So once you have a baby-everything changes, including going to the grocery store. No longer is it a quick trip to just pick up a few things! Today I was thankful that the Kroger that I go to has a parking garage. You may wonder why this is so nice-but it has been raining ALL DAY! It’s so nice to not be standing out in the rain trying to get Savannah in the car plus the groceries in–which leads me to yet another challenge at the grocery store. The CARTS! Now why wouldn’t they put some type of brake on those things. It is already challenging trying to maneuver a moderately heavy baby carrier into the car with as little space they give you between cars, but while I’m trying to maneuver the baby, my cart inevitably begins to roll. What’s a girl to do? I don’t know if this happens to other people, but it seems to happen quite often to me.

On another note…Kroger is having a big sale on kids books. I know, you wouldn’t think to buy books at Kroger, but it surprised me too. In the middle of the Valentine’s aisles, they had two huge bins of children’s books-and most of them were less than $5, and some as cheap as $1.99! Unlike my sister who has been collecting children’s books her whole life, I am just now beginning my collection for my children. Books aren’t cheap, but I have found great deals at Costco, consignment stores, and now Kroger! Be sure to check it out (if you have a Kroger!)
