We’re excited to follow up on a brand that we talked about during Ep. 143 of The Mom Voice, Treadly! You can go listen to us chat about it here. Treadly is one of the newest treadmill’s on the market and we’re sort of blown away with its design! It has a really sleek look and is one of the smallest, most low-profile treadmills out there.
As you know, I’m training for a half marathon in February (yikes!), so I’ve taken note on all things in the running world. And being totally honest, I actually prefer to run on a treadmill. I think it keeps me at a consistent, good pace and I love seeing the calories I’m burning along with the distance ran. For me, these stats are big motivators and keeps me going on the run – not to mention, accountable!
Treadly is so cool you guys – at only 73 pounds and 3.7 inches thick, it’s never been easier to work out at home or the office. It can easily be stored under your bed, totally out of the way, which is huge! Sarah is always telling me how annoying it is that her treadmill takes up so much space in her room.
The Treadly also comes with an app that helps you set goals and track your runs, really allowing you to see the progress you’ve made. The app also has an awesome social aspect that allows you to connect with a community to help motivate you with tips and support (which is huge!) This all comes included when you purchase a Treadly treadmill. The deliver it to your door, pull it out of the box and then you’re ready to get going.
Running has seriously been one of the hardest things for me my whole life. Having the convenience to run in my home whenever I need to, during any time of the day, would be so helpful! Treadly makes it convenient and easy for every runner, even beginners like me. Running really is the best overall workout you can do. To be able to catch up on your favorite show and still have the kids around, the Treadly treadmill makes it possible for everyone.
Right now they’re having a great holiday sale, offering a $100 off plus free shipping. And if you’re not happy with Treadly, they have a 30-day return policy. So, if you’ve been wanting a treadmill but have never felt like you had enough room for one – make sure to checkout Treadly. It’s a great option for home or the office. So, go take a minute to look over all the special features Treadly has to offer here!
I have to share a new tool that I’ve come across that’s helping me manage my days. If you’ve listened to Lauren & I much on the pod, then you know how crazy I can feel at times trying to keep life a little organized. As a full-time working mom of 3 it can definitely feel overwhelming when managing kids’ schedules, appointments, the podcast, family, church and so. much. more. (am I right?).
So, I felt like I needed to tell you about Sunsama and how it’s really helped me get the most out of my days. Sunsama is a unique tool that has a really intuitive design. Technology like this is so impressive to me, really!
I’ve been really impressed with how it can integrate all of my tasks into a daily calendar that really helps me prioritize and stay on track (and let’s be real… staying on track throughout the day can be a HUGE hurdle for me – it’s so easy to get distracted and then end the day feeling like I haven’t accomplished anything!)
But let me explain a little further… with Sunsama, you’re able to connect your Outlook, Gmail, calendars, and so much more. It pulls in all the data from these different sources and gives you a consolidated look at things (which I can seriously appreciate). So, I’m now able to see my work, podcast, personal, church, daughter’s dance calendar all in one place! And let me just say, not having to keep track of what feels like 300 different apps & calendars has been so nice!
So, if you’re feeling a need to simplify your schedule, go give it a try! Sunsama has a free 14-day trial here so you can test it out before committing. I really do think that it’s a wonderful tool for the busy mom. And if you do try it, let me know what you think!
OK, time to get going on the laundry! Have a great week. xo – Sarah
Happy Wednesday! We got a lot of requests for the chore charts I showed on Instagram – so here you go! A free download that you can use for your family.
But first, a little overview of how we’ve been using them successfully in my home…
Each child has their own, personalized Daily Chore Chart. In the version I’ve provided, you can write your child’s name on the top-right of the paper and then list the chores along the left-hand side.
Here’s How We Use the Daily Chore Chart
Each morning, my kids have 3 chores to do before school or tv/play on the weekends. Those are:
Make Bed
Brush Teeth
a little task around the house
These are things that each child is responsible for in the morning and something that I feel like they can do successfully. We hang these charts on the wall outside of their bedrooms so they can check them off throughout the week. (And they find SO MUCH satisfaction out of crossing off the days!)
The Daily Chore Chart, customized for each child.
The first chore each child is asked to do each day is make their bed!
Sarah’s 6 year old boy has taken to it the most
The Family Chore Chart is used to do family chores around the house… or chose that we all benefit from. I rotate these out from week to week depending on the needs of our home. Some of my common house chores are:
Unloading the dishwasher
Loading the dishwasher
Checking the mail
Taking out the trash
Checking the dog’s food/water
Walking the dog
Vacuuming the family room
(Just to name a few!)
A Couple More Tips:
So, feel free to download these and use them for your family! They’re pretty flexible and can be used for a variety of ages. xo – Sarah
