Meijer & P&G: Make More Time For Mom Giveaway
As a busy Mom of three active boys (10, 12, 12) and working full-time, I get often asked, “how do you do it all?”
Honestly?
I don’t!
I just do the best that I can and keep it moving. There is no “perfect mom”. That person just does not exist, regardless of what society and social media want us to think. Many moms struggle with keeping everything together because they feel that’s what all the other Moms are doing! “This mom always post pictures on Facebook of her house always spotless, kids perfect, and dinner on the table at 5 pm”.
And I wonder how many takes it took that Mom to get that perfect picture?
Let’s stop trying to be perfect and worry about what other people think of you. Just be you. Make your perfect world where you can eat chocolate all day long. Whatever floats your boat, works for me!
However, let’s be honest. There are some things we just have to get done.
Like, grocery shopping.
Can I tell you a secret?
I really don’t like grocery shopping. I would pay someone to do it for me.
Yes, I said that. The deal blogger, the couponer, the Meijer lover. Yes, I said that.
I think it’s because I am in Meijer all the time looking for deals for YOU, I don’t feel like going to do my shopping. And yes, I have tried to do both at the same time, and I spend more time in the store!
However, I love shopping at Meijer because it saves me time! Since it is a one-stop-shop, I can get everything on my list done without running to five stores! #lifesaver
Here are a few things I like to do when I have MORE time on my hands because I hit up Meijer for all the things:
- I take myself out to breakfast. Hello Golden Harvest
- I treat myself to a Pedicure. I don’t know about your store, but we have a Nail and Pedi place right in Meijer!
- I picked up a few P&G products, including one to dye my “ahem” gray hair.
- Stopped at one of my favor decor stores for a little bit of window shopping. I don’t know about you, but I find window shopping to be relaxing.
Other ways I save time is by “trying” to stay organized. I do my best to keep a regular bedtime routine for the boys. Having them go to bed on time, allows me to spend time by myself or relax with the hubs.
These are just a few ways I “Make More Time For Mom”.

I save time shopping at Meijer by taking advantage of the free cookie. Keeps my kids quiet and allows me to get at 1/2 my shopping done depending on the trip.
