How else can we be expected to hold it together while remembering to bring the nut-free-egg-free-dairy-free snack for preschool, return the overdue library books, arrive on-time to soccer, make that almost-homemade dinner, color our roots every 6 weeks, and use that gym membership that we've been paying for?! Oh, and do this all on less than 6 hours of sleep a night and often with a chorus of whining and screaming in the background, why don't you?

Packed with little tips, deals, fun bits, faves, and stories, I hope that you find this blog both helpful and encouraging.

I can't promise that these things will make being a mom easier, but I hope these posts give you a few shortcuts or "AHA!" ideas that allow you to take a few extra minutes for yourself because... Mama Needs Maintenance.

Busting the Old Navy Deal Buster

If you’re like me, there’s no feeling like getting a great deal.  Since the introduction of preschool paint and playground sandboxes, I’ve become quite the Old Navy patron.  The clothing is basic and cute, but cheap enough to not stress about the inevitable stains!  So when Old Navy has a deal buster, it is *dirt* cheap.  These deals are advertised in prime time commercials and only valid for a couple of days in the stores (not online). 

Problem: How do you get the Deal Buster $4 Girls’ Legging without having to lug two kids to Old Navy and wade through a pool of other moms-with-kids, searching for what feels to be the exact same size (which will, of course, be the only size already sold out…)? 

Solution: Go to Old Navy and purchase the advertised deal buster product a few days before the sale.  Old Navy has a 14-day price adjustment policy, so if you go into the store the day of the sale with your receipt, they will adjust your price.  This way, you have the advantage of no crowds and the sizes you need at the price you want.  OLD NAVY LOGO

Happy Shopping!
