Try It!

I tried something new yesterday. I had been thinking about trying it for a few weeks now. So I went ahead and did it. Afterwards I felt like a LAZY mother.


I went online, no shock there, and ordered my groceries. My "personal shopper" then shopped and bagged my groceries and had them ready for me as I drove up to the front of the store in the designated, "Big Y to Go" area. I gave her my credit card, she scanned it and and then loaded my WEEKS WORTH of groceies into my trunk. The enitre round trip took less than 15 minutes! I didn't have to unload 2 children and force my 2 year old into a cart, I didn't have to listen to Hannah ask for cookies and candy that she KNOWS she cannot have and I didn't forgot ANYTHING! It was so nice. My only job was putting the groceies away at home, which I can totally handle!

I did feel kind of LAZY, and I will not do it every week. But it's been a very busy week and the weekend only get busier. Now I can check the grocery store off of my to-do list and spend some extra time with my family.

The process does cost $10, but when you are spending MUCH MUCH MORE than that on groceries, it is totally worth it. If you have a BIG Y near you, check it out:

Pretzels anyone?

Normally when I grocery shop, I go by myself. It it just so much easier to not have a preschooler and toddler with you when you are trying to accomplish...anything. But I have been lazy the last few days since Lee has been off from work and we have been focusing on doing fun family things. This morning was back to work for him and back to reality for the rest of us. So we brought Hannah to preschool and then headed to the grocery store. Camden LOVES Stop and Shop, I really don't know why. He literally squealed with joy when we pulled in to the parking lot. He was SO good in the store but I ended up buying things I had never intended on buying...

1. A Thomas the Train Ball
2. Trix Yogurt...I always buy the Yo-Baby, healthy stuff
3. Pretzels...Lee, Hannah and I don't like them, I hope Camden is planning to eat pretzels for snack for the next,,,oh-month! It's a giant bag!

I know it is my own fault, I should not give in to him. I just REALLY wanted to avoid a grocery store meltdown. I needed to get some groceries and did't have time to leave the store if he had a good ole 2 year-old, kicking and screaming fit.

You know...one of these...

Who Am I Kidding?

I think I have Spring/Summer Fever. (I am only kidding myself though.)

I went to the mall today. I spent way too much money. But my children now each have an entire Spring/Summer wardrobe. You name it, I bought it. Tank tops, t-shirts, shorts, skirts, sundresses, bathing suits, hats,sandals, sunglasses and towels. I left the mall feeling great, like summer was near, like I had accomplished something. Then I got home...and realized that we still have TONS of snow and a LONG way to go before summer-BOO!!!
