    Summer is here and coping with kids and heat sometimes requires some creative thinking and helpful gadgets!  Every so often, in our day to day lives we come across gadgets that we realize we are relying on almost everyday and really don't want to do without.  I was thinking about what those gadgets are for me right now and I asked the girls what their favorite gadgets are as well.  Here is a list of things you may come to find will make your life easier! 
     Back when we were doing Friday Faves, we did a similar post. It is funny to look back and see how the list has changed.  Of course, we aren't limiting ourselves to just kitchen gadgets this time. 
PIttsburgh 7/8" Spring Clamp Set:  My husband and I were in Harbor Freight and I saw these little clamps.  I knew they would be perfect for all of the summer snack bags, etc, that I need to close up.  If you have a Harbor Freight near you, they were only $1.99 there, for a set of 6.  They close tightly and are so cute!  
Oster Bread Maker:  Alicia loves this bread maker.  She says that it mixes up the perfect pizza dough for her every time! 
Kitchen Aid Food Processor:  Along with her bread machine, Alicia loves her food processor.  She says she makes tomato sauce in her food processor with canned whole tomatoes, garlic, onions and spices.  Then she keeps it in a container in her fridge and uses it throughout the week! Perfect for the pizza sauce!  (I love my food processor too, which is this one.)
OXO Salad Spinner:  Salads are a big part of the menu in the summer months.  This gadget, the salad spinner, comes in handy when you want your oil based dressings to stick to the salad.  Lindsey loves it.  (They are pretty fun to spin!  Get your kids involved!)
Pampered Chef Ice Cream Scoop:  Another thing that gets used a lot in the summer is the ice cream scoop.  I just purchased the Pampered Chef scoop this year.  I don't know how I lived with any other scoop.  It cuts through had ice cream really easily and makes nice scoops. It is easy to grip and has a great look as the cherry on top.  It may seem pricey for an ice cream scoop, but I am not regretting it! 
Air Fryer:  Lindsey loves her air fryer! Especially since her husband likes to cook in it, too!  It is a great way to have fried food without the oil and extra fat in your diet. You can even bake a cake in it, so no heating up the oven and your kitchen! 
Himalayan Rock Salt Night Light:  Like I said, we aren't just sticking to kitchen gadgets!  Maddy loves her salt night light so much that she got one for me! These night lights glow beautifully and they are natural air purifiers! Even though it gets dark later in the summer, Maddy works late much of the time and this beautiful light is welcoming when she gets home. 
    What gadgets are you loving right now?  Let us know in the comments!  Some of these could even make nice Father's Day gifts! ( A little set of clamps, or the air fryer?  How about the ice cream scoop along with his favorite flavor of ice cream?) We would love to see your ideas.

I am a gadget nerd!! I should do such a post. Love the idea of the Himalayan rock salt night light, never seen such in a night light! And a good ice cream scoop can't be beat.
