Raising a family is hard work. It also eats into the hours of the day. From getting the kids out the door each morning to putting dinner on the table at night, a mother’s work is never done.
With all the time-consuming tasks that mums face every day, Nimble Australia explored how technology can help you stay on top by saving precious minutes.
Check out these handy apps to get the most out of your day, as featured in Nimble’s recent article.
Save time grocery shopping
Nimble’s survey revealed that people who did their shopping online spent 20% less time doing their groceries than people who bought in-store.
Not only does shopping online save you time, it also means you get to stay in your comfy trackies all day!
