What helps you juggle work and family? What's your favorite quick stress reducer? Have you found a way to squeeze in some 'me' time into your busy schedule? Share your tips!

Hi moms! Just to share with you, here is a stress reducer I use almost daily since this summer : it's a single app for iOS devices but is really a smart idea! Just like your mood lamp except you can bring it anywhere. I use to relax with it, my children love it, and you can even use it as a nightlight ! This is the 'lifesaver' part, it helped me more than once with children when not at home. I wish app developers have more often such good stuff to offer ! Enjoy and have a good day, Lili”

My lifesaver is online shopping, especially Diapers!! Since we have 5 kids it is hard for me to go shopping. With just a few click, they send you a box of diaper. How cool is that! I will provide you the coupon code that I used for Diapers.com. You can get $10 OFF on the first of order!! Here is the coupon code MASO115 ENJOY $10 OFF !!

I kick back with a good book and a nice cup of tea when I can.

Masking tape is my current lifesaver: The little kids will play with it for ages, and if they stick it to the wall or the floor it comes off easily!

I love to save money whenever I can. I'm kind of like a shopaholic, but I'm a saveaholic. Don't get me wrong, I love to shop, but it's the saving part that gets me excited.

Thankfully, no one is looking over my shoulder at work, so one of my me time squeezes is periodically checking facebook & now this site...for my daily dose of there is a life out there aside from work and being a mom.

THE CROCKPOT! I have 3. One has different sized bowls. I have learned to turn almost any recipe into a crockpot recipe.

I remember more than a few times calling my mom and being so upset because I couldn't get my daughter to clean her room...it was like she was sitting on my last nerve.. My mother said 'Pick your battles'. I was driving and wanted to throw the phone out the window! That's it? That's the 'talk me down from the ledge' response from my mom? Then she continued, "Is this really the issue you want to get so upset about?" In the 'big picture', a messy room is a 2 on a scale of 1-10. I hear her voice all the time 'Pick your battles'...and it calms me down. I always ask myself is it worth getting so bent out of shape about? or probably not. Moms...pick your battles! Melissa :)

I started using the disposable plastic food containers to store small toys (action figures, dinosaurs, etc). Not only does it keep all of the little stuff together but a pack of them is only about $2.50. These then get placed in the toy box and we have an organized toy box!

My newest lifesaver is planning out my dinner menus. People kept telling me it would save time and money, but I just wasn't sure I'd be in the mood to cook whatever it was. Am I glad I finally broke down and started doing this! I'm combining it with the once a month cooking I was already doing and am saving so much time and energy.
