Make More Time for Mom w/ Meijer #MMT4M


        I have always been a very organized person throughout most of my life, just ask my mother.  Unlike most other children, my room was always very neat, I had a savings built up before I was 15, and my schedule for the week was always very well planned out.  I am never late or I honestly begin to freak and chaos of any sort in my home makes me a little crazy (okay a lot of crazy).  One of the biggest challenges I have ever had to overcome once having children is dealing with the chaos a little one brings into our lives.


        Something that I can promise is that NO ONE understands what it is like to be a mother (especially a stay at home mother) until you are one.  To be honest, I belittled others cutting the job down that they did until I myself became one.  There truly is a lot to keep straight and organized as well as little ones to never take your eyes off all while trying to taking care of yourself.  As a Mother, tell me you aren't someone who wishes your daily tasks would complete themselves?!

        I don't care what the reason, it would just be great to have that extra time on my hands.  I bet we could all find something to do instead of those dreaded tasks like spending time with our children, catching up on a hobby (or sleep), and so much more!  While I work from home and you'd think that my days run as smoothly as I want them to, this is anything but the case.

        I consider myself very lucky to have always lived near a Meijer Shopping Center.  Born and raised in Michigan, I am a long time Meijer shopper but even more so now that I've got a full family.  When I leave my home to do things like shopping, I need to combine lists and tasks in order to get as many things done in a single trip.  At Meijer I can shop for school supplies, groceries, household needs, gardening supplies, clothing, and so much more.

        With the opportunity to find everything I need in a one stop shop, I can spend more time with my kids.  I am able to be a hands on Mom with still time left over for myself and the things I love to do.  I can garden during the warmer months, write more, and even sneak in my daily dose of Days of Our Lives!

How do you make more time for yourself?
