Being a busy working mom is definitely a crazy juggling act. If you didn’t think there were enough hours in the day BEFORE kids, there definitely aren’t enough now that you’re working as a chef, chauffeur, teacher, coordinator and housekeeper on TOP of your the job that actually pays you. Fortunately, there are some amazing products out there that can help save you time, conquer chaos, and maybe even (*GASP*) carve out a few moments for yourself. Here’s your list of 10 Amazon Finds to help you win back your time and sanity!
Amazon Finds for When You’re On the Go
How fast does your entire back seat (or passenger seat) become a grave yard for straw wrappers, goldfish, old napkins or crumps? This waterproof (and leakproof) trashcan attaches to your center console and is an absolute life saver for keeping the inside of your car tidy.
I like to stick a plastic grocery bag inside mine to make it even easier toss it when full.
Turn your headrests into storage space with these heavy duty car hooks. These are great for hanging backpacks, purses, groceries, sweatshirts…you name it! No more digging in the backseat for your preschooler’s lunch box or having to pick up everything from your purse that tipped over on that last turn!
The perfect tumbler for your coffee to keep you going!
Amazon Finds for Life at Home
4 – Ninja 6-in-1 Indoor Grill with Air Fry, Bake, Broil & Dehydrate
This thing is SUCH an amazing time saver. You’ll be able to whip up everything from amazing salmon to dessert peaches in mere minutes.
BONUS: Make reheating pizza and fried chicken a breeze while leaving them as crispy as when you first ate them!
This is another kitchen essential that you need to grab if you don’t already have one. This is a lifesaver for busy weeknight meals, especially if you forgot to set the crockpot in the morning!
BONUS: Be sure to grab The Ultimate Instant Pot Cookbook for some amazing recipes! I especially love the Chicken Tikka Masala with Basmati Rice. It also has sections for breakfast, beans/grains/pastas, soups and chilis, vegetarian, seafood, poultry, pork/lamb/beef, vegetables and side dishes, drinks and desserts, plus pantry!
6 – Laundry Sorter with Clothes Rack and Shelf
Having a laundry basket with multiple sections saves SO much time when you’re ready to do a load. You can buy them with up to 4 sections, but I personally think 2 is perfect if you don’t wash by color. Plus my laundry room just isn’t large enough for more than 2). BONUS: it has a clothes rack for your hang-dry clothes, plus a shelf to use for anything from the laundry basket to extra laundry detergent.
7 – Expandable Dresser Drawer Dividers with Foam Ends
I love these expandable dresser drawer dividers! These guys fit easily based on the unique size of YOUR drawers and make it do what you need. I’ve used them for sorting drawers of t-shirts, diapers and wipes, and bras and undies.
Amazon Finds for the Planner and Learner
8 – So. Many. Planner Stickers.
I don’t care how old you are, stickers are amazing. They’re a great way to make something stand out in your planner, or reward yourself for a job well done. This book in particular has pages for vacation and travel, self-care, all sorts of relationships (besties vs. romantic), celebrations, money, work, coffee, meals…I could go on!
As a bonus, this company also has sticker books for busy parents to organize your family calendar, feeling stickers for every mood, and “little stickers for your big life.” I would personally get them all, but that’s just me!
9 – The 5 Second Rule: The Fastest Way to Change Your Life
I read this book for the first time years back and it was seriously a game changer. I’m now more likely to get up without hitting the snooze button, get my workout down and do those dishes that somehow keep appearing in the sink. It’s a short read, and implementing this rule will help you overcome procrastination and get things done.
10 – The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own
One of the fastest ways to save time? Don’t have so much stuff to deal with! And no – he’s not saying you need to get rid of everything BUT the essentials and live in a home with no color or feeling. This is another easy read that will help you make room in your life for what you really want.
BONUS TIP
Even when your life gets crazy and you’re short on both time and sanity, don’t forget to schedule in some “me time” for yourself. Even if it’s just 15 minutes a day. It makes a massive difference. Not to mention, you deserve it, Mama!
