When many people with different levels of executive functioning skills need to get out at the same time, you might need some support.

I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for two years, with a focus on products that make parenting just a bit easier — and hopefully more fun — home decor, kitchen gadgets, and whatever deals I can scope out.

Promising review: "I like this alarm clock because I keep my room dark and struggle waking up in the morning. The 'sunrise' light gradually increases to wake you up. It's the best alternative to the more expensive Hatch and no app needed — you set up, and it's good to go!" —Ma

Promising review: "Best coffee pot I've bought. I love the speed it has. A whole pot is done in no time! It is very high quality and has tons of convenient features." —Jacqueline

I recently switched my fine-haired daughter over to this leave-in conditioner, and we both love it! The citrus vanilla scent is SO good, and it actually works. I can spray this on wet hair after a shower or on a knot in dry hair, and it's equally great. 

Promising review: "The product was light and refreshing. Not too heavy on my daughter's hair. Definitely helped with the static and tangles. Enjoy using this!" —Brooke

Price: $7.47+ (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "When I bought this, I wondered how different it would be from the original. Well, let me tell you it's very different. It's a game changer for people with long, thick hair like mine. The bristles are strong yet flexible and untangle my hair with ease, and cause no pain to my head. I just highly recommend this for people with long, thick hair." —Samantha

Promising review: "Very easy to use and was comfortable to sleep in. Hair came out with soft, flowing curls." —Shauna

Price: $15.98+ (originally $15.99+; available in two colors)

Promising review: "Adorable, fast shipping. I hang my ponytail holders, hair bows, and hair ribbons on it. You may want to put some felt on the back of the wood dowels so they won't scratch the door if you hang it on a door." —Peggy

Promising review: "My bathroom vanity always had daily items on it — skincare, toothpaste, makeup brushes, foundation, etc. This holds everything, spins, looks adorable, and is the ONLY thing on my counter now! The dividers make spaces big enough to hold two serums and a moisturizer each! The center could also hold lipsticks if you're not a brush user." —kim

Promising review: "I bought these for my daughters, and they are perfect! Great quality and perfect organization!" —Walmart customer

Price: $17.99 (originally $29.99; available in three colors)

Promising review: "Easy-to-assemble shoe organizer. Really does save space and makes a closed shelf look tidier and classier." —Henrietta

Price: $19.99+ (available in packs of six, 12, and 20)

Promising review: "The quality is fantastic!!" —Erika

Price: $119.99+ (originally $209.99; available in three colors)

Promising review: "I’m really happy with this 12-pack drawer organizer! The dividers are sturdy, look great in the dresser, and keep all my clothes perfectly sorted. No more mess or digging around — everything is easy to find. Simple, clean, and super practical." —Sofiia

Price: $19.99+ (originally $23.99+; available in six colors)

Promising review: "Foldable, easy assembly, fairly sturdy; came quickly. Perfect assist for kids to dress in the morning." —Cher

Promising review: "I've been using the digital calendar for our family, and it's made staying organized so much easier. Now, my family and kids can be reminded and add events onto the calendar without it being all just on me. I can also add a chore list /reminders for all the members, and that way, nothing slips through our fingers. The large touchscreen display is super clear and easy to use, and I love that it syncs everything from your own phone without needing a subscription. I absolutely love it, especially when it's in sleep mode. It displays pictures of my family, and I just love watching it or catching a glimpse of it when cooking." —Irina

Price: $196+ (originally $299.99+; available in two sizes and two frame colors)

Transitions are a CONSTANT battle in my house and have been since toddlerhood. Add a little "neuro-spiciness" into the mix, and we have either major time blindness or zero patience for transitions WITH NO MIDDLE GROUND. A visual timer has been so helpful for both of my kids and has given us all a little more harmony. I wish I had gotten one sooner. 

Promising review: "Awesome, easy to use." —Erik

Promising review: "I love this chargeable task timer! It's great for keeping track of chores, work, or study time. The visual countdown makes it easy to stay on task. Compact, cool design." —Evelyn

Price: $35.99+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "Excellent toaster. Toasts quickly and evenly. It will display how long ’til your toast is done, so you know when to start the eggs!" —anonymous

Price: $34.99+ (originally $79.99+; available in five colors and three sizes)

Promising review: "This product is perfect for making hard-boiled eggs fast and conveniently... I've already made several different salads that have hard-boiled eggs in them, several omelets, and several dozen hard-boiled eggs. No more boiling eggs on the stove. It even comes with a measuring cup, so you know exactly how much water to put in it, and no more having to watch a timer, because the machine shuts off on its own when they are done. If I could give it 10 stars, I would! I highly recommend this product, and the price is great too!" —Harleygirl442

Price: $16.96+ (originally $20.95+; also available in a larger size)

Promising review: "I love this apple slicer! It cuts much more palatable-sized slices! I originally got it to save time cutting apples for my preschool classroom and have ended up using it all the time at home, too! Wonderful product! Cuts all the way through and 'pops' out with the bottom piece like a bloomin onion. It's easy and a little fun, too!" —Kim

Promising review: "This is so great to have in the house, and I'm getting more. I've got them in my pantry, freezer, and fridge." —anonymous

With my first, I got so many bibs. They worked for liquids only, but when we introduced solids, I realized they were NOT going to work anymore. One run-in with spaghetti and the thing was absolutely ruined for good. Once I found these, I realized just how much of my laundry was bibs, and this cut down on a ton of stress. When my daughter was finished eating, I'd wash it in soapy water and hang it on the high chair for the next use. I even stashed one in the diaper bag for meals out. 

Promising review: "Very creatively designed bib. Especially for people like me who hate cleaning bib stains, all the dirt washes right off. The only downside to it is that the dirt doesn't get absorbed and can get on the baby's face if you don't remove it from the bib in time. Would definitely recommend!!" —Akiva

Price: $10 for four bibs (originally $16.99; available in two color sets)

For the longest time, I was using a dustpan and broom to get my kid's crumbs after meals. It wasn't that big of a deal, but it was annoying. I finally decided to treat myself to a handheld vacuum, and I literally do not regret anything but waiting so long to get one. It's one of those really small things that really did make one part of parenting so much less work. Now that my baby is a big kid, she happily vacuums up after meals that are somehow still messy years later. 

Promising review: "Extremely convenient, especially for the stairwell, light fixtures, sofas, and cushions. Problems with messes from kids and pets ought to be easier to handle. The wall mount and charger assure a full charge whenever needed." —Stan

Promising review: "Absolutely fabulous; game changer. I have all tile flooring and pets who make messes. This Bissell hard floor cleaner gives the floor a nice clean shine in no time. I like that the cord is long enough to get to several rooms without having a short length hindrance. The swivel feature is a plus. I have been previously using the traditional mop and bucket system, which does not clean as thoroughly or as fast as this Bissell product. I like the self-cleaning option after you're done mopping to keep the brush clean, but I also like that the brush can easily be removed and put back in place for extra cleaning." —MomsDaughter

Price: $98.87+ (originally $249; available in a variety of mop formulas)

I recently switched over to an electric toothbrush for my kids because I was tired of them popping out of the bathroom after 15 seconds proudly saying they brushed their teeth. This has helped take SO much stress out of the brushing process. 

Promising review: "This is the third time we've purchased this toothbrush. One of the kids dropped theirs one too many times, and it stopped working—but this was after four years of use. It's easy to use, gives little vibratory clues to the user that it's time to move to a different section every 30 seconds, and stops after two minutes." —elleGee177

Promising review: "These shoelaces are easy to use, you put them in, you tie them once, and that’s it. My sneakers stretched to go on and off each day." —Derek

Price: $7.73+ (available in four colors)

Price: $364.99+ (available in two colors)

Price: $14.57+ (originally $16.19; available in two colors)
