Being a mom means always being busy and every day is different. It's always great when technology can help with everyday tasks and ease any routine. Here's a list of four must-have products to help make any mom have an easier and more productive day.

1. Multicooker

A multi-cooker is an all-in-one kitchen appliance with multiple functions – rice cooker, steamer, slow cooker, yogurt maker, and baking. Life as a mom can get busy quickly but, a multicooker allows you to multitask efficiently. No need to babysit the food, giving you more time to run errands around the house or spend time with the kids. Many recipes can be adapted for a multicooker, but there is also a recipe book included for fun new meals. A multicooker also has an easy cleanup, with most models being dishwasher safe and only having one pot to worry about.

2. Smart Speaker

A smart speaker can be used to set reminders, answer questions, and even be a virtual assistant, all while being hands-free! Adding one to the home can help any mom throughout the day. There are many smart speakers to choose from, and most have similar functions. Many devices are compatible with smartphones, allowing you to have them on the go. Amazon offers a variety of options starting at affordable prices, including the Echo from Amazon, great for everyday basic tasks. If you want to go all out the Amazon Echo Show has a screen and more smart home control options.

3. Tile Trackers for Small Items

Always losing your keys? Or can never find your wallet when your running late? Tile Trackers can help make the search quick and easy! Tile Trackers work with both iPhone and Android using Bluetooth to help find missing items. Stick one of these devices on your keychains, wallets, or bags to make leaving the house on time more achievable. Tile Trackers also have a button on them, so if you have one in hand but no phone in sight, it can be used to find your phone, even when it is on silent.

4. Sunrise Alarm Clock

Waking up peacefully can be a reality with a sunrise alarm clock. Sunrise lamps give a morning boost by using sunlight to naturally let your body wake up while resetting your sleep-wake cycle. These are great if you have to wake up before sunrise or use them in rooms that don't have enough natural light during the day. The lamp can also double as a bedside reading lamp with ten brightness levels.

Whether you are a new mom or experienced, these items are sure to make a positive difference in your life!
