Batching Errands For The Win With Walmart & Pennzoil #DropShopAndOil

#DropShopAndOil-Pennzoil Collage

I just finished creating the curriculum for a course I am teaching at SoFabU in Mastering Time Management.  One of the tips in the course is batching your errands.  I really don’t know anywhere I can batch more diverse errands than at a Walmart Supercenter.  It’s almost like a contest for me of how many things can be taken care of in one trip.  This past Saturday I dropped my van off at the Walmart Automotive Care Center and did a #DropShopAndOil.

Pennzoil-#DropShopAndOil-1

#DropShopAndOil Hours

With the holidays behind us, it was time to catch up with some needed maintenance tasks on the vehicle that carries my family around all year.  An oil change with Pennzoil motor oil was the first thing on the agenda.  So driving the van around the back of the store to the Automotive Care Center entrance was the first step.  We then entered and stepped up to the counter to pick the service we wanted.   Penzoil 8

We had a very helpful associate named who assisted us and helped us pick the best Pennzoil motor oil for our van.

Penzoil 6

All Pennzoil products help clean out sludge lesser oils leave behind. Pennzoil is engineered for complete protection that will allow you to drive an extra 550 miles per year vs a dirty engine. No other motor oil provides better protection from friction.

With the help of our associate we chose the High Mileage Vehicle Pennzoil and it helps reduce leaks and oil consumption in higher mileage engines.  It is specifically designed for new or late-model vehicles with over 75,000 miles, to help keep the engines running clean and going strong for a long time.  Walmart Auto Care Center Oil Changes are a lot less than I would pay at the dealership, so I save time and money!  Our Walmart Auto Care Center is open 7 days a week making it super convenient.

With our van in good hands, it was off to get the little guy a hair cut!

Penzoil 3

Then of course we took a stroll through the toy department for some great shark theme toys.  Can you tell his newest interest is sharks?

After that, off to grocery shop.

After checking out our groceries, we went back to the Automotive Care Center to pick up our van.

Starting on 1/21/15 you can save $5 off one 5-quart bottle of Pennzoil Platinum with PurePlus Technology. Click HERE For the Special Offer!  Hair cut, grocery shopping, and a well needed oil change with Pennzoil in one trip!  That is power batching errands for the win!  I would love to hear about your most successful batching errands adventures, leave  a comment letting me know!

Tips For Creating A Safe Nursery & Giveaway To Win A Fresh Air Crib Liner ™ by SootheTime

Part of the fun and excitement of planning for a new baby is decorating the nursery. Picking out the furniture, wall color, decor and of course the bedding for the crib make it all seem real.  With the controversy over the safety of crib bumpers, some new parents feel it is safer not to use them.  Even though they feel it’s safer without the bumpers, not many could deny, the cribs look empty without them.  Some bumper alternatives look strange and are not available with any coordinating bedding.

If you can relate to this, I want to share good news about the Fresh Air Crib Liner ™ by SootheTIME, part of the Just Born family. This crib bumper alternative is adjustable and fits most cribs with a mesh liner that locks in place and provides fresh airflow for baby.

The Fresh Air Crib Liner ™ gives parents less to worry about while creating a safe and comfy environment for baby to sleep.  The Fresh Air Crib Liner ™ is now available at Target and they can receive a $5.00 rebate using this link.

Some other great tips for creating a safe and healthy nursery are to skip composite wood furniture because it contains formaldehyde, solid wood is the safer choice.  Organic crib mattresses are a safe sleeping option, but if you have a conventional mattress, you can cover it with a cover not made of PVC.

If you are painting baby’s walls opt for a zero VOC paint and paint as far in advance of baby coming home as possible so there is ample time to thoroughly air out the room. It’s best to go with a bare flooring like bamboo or cork  over carpet and make sure that you do not use products that are treated with Microban because it contains the chemical toxin triclosan.

If you’re using area rugs, washable rugs are best and if you do have carpet, vacuum often using a vacuum equipped with a hepa filter.  For accent decor and toys make sure that you are decorating with safe items.  Those vintage finds may look nice but what’s lurking in them?  Avoid using or buying anything containing BPA, Phthalates, PVC, Latex, Lead, and Flame Retardants.

With some careful planning you can create a nursery that’s safe and inviting for your new addition.
