Mom's Gadgets

My boys love to eat bananas and I love the healthy benefits of bananas. Bananas rarely cause allergies and they only contain natural sugars that offer instant energy. Bananas provide your body with a good dose of vitamin C and antioxidants. These are a perfect snack to have on hand for my sports loving boys. The problem is that I am not always there to help them slice the bananas when they have them in their cereal or yogurt.

The banana slicer has made cutting bananas easy, even my boys can do it. It cuts an entire banana all in one slice, making perfectly even slices. Now bananas don’t go to waste, they can be used for fruit salads, cereal, or smoothies. And I don’t have to worry about my boys cutting their fingers when trying to slice a banana. If you are mom of younger kids who want to do things themselves, this is the perfect gadget that helps them feel more independent.

When I was a kid there was a neat home gadget called a dust buster.  I’m not sure if they still have those on the market or not, but similar products even those with additional features are available today.  If you’re a busy wife and mom this type gadget could be a great tool to have around the house to beat the dust and suck up the crumbs that are inevitably on your floors if you have small children.

These gadgets are usually fairly light, battery powered, with the ability to charge them, then grab and go.  The fact that they are lightweight allows you to take them virtually anywhere.  You may even want to use them in your car.

They are also great for tight spaces and for cleaning up messes quickly without having to drag out your bigger vacuum cleaner.  For many people this would save many minutes in their day.  You may want to check your local department stores for such a gadget today.
