how-to-simplify-your-pregnancy-with-grocery-delivery-and--meals-from-friends.jpg Pregnancy should be a FUN time!

When you’re feeling tired and oh-so-pregnant, take all the shortcuts you can.

Here are 4 of my favorite ways to simplify life, before and after baby arrives!

 

Having a maid or a secretary would help

…wouldn’t it?

No matter what your budget —

there are ways to outsource those tiresome tasks.

 

1.  GROCERY SHOPPING:

  • $:  Send your husband to the store with a detailed list.  You can study the sale ads at home at SundaySaver.com.

  • $$:  Some chains, like Harris-Teeter, let you pre-order groceries online and drive-thru for pickup–without even leaving the car.

  • $$$:  Investigate local food delivery companies like PlumGood Foods, which will drive milk, eggs, produce and meat to your front door.

2.  BUYING FOR BABY: 

  • Limit yourself to 1 mega-store like Babies ‘R Us or Target.  You really can do it all at one stop.

  • Order all basics online with free shipping — even diapers!  Check out Amazon.com’s baby store or online versions of your favorite B & M.

  • Don’t stand in line at Walgreen’s!  Announce the birth from home with TinyPrints.com‘s modern and unique stationery.

3.  FEEDING THE FAMILY:

  • $:  See if your church or mom’s group has a dinner delivery ministry.  You may be blessed with meals at your doorstep!

  • $$:  Get together with some girlfriends for a freezer cooking session.  Bonus:  makes a wonderful baby shower occasion!

  • $$$:  Book a meal prep session at a franchise like Dream Dinners.  Everything’s chopped and ready — you assemble.

4.  NESTING, aka FRANTIC HOUSECLEANING IN A HURRY!

  • $:  Sign up for FlyLady’s free coaching service.  She’ll whip your house into shape with 15 minutes a day.

  • $:  Schedule a pickup by one of your favorite charities. You’ll be less cluttered, if not more organized. 

  • $$:  Splurge on a one-time visit from Merry Maids.  This was the best baby gift I’ve ever received!

 

What are you doing to simplify your pregnant life?  I’d love to know!

I’m a wife, mom of 4, and resident of Brentwood, Tennessee. I love finding fun new things for my family to see and do in Brentwood and the Nashville area! In addition to writing about Brentwood, I also spent a year blogging at The Fun Times Guide about my pregnancy with baby #3.

About Us

AvatarI’m a new mom. I work from home and I write — mostly about my outdoor adventures, DIY projects, newly discovered products, and helpful tips as a first-time mom. I also like to share details about the alternative choices I’m exploring as I enjoy this journey called motherhood. My family includes a toddler, 2 stepchildren, 1 dog, 1 cat, and a wonderful husband. My pre-pregnancy life was full of freedom and adventure, so I have a fresh new perspective when it comes to walking away from a career to become a full time stay-at-home Mama.

DellaI’m a stay-at-home mom and writer. Having experienced the joys and discomforts of pregnancy 3 times, I have a lot of advice to offer expecting mothers. I’m committed to providing new moms with an in-depth and honest view on pregnancy -- so you’ll have a better idea of what to expect and a good feel for what pregnancy is really like.
