My home business. Not really a "gadget" per se, but it lets me be a working mom AND a stay at home mom all at the same time. Makes for a very happy me and a very happy baby. www.mystressfreeincome.com

Can I have two? I need to tell you about 2! My palm pilot (which I swore I would never use, but I sync it daily to my yahoo web-based schedule and that way my friends and family know what I am up to. And my new NANO! I am so enjoying having music in my life every day!!!

I love electronic gadgets, but I'm going old school here. I have a small dry erase board next to the back door where I jot down short notes or reminders for me to see just before I walk out the door. I can't tell you the number of times my son would have missed swimming at school (unless he was willing/permitted to go sans swim trunks) but for the last second reminder.

Laptop. Mine is a real workhorse. Not pretty. Not the latest technology. But, like an old Ford, it keeps plodding along (knock on wood!) and I couldn't be a WAHM without it. Now if they could just make one that has a toddler-repelling force field to keep sticky little fingers away, that would be awesome!
Bourbon.

Just kidding. Kinda.

I think the gadget that makes life easier is Google Calendar -- I can manage everyone's schedules and color-code them so I can tell who's is which at a glance.
My Blackberry 8800 - hands down. From there I can manage my contacts and calendar, email, text, call, instant message, manage my iwantsandy account, etc, etc. It's my handheld laptop.

This is easy: Palm Treo. Nothing would get done if it weren't for that thing.
Laptop! For me ,I'm juggling kids with one hand and laptop with the other. Without a laptop I'm not sure how I could manage to work and parent.
