If there is one question that I get asked over and over again on balancing motherhood, marriage, and work, it is “How are you able to do it all?” I’d like to think that I have everything well balanced, yet there are days that I feel like I’m part of a “one woman circus” since I’m juggling many roles and tasks. I think many women can relate to this, whether they have a 9-5 job, work at home, or a stay at home mother since we all have our obligations. It isn’t easy in the least. There have also been days where I have felt beyond stressed and overwhelmed to where I could hardly muster up the energy to do it all. We all have our limits. It has come with years of practice and unyielding determination in learning how to balance everything better, not perfectly, and knowing not to overexert myself.
If there is a key for a better-balanced life, it is simplicity. Time is of the essence, thus I always look for ways to simplify my life. One thing I often struggle with simplifying is shopping with my children. It can be a hassle at times in getting them ready. It’s more of a hassle when we go to the store and they practically want everything in sight. I can now easily understand what my mother went through when she took me shopping with her since I was the same way as a child.
This is why I love the concept of services like Google Express. It’s shopping made easy! I can shop at my favorite stores such as PetSmart, Whole Foods Market, Barnes & Noble, The Vitamin Shoppe, and Target in the comfort of my own home.
I can enjoy my weekends better! It’s one less errand that I have to run when shopping in the comfort of my home from my favorite stores at Google Express. I can purchase everyday items from grocery items and household supplies to beauty products and clothing.
I also can’t help but marvel at the fact that I can shop at Whole Foods Market anytime I want without having to travel over 100 miles to the nearest location! Since I spent over $15 on my online order, I was eligible for free shipping.
My recent shipment from Google Express included my tried and true favorites such as Numi Organics Savory Garden Sampler Tea, Yerba Prima Tampico Skin Brush, Savannah Bee Royal Jelly Body Butter with Chamomile and Myrrh, 365 Organic Refined Coconut Oil, Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, and Cucina Antica Organic Tomato Ketchup.
They have a same-day, overnight, or 2-day delivery. This ensured that I received everything in a timely manner!

Wow..the world is one click away. Amazing! Thanks for sharing about Google Express. Shopping become much easier with this system. I wish we have it here in Belgium.
Great offer! I need to try this service. It would be so convenient for me once the baby comes too.
That sounds like a lot of fun! I love Amazon and this sounds very similar. Did I tell you that my daughter is a professor at IU-Bloomington? Small world!
Anything that makes my life easier especially for shopping sounds amazing!!! I had not heard of google express before, it sounds amazing!

I am going to have to try Google Express. This is the first time I am hearing about it. I often wonder how our parents or grandparents managed with all their children, often one income, and no Internet!
Google Express sound amazing way to shop. It not only saves time but it can also save you money you spend on gas going from store to store. I will have to check this out and share with my sisters too. Thanks for sharing the information.
I had no idea this even existed. I am excited to try it out. I hate running errands with my kids so I’ll try and order anything I can online.
Sometimes I wonder how we manage to multi task so many things at the same time and it can be overwhelming. Google Express sounds like the perfect aid though!
Looks like a good option! I need to try this and I think they have a great service.
This sounds like such a great service! I’m too busy to run to the stores most days so this would be perfect. Thanks for the promo codes!
Having 4 kids can make running errands difficult. This sounds like the perfect solution!
This sounds awesome. It would be nice to be able to get the things that you need at home without actually leaving the house, it’s easier for busy moms like us! I think this is a great service and it’s worth taking advantage of!
Interesting! I haven’t heard of Google Express before, but it definitely sounds like something I should be looking into. I love shopping online – one less place to drag my kids is a good thing in my book!

Google Express sounds like something I need. I love doing online shopping as it is. I’m going to be checking this out. I love the idea of Google Express.
Sounds like another great service that Google offers. I honestly think that they will surpass Walmart as America’s favorite place to shop if they keep it up.
Love that Google has this feature. I had no idea… yet I shop online all the time! I am going to check that out and see how I can save money and shop from the comfort of my couch! 😉

I love online shopping, but I haven’t tried Google Express yet. Sounds like the answer to every super busy mom’s prayer. 🙂

This sounds like a dream come true. I often feel like I have to go to several different stores to get all the things I need for my family.
Oh my goodness! My family uses Amazon Prime a lot! Like to the point that our Mailman takes the effort to come and say hi to see who’s been getting a parcel close to every day! I will definitely look into this. Our lives need all the help it can get!
This looks cool. I’ll have to check it out. I spied many of my favorite items above. 🙂

Omg I wish they did Trader Joe. I would be in heaven. I didn’t realize how many stores were on Google express.
I had no idea that there was even such a thing as Google Express! This sounds like exactly what I need to be that super mom that everyone already thinks that I am 😉
This sounds so helpful for any busy mom! I am looking forward to trying out Google Express. It’s like having a concierge right in the palm of your hand.
This is just like Amazon Prime! I can’t believe how much technology has evolved. Nowadays you can get groceries delivered to your house. I don’t know if I would trust buying everything online, but I think I can for boxed and canned food.
Google Express sounds like a very convenient service for moms. I mean, who has time to raise a family, work, take care of hubby, and shop for the best deals?
You rock with the coupon, thank you! I haven’t heard of this before, but I want to give it a try!
This is the first time I’ve heard of Google Express. I will definitely have to check out this service since it sounds beyond convenient!
I have never heard about this before but love the idea! I just tried the Wal-Mart grocery delivery and about cried tears of joy how nice it was not to waddle my 9-month pregnant body in for groceries!
Shopping from the comfort of my own home sounds amazing! No need to load up the car and plan out a day of errands – just a few clicks and I can be done. I’m in!
I can have Whole Foods delivered? No way! I love to grocery shop in person but when life is crazy this is an awesome option.
This service sounds like something I could definitely use. I shop online a lot and this would be soooo perfect!
Google is taking over the world, I’m convinced! I wanted to try this service, as it looks so convenient for those crazy (don’t have time to leave the house) days. I think my wallet is in trouble, though!
That’s a great concept! This is sure to make shopping so much easier. They don’t seem to have it available in Canada yet! Maybe soon?
wow, google express looks like a winner! thanks for sharing this, I’ll have to check it out!
