I recently became a dad again with the addition to the family of the cutest little girl. She’s really pretty, but also really loud, and really demanding. Needless to say, life in our house sure has changed a lot over the last few weeks. One of the biggest changes was we had to be smarter and more efficient about how we did things. I immediately turned to the Internet to get my life more streamlined.

The path to finding smarter, more efficient ways to do things lead me to some fascinating sites. The extensive resources and tools that I found dealt primarily with good-to-know information, inspiring ideas and handy tips for those who are looking to make the routine of life just that little bit easier. What I like a lot about these sites is that a majority of the content and information being provided was created by users just like you and I. I hope you will get as much benefit out of these as I did:
