i LOVE this photo. please look at miss lucy claire’s hair and facial expression.
one of the questions i’m most often asked is HOW DO YOU GROCERY SHOP???
with a husband who isn’t here to help, and four kids…people are curious about it.
well…here you go! i present to you the strategically stuffed grocery cart!!
i was SO proud of myself. see how the food is stacked around lucy on the side? well it was the same on the other side of her. 🙂
and underneath the cart was strategically packed as well.
think jenga. if you remove one piece, it all would have tumbled down. HA!
so this is how we shop. and the bigs walk with me.
yes i am crazy, and yes we do it weekly.
now…since i’ve been seriously couponing i have much more of a stocked pantry. so our trips have been a bit lighter. this week was the exception, as we’d been out of town for 3 weeks.
did i mention i’m pretty proud of myself? hehehe!
i giggle at the thought that i used to think grocery shopping with two was stressful. i also think it’s funny when i hear that it’s impossible to grocery shop with kids. so untrue. it just takes patience and planning. oh, and lots of distractions.
sometimes i’m walking around publix with two girls sucking lollypops (i tell them they may NOT under any circumstances bite them until we check out),holding my clipboard with one hand,pen in my mouth, whilst pushing the cart with my stomach so that i can squeak sophie the giraffe for the babies. HAHAH! i am THAT crazy lady, aren’t i?
note:the babies are now ready to move out of the carrier car seats. so we will have to go to kroger instead of publix, i guess. kroger has the double seats in the front of the cart!
another note: i’ll be compiling a list of the sc,amy tangerine,and flybagz winners this afternoon. look for another post soon!
xoxo
