It would probably be easier for me to make a list of modern conveniences that I DON’T rely on, because when I sat here and started looking around the house, thinking about all the things that get me through the day, the list started getting pretty long. Here’s just a few:
1. A coffee maker. I tried using a French Press to make coffee, and it was always gritty and never hot enough. I’m currently addicted to the Parent Bloggers NetworkTassimo beverage machine that I won in a previous Parent Bloggers Network blog blast.
2. The DVR. I have episodes of “Dora”, “Ni Hao Kai Lan”, and “Max and Ruby” ready for Kaitlyn because otherwise, I would never get anything done. It’s also the only way I can watch any TV show at night, because I’m getting three kids into bed between 8-10 PM.
3. My laptop. Because when Kaitlyn wants to play outside, my work can go too. Same thing for bathtime-oh yes, I’ll admit it, I sit on the closed toilet lid with my laptop perched on the sink and read emails while K is in the bathtub.
4. A cordless telephone. Those of you old enough to remember when telephones hung on the wall and had a long curly cord that gave you a few feet to move, can you even imagine still having to use the phone that way now? I sure can’t.
5. Convenience foods. Okay, I wish I could say that I spoon my homemade yogurt into containers that my kids then bring home for me to wash every day, but the truth is, I don’t. I keep yogurt cups like Yoplait Kids, fat free pudding cups, Quaker granola bars, and I even sometimes by the 100 calorie pack snacks, so that it’s easy for the boys to help pack their lunches in the morning. I am NOT a morning person 
What about you? What modern conveniences do you need to get through your day?

Got to have a coffee machine, right?
People have tried to slur the benefits of coffee, however the medical benefits are known and many recent studies have proven this. So what better thing to have in your kitchen than the very best coffee maker for that perfect cup of coffee.
I absolutely love my coffee every morning. As a matter of fact we will be buying a coffee maker tommorrow!!
