Walmart Grocery Pickup Update


I wanted to give a quick update on our latest experience.  I am happy to report we worked out the kinks on this second order.  I was extra mindful to select which items I didn’t want a substitute for and I went to do the pick up this time instead of my husband, basically so I could see the system at work. 
Upon arriving to the designated parking, 2 attendants came out with everything. 1 came to my window to let me know that they had a few substitutions; which I fully expected on a weekend.  We were upgraded on items - from a half gallon to a gallon on milk and better brand names on items they were out of.  They were completely out of 1 item with no substitution and they had 1 substitution that I let them know we didn’t want.  The attendant stated that wasn’t a problem and took that item off of our bill.  She then notified the attendant that was loading groceries into my trunk that when she got to the substitution bag to remove that item.  I never had to leave my son or the air conditioning of my vehicle, which made me feel really lazy, but amazed at the same time.  I was asked if I would like the delicate items (eggs, bread) on the passenger’s seat and those were handed to me. Once the trunk was loaded I signed the keypad and was on my way.
We had no issues upon unloading everything at home. Produce was all spot on, good selections and dates this time.  The bagging was impeccable.  All refrigerated items were grouped together.  Bags had colored labels to denote substitutions and fragile items.  I marveled at the organization and all the time I had gotten back into my day numerous times while my husband and I unpacked the groceries.  He jokingly told our kids, “you mom is never setting foot in a grocery store again.” You know he is probably right!  I could sit and have lunch with the rest of the family and play in the yard with them all afternoon, whereas normally I would be gone over 2 hours doing something I dread. I set up my Walmart pay account so my Savings Catcher money will flow over and we can redeem those savings on future grocery purchases.  For 2 weeks of groceries I probably had to invest 30 minutes – including meal planning, building the list on the grocery app and picking up the groceries. If you are struggling to find a little more time in your busy life; I highly recommend.  A definite win for mom!

10 Organization Tips to Manage Digital and Paper Clutter

(Edited and reposted from 1/16/17 blog post that accidentally got deleted) I am a little behind on my new year/get organized post because I went and had a baby 2 weeks ago ;) I wanted to share a quick list of things you can implement today to help organize the digital chaos and control the paper clutter in your life. 1)    Set up a Secondary Email Account I have a separate email account for stores and online shopping.   This is the email address I give out at checkout and for online purchases.   Makes it super easy when out shopping to do a quick search for coupons and easy to locate tracking information as well as receipts you’ve opted to have emailed to you. 2)    Unsubscribe Unsubscribe from any newsletters or email lists you no longer find beneficial.   If you find yourself constantly deleting without opening, unsubscribe.   I should also add read and delete emails every day.   A cluttered email inbox, especially if it is a p...

I love to highlight game changing products! It is no secret I LOVE organizing, like something could be clinically wrong with me.  I can't get enough of Pinterest because of this, shopping at The Container Store and Ikea (yes please!). There used to be a show on TV called The Amanda's, about a group of professional organizers from Alabama that went into homes and organized problem spaces.  I would have worked for them if they were local.  (Do yourself a favor and follow them on Instagram @theamandasorganizing) If you want to follow my Organization Porn (it's a real thing) Pin with me on Pinterest "Organize It" Pinterest board Anyway, in January I joined this fabulous company, Initials, Inc. as an Independent Creative Partner. ( https://www.myinitials-inc.com/kaceyk ) I love their products, the affordability, quality and their free personalization.  I have a great kit full of products, but today my first order came with items I chose, with my pre...

Just a Stage

Today on the way to Play School (think pre-pre school) I caught a glimpse of you in the back seat. All handsome and quietly looking out the window. How are we in this stage; where you now leave mommy to spend time with other adults and children while I run errands with your baby brother? Childhood, and parenthood for that matter, are just a string of stages we carefully, yet optimistically navigate. In your dad and my case case we tend to look back more than forward it seems. We were just lamenting the other night how, in what feels like days, your vocabulary has changed. No longer do you say "structions" (instructions) or "The kea" (Ikea). When we still use your toddler slang, you now correct us. You no longer wake in the night or give us much grief at bedtime. You are even allowing us to take your picture again. Quietly and swiftly we have moved into this preschool stage. This stage where you are becoming more and more independent. You wa...
