Favor: Going Above and Beyond for Texas Moms

This post is brought to you by Favor

This summer, Alamo City Moms invites you to meet the delivery app Texas moms love: Favor.

There’s no time of year that is harder on moms than summer. The kids are home from school every day, bored and in search of endless entertainment. They go from a sensible three meals per day (and one of those at school!) to a diet of 5,000 snacks by 11am. Camps require advanced planning, and there is always, always a stack of wet towels in need of washing. The days are long, the mosquitos are fierce – and the heat index going off the charts is just the icing on the cake.

The pressure to keep everyone happy, fed, and sunburn-free can be overwhelming! Luckily, Favor can take some of the load off your shoulders. Whether you need to restock the pantry with goldfish, the freezer with popsicles, or the bottle of sunscreen is almost dry – no app delivers more for Texas moms than Favor.

The Superhero of Summer

No mom wants to be caught out without a plentiful supply of snacks in summer, and I am no exception. Whether your kids are still in the goldfish and animal cracker phase like mine, or have moved on to more sophisticated – and balanced! – options, there’s nothing worse than being asked for snacks when the pantry is nearly empty.

Favor is part of the H-E-B family, which means I can trust that I’ll always get the food I love. There is no one more brand loyal than a toddler! From Lone Stars to Twisters, freshly made tortillas and Texas-sized cashews, I know I can rely on the app to deliver the H-E-B brand items I would select for myself at the grocery store — even allowing me to filter and view only “H-E-B brands,” all in one place. Favor has options everyone in the family will love — no matter how picky your kids may be.

It isn’t just snacks that you need a plentiful supply of in summer: San Antonio must-haves include popsicles, ice cream, sunscreen, after-sun lotion, over-the-counter allergy medicines, and bug spray. Whether it’s ice cream or first aid, I truly believe in the Girl Scout motto: be prepared. If I do find myself unprepared — delivery is the next best thing!

The Summer Soirée

Picture the scene: you invite your mom friends to your house after lunch one weekend. The kids all head to the neighborhood pool or to a movie, while you enjoy a couple of blissful, quiet hours catching up on what everyone has been doing. At almost 4 p.m., you pop the last bottle of champagne for mimosas and everyone starts to feel hungry. You don’t want to stop the party — especially without the kids there to worry about — but you don’t have the makings of dinner for 5.

Enter Favor: how Texas moms order in.

Keep the party feeling flowing with a delivery of bubbles from H-E-B beer and wine — not forgetting the all-important juices, mixers, and garnishes that really make a soirée go off with a bang. You’ll find all the favorites you usually buy, so you can top up their glasses seamlessly. Anybody hungry? Order up everything you need for the perfect charcuterie board — cheese, meats, fruits, crackers, nuts and nibbles — or buy one pre-made from the H-E-B deli.

Summer is the perfect time to get family together, but as hosts we can end up feeling like we just have more people to cook for and clean-up after than usual. Thankfully, Favor goes above and beyond for Texas moms. From keeping you fully stocked with cleaning supplies and Texas-inspired welcome gifts for your guests; to a huge range of freshly prepared appetizers and sides, ready-to-grill meats, and pre-cut fruit trays, Favor helps you spend less time cooking and more time connecting.

The Cool Mom

Moms of tweens and teens don’t just want to be regular moms, they want to be cool moms. I think we all want to have “that house” where kids feel happy, welcome, and comfortable getting together — and a steady supply of snacks and sodas, invites to stay for dinner, and getting their favorite food delivered are all ways to cement your status as one of the coolest moms in your neighborhood.

As well as the groceries and staples you expect from your H-E-B, Favor works with a large number of local eateries to deliver food to your door in 45 minutes or less. From fast food favorites like Whataburger to trendy Boba tea drinks, classic breakfast tacos and Chipotle bowls – there are all the local restaurants you love, delivered by the app Texas moms trust. It’s fast, it’s easy, and they’ll always be able to find something they love to eat.

The days of summer are long, and there are always plenty of curveballs along the way. Dealing with everyone’s needs and wants around the clock can be exhausting — and moms deserve a break, too. If you’re craving ice cream or in the mood for s’mores, get all the fixin’s delivered to your door in less than a hour. Or, make life easy — get dinner delivered tonight and simplify mealtime!

However chaotic this summer feels, Favor goes above and beyond for Texas moms. Use the code ALAMO24 for a $20 delivery credit (expires 8/25/2024).
