However much I love making lists, like say, my to-do list, the issue is always the same: Too much on the list so not everything gets done, leaving me feeling unproductive. I love these small notepads because they are a GREAT reminder for us busy moms to pare down our endless to-dos. Yes, we all have more than one, but figuring out what is the key one thing to get done each day is a big step towards being more productive and less stressed. OK, for me it is.

I know I need this — and I don’t even carry a purse most of the time. In fact, that’s why I need this; they’re all looped over doorknobs and stuffed into a corner of my closet right this very second. Come to think of it, it would probably work great for my kids’ hat collections, or for errant stuffed animals; each strap holds eight purses (or anything else you can slip onto a strap, I’m guessing). Adjustable, over-the-door storage just might be a busy, cluttered mom’s dream come true.

My husband likes to think of himself as reader of all things written. My daughter, on the other hand, likes to think of herself as eater of all things written. I’ve been trying to come up with an innovative solution that will keep our large book collection out of reach for those grubby little hands. Umbra’s Flybrary Bookshelf is that solution, since the books form their own stylish shelf high above a tantrumming tot.

They might not look like much, but anything that can lift your bed up a few extra inches is a beautiful thing in my book, because more storage room under the bed equals less clutter out in the open.
