How many days ago did you…?
More clever moms solving problems!
How many jars of food have you thrown out because you couldn’t remember when you opened them?
It was this very problem, that gave moms Debbie Stephens Stauffer and Kathleen Whitehurst the idea for their invention – DaysAgo – a digital day counter that attaches to food containers and other things that need smart tracking.
This handy little device comes in two versions – magnetic and suction – to easily attach to all sorts of items around your home. From keeping track of formula or baby food, to measuring the time since you opened a bottle of medication, to watering your plants, the ways DaysAgo can help you out are countless.
I gave one to my son to attach to his fish tank to keep track of how many days it has been since we last cleaned and changed the water. He thinks it is so much fun – what a great way to keep your kids motivated and on task for their chores!
We aren’t the only ones talking about DaysAgo! DaysAgo has received numerous awards, including the “2007 Good Buy Award” from the Good Housekeeping Institute and top parenting awards from iParenting Media and The National Parenting Center, and was even featured on Oprah!
We love this clever idea and so we are sharing it with you. If you want to try out DaysAgo, just leave your comment here at this post. We have 2 packs of the DaysAgo for three winners. Each pack contains 2 products and the packets come in either magnetic or suction styles…so each winner would receive 2 magnets and 2 suctions.
We will be drawing the winner on July 4th. All the instructions are in our July 4th Giveaway sticky post (including the code to put our July 4th Giveaway button on your site.)
