I’m sharing my Top 8 Useful Home Gadgets I use around my house that make daily life as a busy mom easier!

Being a busy mom of a toddler, having my days go smoothly is so important to me! I love finding new products and useful home gadgets that make life easier. All of the products I mention below on my list are all ones I love and use myself! These products for the home making cleaning, organizing, and completing tasks fast and more efficient- so I can spend more time with my family!

1. Automatic Soap Dispenser // One of my favorite products in my kitchen is the automatic soap dispenser! I use it all day long and it comes in handy so much! Our family doesn’t have to touch the soap and it’s more sanitary- which means the less spreading of germs. I simply place my hand under the nozzle, and it dispenses the perfect amount of soap every time! It is rechargeable and comes in several beautiful finishes- ours is the Rose Gold. It also can dispense a small amount when you put your hand up close to the spout or a larger amount when you place your hand lower- such a cool smart feature! The soap doesn’t drip, is easy to refill, and won’t get clogged! I also love the sleek design and is a great little addition to our kitchen.

2. Voice Activated Trash Can // Life with a toddler is messy! That’s why I chose the Simplehuman Voice Activated trash can for our kitchen. It is voice controlled to open up or motion controlled. So if your hands are full, this helps out a ton! You simply say “Open Can!” and it opens the lid automatically! I LOVE is the Rose Gold color and it looks so sleek in any space in your home.  Since I’m kind of a germ-phobe, this next feature is so cool to me. The top of the trash can lid is infused with nano-silver particles that prevent microbes from reproducing. So it keeps it always sanitary! If you have your hands full or carrying around a baby, this is a lifesaver!

3. Wide-Pro Sensor Makeup Mirror // I use this mirror on my vanity every morning when I get do my makeup! I love how I can see everything from different angles. Also, it simulates natural sunlight allowing you see how your makeup will look outside. So my makeup color and application is always perfect! There is a sensor light that turns on when your face approaches the mirror, and then turns off after you walk away. It is rechargeable and cordless- and the charge can last up to 5 weeks! I also love the 1x magnification mirror that magnetically attaches to the larger mirror. I love it to do my eye makeup and tweezing!

4. Shower Caddy // This Simplehuman shower caddy has been such a great product to keep our shower organized. It has adjustable shelving, so you can slide them up, down or sideways to make room for wider or taller bottles! It is solid, amazing quality and is rust-proof because of the materials it is made out of. It stays very secure also! I love how it looks great in our shower and makes it look clean and organized!

4. Standing Steamer // I had been looking for a stand-up steamer for a while and finally found one I love! The Rowenta standing steamer is such a great product to have for your wardrobe. I use it for Alex’s work shirts, my outfits and Kennedy’s clothes as well. I just easily hang the clothing item to the steamer and it gets all the wrinkles out right away. I love how easy it is to use and it heats up in 45 seconds. This has been such a game changer in our house, and we can’t leave the house anymore without using it!

5. Echo Plus with Alexa // We got the Echo plus last year for Christmas and have used it everyday since! It does SO many things for us! You can ask Alexa to play music, make phone calls, set timers, ask her questions, check the weather, news, traffic, etc. Alexa even can control your TV by saying what you want to watch from across the room, request an Uber, order pizza and so much more!

6. Roomba // This little vacuum cleans your floors without you having to do it manually! It cleans up dirt, pet hair, and any snacks your baby might have thrown off it’s high chair. You can set the cleaning schedule and when you want your Roomba to run. For example, when you are out of the house, it will do all the cleaning for you! It senses furniture and edges perfectly, and easily can move from carpet to hard flooring. You can have perfectly vacuumed floors everyday without doing all the hard work yourself. Keep your carpet, rugs and hard wood floors clean everyday with the Roomba. It will look like the maids came every time you come home!For a busy mom, this time-saver is worth every penny!

7. Instant Pot // Be ready to have your life changed and also to throw away that crock-pot! The Instant Post cooks times SO much faster than the crock-pot and the flavors are much better! It is basically 7 kitchen appliance in one- a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, soup maker, saute, yogurt maker, and it keeps food warm! I love making dinners in my Instant Pot and it saves me SO much time. I love cooking chicken, soups, steaming vegetables and rice, and you can even bake potatoes perfectly in 12 minutes! The possibilities are endless. This would make a perfect gift this Holiday season!
