Friday Faves – January 9, Best Tools For Moms

January 9, 2015 //  by Courtney

Friday Faves with Bar - Jan 9

 

I am a fan of ANYTHING that makes our jobs easier. Today’s Friday Faves is focusing on some the best products and companies that do just that! I’d LOVE for you to share some of yours. Do you have a favorite planner or product that you use daily that makes your job easier? Share below!

 

1. The Daily Mom

DM_logo-1I love this app. It takes the top news in many categories and puts it right on your phone. Imagine havin an assistant that surfs the net and gives you just what you need. That’s the point. AND! There is a joke section that is hilarious and so much fun. Great for school lunches.

Good news – it is FREE now! Download The Daily Mom right here. Enjoy spinning that wheel. My favorite part.

 

2. The Sitter Tree (for ATLANTA moms)

tst-logowtagline

Do you remember The Babysitter’s Club books?  One phone call and a sweet sitter with previous experience is assigned?  Atlanta moms, there is a real babysitter’s club in town!  The Sitter Tree is organized by local coordinators who personally recruit, interview and select a community of sitters.  Families purchase credits from The Sitter Tree to use the service, and then directly pay the sitters a set hourly rate.  You can request a sitter at any time- and even save your preferred sitters for future jobs.  Sitters and families may only join by referral so that the community remains close.  I just happen to know Atlanta Coordinator, Caroline McClure. She’s my sister-in-law and just fantastic.

As a wife and mother, Caroline knows the importance of having sitters who love your kiddos.  She has a HUGE offer for those Atlanta moms!

ONE FREE CREDIT!

Use her referral code CAROLINE42 and receive the free credit by using promo code “LilLight”.

Connect  with The Sitter Tree – Where families find sitters, not search for them.

 

3. Yumbox

The girls got these yumboxes for Christmas and I’m super excited to use them – when our lovely flu passes. Longest.Christmas.Break.Ever. 🙂 I got the 100 Days of Real Food book and have been using her website to get great ideas for school lunches. Here’s to healthy eating in 2015! We also got baking cups to hold smaller portions if needed.

3. If Equip

Equip2
Does it help you to have people talk through the Bible? It helps me so much. I love getting a daily dose of God’s word through If Equip but the videos are my favorite. They always feature different women that I respect. And hearing their perspective and discussion on that particular passage stretches me and encourages me. It’s free and easy. They don’t tell me what to think, they help me think and process.
Check it out!

 

 

How about your favorites?

Is there an app. product, company or tool that helps make your job easier?

Greetings from Texas! I’m not an expert. I’m your friend. I love when faith comes to life in families. That’s what I’m doing most days of the week. Or, apologizing to my kids for the mess ups. Come in and get comfy. Start here.
