I ran this article last winter: Frugal Mom's Favorite Things and was thinking about doing a fall edition this year. I was wondering if any of you had some great new products to tell other moms about? It's always nice to hear what products others enjoy.

I LOVE the Magic Eraser too!!!

It is so inexpensive, lasts a long time, and cleans ANYTHING.

Article of Clothing: peasant blouses...love what they cover! LOL

Accessory: larger sized fun print purses..make it easy to use my diaper bag as a purse or my purse as a diaper bag!

Magazine: Quick Cooking by Taste of Home. Fast, easy, and cheap meals.

Cleaning Product: Tilex. I swear by it. It bleaches things back to white that nothing else will, kills mold/mildew, koolaid spills on counter tops and tile, and I can even use it on my berber rugs to get stains out!!

Personal Care/Hygiene Product: LOVE the new Degree Clear..."little black dress approved"

Service: I agree..online ordering of digital photos, but I use Kodak or Walgreens. I can't imagine sitting in WalMart doing this myself!

Food/Drink Product: Diet Vanilla Dr. Pepper...it's my coffee!

Gadget: TiVo...not for me, but for my kids..which in turn is for my sanity!

Fragrance/Candles/Etc.: Love homey scents like Vanilla Creme...or Sugar Cookies..makes me feel all homey, so I tend to keep things homey looking..less clutter and mess and just on top of things. DH says he is buying one for every room for me for Christmas!

Other:[/b][/b] I agree with the portable dvd player. It is a God-send on trips for us. Also, now that costs are coming down, I would love one of the baby monitors with the camera on them. A friend has one, and it is so nice to hear a cough, and just glance over to see if they have rolled back over to sleep and KNOW they aren't choking on something!
