What unique tools does Janis Elspas recommend for managing a hectic family life?

Janis Elspas loves anything that makes busy family life run more smoothly and gives parents a little me time to recharge. One simple “tool” often mentioned is carving out a short daily ritual for yourself, like a calm coffee or herbal tea break, to reset before diving back into parenting duties.

She has also highlighted must‑have parenting apps for moms and dads with young kids, especially tools that help organize schedules, track kids’ needs, and streamline communication so life feels less chaotic overall.

Would you like app suggestions by age of your kids or by what stresses you out most (schedules, meals, behavior, etc.)?
