Simplify in 2021

I know most of us have just come off of one of the most challenging years.  I was definitely counting down to 2021.  I love a new year and a fresh start, and this year more than ever.  I do feel like 2020 taught me a lot of things, so for that I am grateful.  It made me truly slow down and appreciate the things I have.  It forced me to really prioritize and I am taking those lessons with me into the new year.  I am not a huge resolutions girl, but one of my goals for this year is to simplify. I want to spend my time focused on what really matters and outsource the things that I can.

One of the things I really want to cut down on is errands.  I feel like I spend a huge amount of time running tons of errands that anyone could do.  It is not a task that specifically needs ME.  They are things that need to get done, but can be done by someone else.  Anyone else feel that way?  My time is so much better spent helping my kids with homework, pillow fights, family games, etc vs walking through the grocery store!

Last year I shared that I discovered Walmart+ and that has been a huge game changer for me.  I had previously used another grocery delivery company, but Walmart+ is SO MUCH BETTER.  I can order groceries AND other things I have on my list.  Kills 2 birds with 1 stone!  Our family always has an ongoing list of things we need.   Groceries and random things like socks, something for sports, school spirit week costume that I get zero notice on, something for a class project, a friends birthday coming up, etc.  You know . . . MOM LIFE (or life in general).  Now, instead of running several errands to a bunch of different stores, I can get online and order everything I need from Walmart to be delivered to my home as soon as same day!  Saves me SO MUCH TIME!

I love seeing this on my front porch!

Everything I need delivered right to my door while I am working or doing more important things like this. . .

There is only so much longer my shoulders will make a great chair while watching TV, that Braden will grab my pony tail and ask me to giddy up like a pony and Avery will want to take selfies with me.  I don’t want to miss any of it if I can help it.
