Metal hangers do exist

To be honest I didn't think they made metal hangers anymore but was glad to see they still do. They don't break like plastic hangers, they can be bent a bit or creased so that they will hold thin strap shirts on so they don't fall off.

Metal hangers also work well for getting doors open that your children lock themselves in with. Like bathrooms. They don't work in all locks but they do work in most interior doors so you can rescue your children from time to time.

I also like that they take up less room then plastic hangers. I still have tons of plastic hangers but as they break and are sent to either the recycle center or the dump. I will be replacing with metal hangers now that I know they are still being made.

You can purchase BriaUSA standard hangers on Amazon.

No more broken hangers

As a mom I am always doing laundry, washing, folding, hanging, putting away, then repeating over and over again. it just goes on and on. Hanging clothes on plastic hangers is nice but plastic hangers break while metal hangers like the BriaUSA children's hangers are not only child size but I don't have to replace them as often which means I save more money, which means more money that can go towards things the kids need.

Hurley Hippo

Hurley Hippo is very cute and the kids think it is fun to feed Hurley at the end of their bath. All of my children have loved their bath toys but with lots of children comes lots of bath toys. We have more then one bathroom which also means more then one way to store our bath toys. Until we got Hurley we used a red plastic wagon to keep out upstairs bath toys in. But now Hurley Hippo does the job.

We have had a water themed bathroom for quite sometime and Hurley Hippo matches perfectly.

Stainless Steel S Hooks For Kitchen Organizing

 I have always wanted one of these Bars that sit over your Kitchen Island in order to hang my pots and pans. I don't have one yet as we rent, but someday I hope to have one when we move.

Until then I use these hooks to put my mugs on in a bar that my husband attached to the inside of my cabinet, wish I had though of this earlier.

I actually need to order more because they are so useful. In the bathroom I have one attached to the outside of the shower rod to hang my hair towel on so when I get out of the shower it is right there,

I can also use this in my room on my closet organizer to hand the clothes I want to wear for the day or week. Our closet organizer is made of Stainless Steel as well so it goes perfectly.

You can purchase the Pro Chef Kitchen tools Stainless Steel S Hooks For Kitchen Organizing on Amazon.

What Pro Chef Kitchen Tools has to say about their product. 

START ORGANIZING YOUR KITCHEN LIKE A PROFESSIONAL CHEF WITH S HOOKS

Like a proper restaurant kitchen, everything is within your arm's reach from tools to pots. If you want to fight countertop clutter, there's something pristine about rows of kitchen supplies when they're at home hanging rather than sprawled on a countertop or stuffed in drawers and on shelves. Don't limit yourself to pots and utensils, think towels, dish drying racks, and whatever else you can think of. The moveable, sliding round hooks will give you a tremendous amount of flexibility - which is the keyword for any kitchen.

CLUTTER CONTROL

Is your kitchen tool collection getting out of control? Does finding the right tool mean triggering an avalanche of gourmet cookware when you open a cabinet door? Time to unclutter. Hanging S hooks are a quick answer to countertop clutter. Made out of heavy-gauge stainless steel, these hooks will put your kitchen gadgets, tools, pots and pans on display, keeps them within quick reach, and frees up cabinet space, all at the same time. The tools don't rub or scrape against one another like in a drawer, which minimizes damage to your valuable investment. The hooks are easy to install on any rack or shelf without any tools. Suitable for all popular kitchen tools with hanging loops, as the hooks are universal and matches most kitchen styles.

All products sold by Pro Chef Kitchen Tools are protected with a full lifetime replacement warranty. If you don't like the round S hooks for any reason or aren't experiencing the organization results you expected, you will be given a no-questions-asked 100% refund.

Best Planner Ever

Personally I have an online calendar but I still like to use a hard copy calendar. It just fits my lifestyle better. Our family doesn't have cell phone. Rarely do I have my iPad mini with me and unless my 18 year old is with me and has her iPod touch we don't have access to the internet or my online calendar when out and about. I have a smaller planner that I have in my purse as well, but when I am home I like to use my bigger planner from tools4wisdom. 

This is about the best planner I have ever seen. So wish they had this when I was younger and had all of my children home. Not that the three I still have living at home don't fill our time up with excitement it is just that having this one would have been really nice to have. 

I did made do over the years with other planners but this is really the best planner I have seen so far. I have always been a list kind of person, planning, making goals, and scratching things off my to do list. Now that I have Fibromyalgia having a planner really keeps me going in the right direction. Great for teachers, bloggers, any anyone who would like to be more organized. 

Sometimes I still get a little messed up with what I am doing during the day but a look at my planner gets me back on track. The tools4wisdom planner has weekly, monthly, and yearly planning as well as goals and lots of space to write in what ever else you might be wanting to accomplish.

Below you can see what my husband has to say about tools4wisdom planners.

Got a great idea?

 Have you ever been in the shower when a great idea comes to you and by the time you get out of the shower you totally forget that idea? Well know you can have a place to put your ideas so you can act on them after the shower.

Also great for children while they are taking a bath, they can draw, practice their letters, spelling etc.

I keep mine on the wall where my shower head is so that the water doesn't splash on it so much so I can read my chicken scratch more easily when I jot the ideas down on my to do lists.

This can also be a great place to remind you what needs to be done for the day. Just write your list on the board the night before and in the morning when you are showering you will have your updated list for the day reminding you of what needs to be done.

You can purchase the shower genius idea board on Amazon.

Quick Stitch Sewing Kit

Have you ever been out and about and a button falls off, or you have a rip that needs a little loving care? This sewing kit is perfect for quick fixes or to have stashed near your laundry room. I myself have a pile of clothes to be sewing and to be honest the only time I have ever sewed besides putting on a button was in Jr. High for a stuffed animal project ( I got most original, enough said), and when I was pregnant. Have no idea just felt the need to sew.

I love that everything has a place and is organized for quick retrieval. When you are done everything stores back inside and zips up all in one neat case.

Being the parent of six children and caring for countless others , you really need to be organized. Although I am not quite as organized as when I was running a full time child care, for the most part we can find what we need to. 

Now as we are getting older, we are finding ourselves saying that we were much more organized when I ran my child care then we are now. One thing that makes organization easy is to get rid of what you don't need, and organize what you do need in a way it is useful, easy to find, and use.
