On days like today, I am glad that apps like these exist. After a full weekend of freezing temperatures, an insurance adjuster dreads heading to the office. You will be bombarded with claims of roof leaks and frozen pipes. Today we had no less than 10 claims in all areas of the region with varying degrees of damage. It is times like these that I am so happy that I have have found these relaxation apps perfect for busy moms. They help me take a few minutes and relax during busy stressful days.
The first one is perfect for days like today when I'm running around like a chicken without a head. The second, will come in hand when I have to spend long hours in the office writing up reports for all these claims. Either way, they are perfect for busy working moms!!

As busy moms, we put pressure on ourselves to do it all. There is so much on our plate and not enough time to do it in. We have jobs to do, kids to nurture, husbands to support, houses to clean, not to mention meeting our own needs. Having the kids around constantly can make some of these tasks near impossible. The problem is, often times we don't have people we trust or the resources to pay for someone to watch our kids. I recently came across a new app that solves this problem in a really smart way. Komae to the rescue!
