Loading two kids in and out of the car running errands is so exhausting. I’ve learned to be really choosy about the errands we run. One thing I learned from motherhood early on, was to do any hack to make it easier. My #1 tip is Walmart’s Next Day Delivery. I really don’t know how anyone was a mom before 2019 when you an get just about anything delivered to your doorstep.

Last week after we got back from Palm Springs I noticed we were really low on diapers for Wilder and I was just about out of my favorite deodorant. Instead of shlepping the kids to the store during witching hour I took five minutes during Crosby’s nap, ordered them on Walmart and had them at my front door less than 24 hours later.

There is seriously nothing better. I plan my errands around Crosby’s nap schedule and really prioritize which ones I want to run with the kids… anything we don’t get to, or I don’t want to do with the kids I turn to Walmart. It’s such a life saver.

Details on Walmart Next Day Delivery:

• Free, no extra cost, sign up or membership fee.
• Free with order of $35 or more on Next Day eligible items.
• Available Monday through Friday, cut off times vary by zip code.
• If you enter “Next Day” Mode on your phone you can see everything that’s available for Next Day shipping.

My most frequently purchased for Next Day delivery:

diapers

formula

bottles – these are what I use with Wilder

baby wipes

laundry detergent

deodorant

white onesies for Wilder (he’s growing so fast and these are my favorite)

toothpaste

Other Tips:

Next Day delivery would also be helpful if you have school-aged kids and need supplies/something for a project.

It’s great if you’re planning a party, so many cute decorations are available for Next Day delivery.

If you’re packing for a vacation and notice you’re low on travel sized toiletries, it saves you a trip to the store.

on me: t-shirt, similar jeans

on Wilder: onesie 

deodorant, diapers

When I was pregnant I had so many thoughts on how things would be once Crosby arrived. Like every first time mom I only wanted the best for her – the best car seat, bassinet, diapers, wipes, etc. I planned to exclusively breast feed, but sometimes things don’t go according to plan.

The first few weeks with a newborn are rough and nothing can really prepare you for it. When I was pregnant everyone told me to get all the sleep I could because once the baby arrived I’d be a zombie. And I did because I never had a problem sleeping or got to an uncomfortable stage in my pregnancy – I was lucky. However, once Crosby arrived I turned into that sleep deprived zombie everyone warned me about. It was hard to see it as temporary and imagine life on the other side.

At first, starting a baby registry seemed really daunting. There were so many new items we needed and I didn’t really know where to start. For a few months Jeff and I were both researching products and narrowing down what we thought we’d need. We also talked to a lot of friends with kids and consulted Pinterest. I know our baby isn’t here yet, but I’m feeling pretty prepared “stuff” wise and wanted to share my guide to registering.
