Mom Wife Career Life | Time Management & Work-Life Balance for Working Moms, Mindset, Healthy Habits, Positive Parenting 264. How To Survive Errands With Little Kids (and Actually Enjoy Leaving the House)
Hi mama,
Today, we’re tackling one of the universal challenges of motherhood… getting out of the house with little kids without losing your sanity. Remember those days when leaving for a “quick errand” required 47 steps, two outfit changes, and a miracle? This one’s for you.
As the holidays approach, errands multiply faster than the glitter in your living room. Between shopping, concerts, cookie swaps, and school events, it’s a lot. But here’s the thing: with a few intentional systems and mindset shifts, you can make it easier… and dare I say, enjoyable.
Inside This Episode, We’ll Talk About:
✔️ How to simplify packing with a grab-and-go “mini bag”
✔️ The magic of “entertainment packs” for different ages
✔️ Snack strategies (because snacks = sanity)
✔️ The “load the car first” trick every mom needs to know
✔️ Car kits, toy rules, and timing tips that make errands smoother
✔️ Mindset shifts that help you laugh through the chaos instead of crying through it
Because here’s the truth… some days will still be messy. Someone will spill, cry, or refuse to bend their legs into the car seat (we’ve all been there). But with a plan, a snack stash, and a sense of humor, you can survive even the most chaotic Target run.
And mama, if the holiday season has you juggling lists, shopping, and school events, grab my 🎁 free Christmas Planning Made Simple Guide 🎁 filled with checklists, planning pages, and sanity-saving shortcuts to help you stay organized and actually enjoy the season. 🎄✨
