Maybe this is the year we perfect absolutely everything!…or maybe just find products to make life easier in simple ways. We’ll take that
We know parenting is a lot. We’re parents, too, so trust us; we get it. Some days it feels like we’ll never fully get our arms around everything. And, in January, we’re also feeling the pressure of “resolutions”, of making big changes, of doing better. This year, though, we’re taking that kind of stress out of our lives. Our first order of business is to make sure that we’re taking care of our own mental health so we can keep on taking care of those around us. You know, #momstyle. And in order to do that, we’re on the hunt for products to help us. Basically, products to make life easier.
To keep things rolling along as help-us-outfully as possible, we’ve searched high and low for stuff to do exactly that. Whether it’s cooking, getting ready in the morning, organizing, cleaning, traveling, working, or even playing, these are items we can’t wait to start using. They’re the “why didn’t I think of that?” products that just make life so much easier. So go ahead. Improve your laundry life, your coffee game, and even your relaxation routine.
Wad-Free Bedsheet Detangler
We're pretty much done fighting to detangle sheets right out of the dryer. How are we supposed to have any motivation to fold them after that?? These detanglers also help those bedsheets to come out with fewer wrinkles, cleaner, and dry up to 75% faster!
Whether you're trying to get comfortable when you're pregnant or just need some extra support at night, the Boppy Full Body Side Sleeper Pillow is a must-have. Multiple positioning allows you to use your own pillow if you prefer, and it's designed to easily maneuver so you can get in and out of bed without a struggle. After one night, you'll wonder how you ever slept without it!
We're not sure when supplements got to be the size of a mid-size chicken egg but here we are. This pill organizer is big enough to fit those giant supplements, has a push-through design that makes loading your meds easily, and has detachable compartments if you want to throw a day or two into a bag or weekend tote.
All you have to do is stamp this bleach-free gel onto your toilet bowl and know toilet rings and funky odors are taken care of for 2 weeks (per application)!
Our shopping editors swear by SNOW Teeth Whitening products, so recommending The Magic Strips is easy for us. Know what else is easy? The fact that these super effective strips work in 15 minutes and are self-dissolving, so you won't have to peel them off. They're also individually wrapped and extremely affordable!
Belt bags are having a moment, so we're obsessed with the adorable and easy arcade bag from shortyLOVE! Everything you need is right at your fingertips and completely hands-free.
It's called a vacuum, but it's basically an electric dustpan. The infrared sensors recognize a sweeping motion and automatically activate to suck up all the debris your broom collects.
This gel was designed to keep breakables from crashing and breaking during an earthquake, but let's face it: the kids running past a bookshelf or the cat walking on the dresser can be just as damaging. Museum Gel anchors decorative items, trickets, picture frames, whatever, to the surface you put them on for some extra protection. (7,300+ Amazon customers are fans!)
If you're a stickler for great coffee but also don't want to make a huge mess doing it, the SimpliPress is your new BFF! Customizable and grit-free, the SimpliPress is also really easy to clean.
The RFID blocking front pocket wallet holds 1-12 cards without stretching out, and the design allows them to fan out when you need to use one without losing them all!
Built-in bras that actually support? YES PLEASE! JJwinks created a line of sleep-to-streetwear pieces that include their "light hug" bust support thanks to the built-in bra. Comfy, convenient, easy to mix-and-match. We'd say that makes life much easier!
Make 2023 the year you don't wake up sweating! This system actually regulates the surface of your existing mattress to keep you cool all night. And don't worry about disturbing your partner; each side of your bed can be set to your maximum comfort!
Of course there's nothing quite like a calendar to keep you organized, but this one from Volcanics has 34.6K Amazon reviews rating this specific one 4.8 out of 5 stars! There's gotta be a reason, right?
We know we can't be the only ones who absolutely can't keep track of all the many passwords we have, right? With alphabetical tabs and space for up to 400 websites, you'll have everything you need in one place. And with an untitled cover and magnetic closure, no one else will be able to tell what kind of info you're storing!
