Never a dull moment...

As a mom of a 5 year old that just started school.. And soon to a new born. I am trying to be more organized at home. I love my to do lists but there aren't enough hours in the day... For example this is a typical day for me:

5:15am - wake up
5:18am - Change into gym clothes or work clothes
5:30am - go downstairs and make myself bfast
6:00am - I should be done eating bfast or close to it.. While catching up on a show that i recorded.
6:10am - Start putting together whatever is left that I need to do for Mason's snack for school and lunch for daycare.
6:20am - make Mason bfast
6:30am - go upstairs and make sure that Mason is awake
6:31am - Put make up on and do hair if i am not going to the gym
6:45am - Make sure Mason changed into his clothes
6:55am - argue with Mason that he needs to brush his teeth and stop watching tv
7:05am - head downstairs to put on shoes and coat..
7:10am - be in car (all this is going to change because he starts school)
7:15am - arrive at daycare
7:25am - get back into car and drive to work
7:55am - Arrived at work and get some urgent items done
8:30am - head to gym (early lunch break) so that i get this done with because i won't later
9:30am - work again
11:00am - eat at desk because i already used my lunch break
5:00pm - leave work and pick up Mason
5:40pm - PIck up Mason from daycare
6:00pm - Start cooking dinner
6:45pm - eat dinner
7:30pm - bath time and get ready for bed
7:45pm - Jump in the shower to take a quick one before i go to bed
8:10pm - Read story time
8:30pm - Song and kiss time
8:35pm - watch one show that i recorded because i need to rest
9:00pm - decide what room i want to attempt to clean
9:45pm - Put together what I can for Mason's lunch
10:15pm - head upstairs and wind down to go to sleep

So I need to figure out how to be more organized...... i am working on finding make up products that are easy and fast... Because once this baby is here i won't want to spend time getting myself ready.. so i found a couple of items i LOVE!!

1. LivingProof - straight!! I have wavy hair to say the least.. So I will take a shower at night and when it's not hot. I will stray this stuff in my hair and blow dry. The next day all i have to do it flat iron my bangs and stray on some shine to the hair and brush.. That's it and let's call it a day. The bottle says to flat iron after you blow dry.. but come on I am trying to keep my hair nice.. I have enough split ends. Oh and when i am blow drying I just use my fingers!!

2. LORAC Oil-Free Wet/Dry Powder Makeup: Now I have been in search of a foundation.. I love that you can use this as a wet or dry or either both.. I when I know I have a 'date' night.. I will wet the sponge and apply the powder. Once I finish I will use a brush to dust the powder on my face to set and a little more coverage. Plus this so far is the only foundation that I have used where I still have my 'eyebrows' on. I have barely any eyebrows.

3. Smashbox Brow Tech To Go: By far the BEST invention!! I don't have to use a brow brush. This is one product that I ALWAYS wear no matter what.

So on the search for my products that make my life easier.
