What makes my life easier

There are certain things in my life that simply MAKE LIFE EASIER

These are materialistic things...I'm not talking Tim (he's a given....) or baby swings (of course those make life easier!), Lululemon Still Pants (I have 5 pairs and I rotate them daily...it's my mommy wardrobe and I love it) I'm talkin simple gadgets or things you have that you cannot do without. The items that stand the test of time...day in and day out...

Here are my top 3 items...I use them daily. Sometimes several times a day. When they break, I replace them immediately. They make me smile..they complete me...

1. My coffee maker(s) and to-go cup. Yes I AM addicted to coffee, and I like variety. When I work I make a pot in my cuisinart grind 'n brew. So many coffee beans...so little time. When I need a bit of sweetness I make a chai latte or cappuccino in my Bosch Tassimo. My "it's not a take out cup" was Tim's solution to my odd behavior of reusing Tim Hortons take out cups.

2. My egg timer.
You put this little guy in your water and a dark line results at soft and then grows to medium and then the entire egg is one dark blob when the egg is hard. Yes I could simply set the micro timer for 5 minutes..but this is more fun. I have had this for years and I use it everyday...I like my eggs done between med and hard and this gadget tells me exactly when that happens! Admit it, a watery egg (unless you roll like that) is a huge letdown.

3. My home gym...
Cole took this picture as I was finishing my workout yesterday...See my well positioned treadmill in front on the TV? I PVR and run like a mad woman! My exercise ball, nautilus weight machine and rack of dumbbells keep me sane. I can escape to the basement and crank the tunes (my IPOD was a close one in this list..kinda go hand in hand as I cannot workout without music!)

So tell me, what are the three items/gadgets you cannot live without?
