5 Products & Services to Save You Time!
Really wish you could delegate your laundry to someone else? Well now you can! Check out the Hamper app. Select between their wash & fold, dry cleaning or laundry items services. Then, choose your convenient pick up & drop off time. If life feels particularly crazy right now, don’t feel bad about outsourcing laundry! A clingy baby is worth passing off laundry to someone else to do!
Shipt isn’t like any grocery pickup. You can choose from a variety of stores (not just grocery!) and create your shopping list on the app. Once your shopper arrives at the grocery store, they text you to ask if you forgot any items that you need to add. If you marked in the app that your shopper should check in with you for subs, then your shopper will text you and ask what you would like them to purchase instead, if an item you want is out of stock. This is a MUST for allergy free shopping!
BONUS: if your local Shipt offers Costco, you don’t need a Costco membership since your shopper will have their own.

Robotic Vacuum
If you haven’t jumped on the robotic vacuum train yet—you are missing out on one of the best time saving things for moms! After hours of research, our family settled on this vacuum and have used it constantly for a year with great results. Note that this one is not a “smart” vacuum so it will not map out certain rooms. By the same token, it also won’t “listen in” on your home! Click here to purchase this vacuum.
Another must have—an Instant Pot! These things are a game changer when it comes to “setting and forgetting.” It takes a bit of a learning curve to learn the cook times, but you can easily Google any recipe idea with the words “instant pot” and a recipe specifically designed for Instant Pot will come up. This is great for when you don’t have time to defrost meat or when you want to save on dishes. The 8qt is great for cooking in bulk!
Real Plans
Real Plans is a meal planning app designed to help you and your family consistently enjoy healthy, home cooked food. The app caters to food allergies/sensitivities and helps you save time, money and food waste!
