractive hangers, in various colors that will actually mold to any shape you need. Whether it be for a heavy sweater or a thin blouse, these hangers will accommodate your clothing.

The soft foam material will allow you to air dry your clothing and the rounded tips are designed not to leave any unwanted marks. They also fold in half when traveling and are available in sets of 4 for $11.99. In my opinion, every closet and laundry room needs a set of these.
