Hooray! New blog content starts today! I started Mama Monday’s last year and I’m reviving it in 2020. Every Monday I’ll be here sharing mama things!
Today I’m kicking it off with 14 organizational things that I love as a mom. I love that I’m a new mom in this age of technology and so many helpful things out there. Here are a few that have made my life so much easier and a few that are just plain genius.
Shipt
Shipt! Grocery delivery! Life saving! Not sure what my life would look without it…definitely more stressful!
2. Keepy
I love this app! It saves photos of art work and other mementos of your kids, but better yet organizes the and backs them up. It’s like a camera roll just for your kids special projects. You can also order prints and gifts.
3. Simplified planner
I’ve used Simplified for planners
for 5 years now. I love the layout and their partnership with At-A-Glance offers a planner for $17!
4. Facebook mom groups
This one might seem a little strange, but I love my FB mom groups! I obviously have real life friends and believe that most medical advice should obviously be saved for your doctor, but it’s so nice to have a large group of moms in similar seasons there for questions, advice, or just to vent.
5. Amazon prime & Amazon dash buttons
We all know and love Amazon Prime so that didn’t really need it’s own category. Amazon dash buttons however- do! When we are out of something all I need to do is hit the dash button. No logging in on my phone, just literally push the button for the item. Genius!
6. La la lunchbox
Such a neat little app to get kids involved in the lunch packing process!
7. Chatbooks
Chatbooks is such an easy and inexpensive way to create photo books. It’s linked with Instagram and you can just choose which IG photos from your feed to include.
8. Google docs
I use Google Docs all the time for work, but also for mom life too!
I use them for budgets, shopping lists, and important info of the kids. They are so easy to share and edit with Chris too.
9. Trello
This program is similar to Google Docs for me, but I well, it’s prettier-haha. I use Trello for all sorts of lists like wish lists for furniture, kids gift ideas, seasonal bucket list ideas, and so much more. Lists are shareable with multiple people too!
10. Home chef
Game-changer for us! Especially the oven ready meals! They are so easy to make and so delicious! Just takes what we’re having for dinner off of my shoulders.
11. Care zone
This is an app that organizes prescriptions, auto ships, and streamlines insurance processes. It’s basically a hub for all things medical related and it rocks.
12. Tiny scanner
This app turns your phone into a scanner! Save receipts and other documents as PDFs and securely send and save them.
13. Raise
A friend told me about Raise about 6 months ago and I literally don’t shop without it! It offers percentages off of store gift cards and has saved me a bunch of money!
14. Tile Mate
Tile helps you locate everyday essentials during your daily routine. No more looking for your keys or phone. Life saver!
