I am a working mother with two young children: one is 8 months old, and the other is 3 years old. My husband also works full-time, and we don’t have family nearby to help. Some days, it feels like a major accomplishment just to feed, clothe, bathe, and take care of both kids and myself while also meeting work deadlines. Before my second child was born, I worried about how I would handle life with more than one child. Now that I’m in it, I’m still amazed at how it all comes together.
Our mornings are usually busy, with me multitasking to get everything done. My daughter is playing pretend in one room while my son is happily playing with his toys. It’s not exactly peaceful, but we make it work. Sometimes, I just need an extra hand, and that’s where smart devices come in.
Smart home devices are becoming more common, with the market expected to grow significantly in the coming years. I use technology to help manage our household tasks efficiently. Here are some tech products that have been a game-changer for me:
– Skylight: This device helps my husband and I stay organized with synced calendars, a shared grocery list, and a digital photo album. It’s a great way to keep everyone on the same page.
– Baby Brezza: This device helps me quickly prepare bottles for my son, saving me time in the morning rush.
– Snoo: This automated bassinet has been a lifesaver in helping my children sleep better, giving me some much-needed rest.
– Pampered Chef: This blender not only blends but also cooks, making meal prep easier and more convenient.
– Hatch: These sound machines help us all get a good night’s sleep and provide cues for wake-up times.
– Canary: This video security system gives me peace of mind, especially with a new baby in the house.
Overall, technology has been a huge help in managing the chaos of daily life with young children. It’s not always easy, but these smart devices make it a little bit easier.
