Every mom at some point in her parenting journey may have asked themselves, “I need items to make my life easier!” and they wouldn’t be alone in that thought.
Many moms always want tips and tricks to make life easier and run a bit more smoothly.
Whether that is newborn hacks or activities to burn kids energy, every mom needs some new tricks up their sleeves.
Mom hacks come in all shapes and sizes but there are some must-have items to help make life easier for you!
These would also make great gifts too if you’re ever in need for a useful gift for moms.
Cordless Vacuum
A cordless vacuum has been a lifesaver in my house. This Dyson cordless vacuum is easy, lightweight, and perfect for quick crumb pick ups without having to drag out a huge vacuum.
Monthly Diaper Subscription
This Incredibundle subscription is perfect for moms of babies or toddlers still in diapers or pull-ups.
You choose a monthly plan and whichever brand diaper you prefer and they will deliver straight to their door.
Perfect gift to make moms life easier.
Quick Makeup
Just because you are a mom doesn’t mean you cant have a quick makeup routine and look great.
One of my favorite new makeup hacks to make makeup apply smoother and even “blur” and prime your face with this all in one Tula smoothing and blurring primer.
It matches your skin tone so it is a one size fits all product that helps smooth out and blur imperfections on your skin. It makes applying foundation or tinted moisturizer a breeze! This has helped shorten my makeup routine.
Another hack that has brightened my under eyes which makes my makeup routine even quicker is the Tula brightening under eye stick! This little stick gives so much brightness and hydration to your under eye! Makes it almost unneeded to use concealer!
Perfecting a quick makeup routine with great multi use products will help make your life easier.
Kid Entertainment Boxes
Getting something delivered monthly straight to your door is a handy thing. Especially when that item is something to keep your kids entertained!
These CrateJoy subscription boxes have so many options to choose from to help keep your little one entertained and busy so you can get things done.
This is a handy hack to make life easier.
Amazon Echo
Everyone knows Alexa. She’s become a household name and for that reason, her capabilities have made life easier.
You may ask how Alexa makes my life easier, but with the ability to set timers and play songs with just asking has been nice for family dance parties and cooking.
Another reason I love the Echo Dot is because in my kids room I have one set up in there along with smart lighting which makes it easier for my kids to ask Alexa to turn on and off the lights themselves.
This stops them from coming and asking me every hour to turn their lights on and off every time they leave the room.
They can now ask themselves.
She also will play white noise all night long so they can sleep with noise and not get woken up by neighbors or noise in the house. They sleep much better now!
I also have an Echo Show 5 in my bedroom which I have connected to my Ring indoor camera which I use as a baby monitor for the kids room.
My other Echo Show 8 is in the kitchen which is helpful to watch recipes and see who is at my front door with the Ring doorbell.
Instant Pot
This is probably my most used must have item to make my life easier.
I use this Instant Pot every day to quickly make meals for my family.
This pressure cooker is fast and can cook a full blown meal including raw meat in minutes! Its very handy for last minute meals and quick and easy dinners to make life easier.
Cold Brew Coffee
Now, full disclosure I am an iced coffee person. I cannot drink hot coffee. So this actually works out being a mom.
But what has made my life easier is buying cold brew coffee in containers, so this way in the morning I just pour myself a cup and I’m on with my day. No waiting for coffee to brew or reheating coffee multiple times a day.
Personally I love the Stok cold brew coffee brand!
If you aren’t a cold brew fan, then I suggest this gadget to make fresh brewed coffee, iced in seconds!
Hopefully these items have been helpful to give you ideas to make your life easier! Now you wont have to ask yourself what will make my life easier.
