Here's a sneak peek at what you'll find below:
Let's dive in to the top 5 kitchen items every busy soccer mom needs, and see how you can make family life (and your own!) a little less wild, one gadget at a time.
Your kitchen is your playbook. But when you're clocking in one soccer game after another, the last thing you need is a slow meal routine or missing tools. Cluttered countertops, lost utensils, or time-consuming snack prep can leave you frustrated, overwhelmed, or even tempted to give up on that healthy meal you promised the family. We all want to be the parent who nails dinner - and still catches every kickoff. But with the wrong equipment, even scrambling eggs or slicing fruit can turn into overtime.
The real win comes with a simple game plan: invest in five kitchen essentials from Monkey Business that are designed to save you time, reduce stress, and even spark joy while prepping. Let's get specific. Here are the MVPs you need in your kitchen lineup:
Nothing ruins a quick dinner like bad garlic or wasted produce. This terracotta garlic keeper is a breath of fresh air for your pantry. Its natural material keeps garlic fresh longer by absorbing excess moisture, protecting it from light, and fighting odors - so you're always ready for that speedy stir-fry or garlic bread. No more shriveled cloves when you need them most. And because it doubles as cheerful counter decor, you'll want to keep it front and center.
If you love slipping veggie sticks into lunch bags or jazzing up salads, the Karoto 2 is your secret weapon. It peels, curls, and juliennes - so you can prep carrots, zucchinis, or cucumbers with one tool. Bonus: Kids will love the pencil-sharpener style. Getting them to eat more veggies just became a game, not a chore. Real talk, if your child's teammate comes over and asks, "How'd you make those curly snacks?" - you'll know you've scored.
Drinks (and snacks) stay cool, game after game, thanks to the slim whale ice pack. It's slim enough for any lunchbox, lunch bag, or cooler - no wrestling awkward chunks of ice or soggy sandwiches. This reusable ice pack is a must for moms who want to keep apples, yogurts, and water perfectly chilled through double-header Saturdays. Practical, adorable, and mess-free, it makes prepping for the field a total breeze.
You're juggling ten things at once, so avoiding burns in the kitchen is serious business. These pasta-shaped silicone pot grips are heat-resistant, comfortable, and just quirky enough to get a "Mom, where did you get those?" The non-slip design means fewer dropped hot pots, and you'll love their dishwasher-safe simplicity. Every soccer night's pasta dinner just got tastier - and safer.
How many times has your spoon slipped into the sauce when you're multitasking? Hug Doug is a clever silicone helper that grips your spoon or spatula so it never slides into the pot. No more singed fingers or messy countertops. Add a dash of cheer to your kitchen routine and, frankly, fewer cleanup headaches after a long day at the field.
These five essentials are more than cute - each saves time, cuts clutter, or adds extra safety to your mealtime routines. Consider this: According to the market intelligence company Statista, the average American spends about 37 minutes per day on meal prep. If each clever tool here saves you even two minutes a day, that adds up to twelve hours each year - a full day recaptured for yourself and your family.
Monkey Business designs their kitchen accessories with a sense of fun without losing sight of function. These tools are more than just conversation starters - they make kitchen ownership feel lighter, friendlier, and far less frantic. Many reviewers (and plenty of busy parents) say their kids help more around the kitchen when tasks become playful, proving that design and family function truly can go hand in hand. Just imagine the difference when every family meal feels less like a struggle and more like quality time.
Now it's your turn to enjoy smoother routines and happier family meals. Stock your kitchen with these five tools, and you'll find less stress, more smiles, and more wins (both on the field and at the dinner table). Not only will your snacks stay fresh and your prep time shrink, but you'll actually find yourself looking forward to what's next. So - what could you do with the extra time and energy you'll save every week?
