Weekend Vibes & Time-Saving Helpers 🧺🍽️🧼


Hey, Reader.

Heading into the weekend and thinking about all the little things that still need to get done? If your to-do list is looking a little too ambitious (again), here’s a quick round-up of helpful household services that can lighten the load — especially if you're juggling mom life, work, and everything in between.

🧺 Laundry Services

Let someone else handle the piles:

  • Wash & Fold (drop-off): $1.25–$2.50/lb
  • Pickup & Delivery: $1.75–$3.00/lb (usually a 15–20 lb min)
  • Weekly Laundry Subscriptions: $40–$100+/week

🍽️ Meal Options That Save Your Sanity

Whether you want to heat and eat or still enjoy cooking (without planning), these can help:

  • Prepared meals: $9–$15 each from local meal prep services or subscriptions like Freshly
  • Meal kits: $5–$13/serving (think HelloFresh, EveryPlate, etc.)
  • Grocery store meal kits & deli dinners: $10–$25
  • Family-style takeout bundles: $25–$60 (feeds 3–6)

🛒 Grocery Solutions

Even grocery runs can be more hands-off:

  • Delivery (Instacart, Amazon Fresh, Walmart+): $3.99–$7.99/order (or free with a membership)
  • Curbside Pickup: Free at most major stores — order ahead, pop the trunk, and go

🧼 House Cleaning Support

Because a clean home shouldn’t cost your entire weekend:

  • Standard cleaning: $100–$200
  • Deep cleaning: $200–$400+
  • Hourly rate for independent cleaners: $25–$50/hour

Even outsourcing one task can make space for rest, connection, or just catching your breath.

So if your weekend needs a little less doing and a little more breathing room, this list might be just the thing. 💫

You’ve got this,

Hey, Reader. 🛑 Stop trying to be everything to everybody. Your consistent pursuit of being the solution -- or coming up with the solution -- for everyone's problems is making you overwhelmed, exhausted & resentful. You can't be everything. You're not supposed to be. Even with your kids -- you're just supposed to be their mom. You don't have to have all the answers. You don't have to be the most creative or the most entertaining. You simply need to be present, healthy & happy. Your mental load...

Hey, Reader. I used to find it very difficult not to blame myself for things, even if they seemed outside of my control. I've learned that some things, even under our best intentions, just don't go our way. And that's ok. For example, I used to believe being punctual was a badge of honor. "I’m promotable, because I’m on time". Or "I’m a good friend, because I’m always on time". In reality, I just had less things in my way of being on time. When my daughter was a toddler, I would up at 5am and...

Hey, Reader. Happy April!! I've shared a couple times over this last quarter that I was in hibernation. I wasn't keeping my head down just to pop up with some new...thing.
