Working moms pull double-duty every day: not only do they have the prospect of a long day on the job ahead of them, they also have to help get the kids ready in the morning and make sure everything is going smoothly.
Yes, it’s almost as if working moms have two jobs, and a lot of stress to go with them. Fortunately, with the prevalence of today’s mobile devices, there are plenty of apps that may be able to take some of that stress away and help you prepare for the day. Here are just a few of the apps you can find on the Google App store that may be able to help you get through your days easier.
Call Recorder
Have trouble keeping up with all of the calls you get throughout the day, from both work and family members? The Automatic Call Recorder for Me can help you keep everything straight.
The app automatically records any calls you want so you don’t have to take notes to remember important information. You can sort through and bookmark all of your recordings as well for easy access. The calls can be password protected as well so no one can listen to them but you.
Web MD
This app can be a quick way to help you diagnose illnesses and injuries to yourself and your family. The app can give you symptoms to look for, advice on how to treat minor injuries as well as what to do in an emergency.
The information on the app is credible, but you should always consult a physician if you think the injuries are more than you can handle yourself.
Sleep Pillow
If you have trouble falling asleep at night, this app can help. Just hook your device up to a speaker — or use your smartphone’s built-in speakers — and place it next to your bed to hear soothing sounds that can help you fall asleep faster.
There are over fifty sounds you can choose from, including natural sounds like rain and waves crashing on a beach, to wind chimes, a train ride, white noise and even the sound of a bustling city through a closed window. Each sound is digitally mastered to help you sleep and awake refreshed.
Dropbox
This is a free app that lets you keep all of your important documents, photos and other files in one convenient place that you can open on any mobile device. This way, you will always have everything you need, no matter where you are.
Grocery IQ
Grocery UQ helps you make grocery lists and keep track of everything you need in your house. You can create custom lists or drag-and-drop items from the app’s library. You can also review past lists and quickly create a “favorites” list for the essential items you family always needs.
If you’re a working mom who could use a little help (and who couldn’t?), let today’s technology give you a hand.
