Dear Little Ones in My Shopping Cart,

I just wanted to say how much I enjoy our little adventures together—whether it’s the grocery store, the mall, or even the post office. The dry cleaners? Oh, don’t get me started! There’s something special about unbuckling you, carrying you across the parking lot, and then juggling a mountain of clothes while searching for my keys with just one finger. It’s like a mini workout, right?

Now that we’ve got plenty of errands ahead of us (cue dreamy smile), I thought I’d jot down a few reminders to make the most of our time together.

Shopping Tips for Our Adventures

First off, when we stroll into the supermarket, please feel free to start a mini meltdown over the type of cart I picked. What better way to make a memorable entrance and possibly attract some fellow mom friends? Remember, the louder, the better!

After about thirty seconds, you’ll probably decide the front seat isn’t thrilling enough anymore. So, go ahead and climb onto the back of the cart—this gives you prime access to all that fresh produce. Be sure to give everything a good poke with those adorable little hands. Young professionals—who are still blissfully child-free—will love it, especially those with fancy shoes and designer bags.

When you tire of your cart acrobatics, hop back into the cart but switch it up and try standing on the back! Who doesn’t love a little ground beef underfoot? And while you’re at it, let’s splurge on those chips. After all, what’s a few crumbs, right?

Tantrums in the snack aisle? Absolutely essential. I can use a little practice in negotiation skills, especially when it comes to the debate of whether those colorful, sugary gummies are a “healthy” choice. Mom brain? Not in my vocabulary—thanks to you!

And don’t forget to throw in a dramatic lie-down in the aisle; it wouldn’t be a proper shopping trip without it. Grocery shopping is hard work, I get it! If you suddenly declare you’re starving, let’s dig into that bag of popcorn you tossed into the cart for a little shopping picnic. Crumbs everywhere? No worries! My bag is practically a bottomless pit, thanks to my inner Mary Poppins.

When you want a turn at pushing the cart, please feel free to gently ram it into my heels. It’s honestly a hilarious twist to our shopping routine, and I could use a good laugh! And yes, definitely ask me to carry you while pushing the cart. Just because I’m in yoga pants doesn’t mean I’ve actually exercised today—this is just the workout I never knew I needed!

Oh, and when the cart is overflowing, and I’ve precariously placed the ice cream on top, that’s the perfect moment to announce you need to use the bathroom. Nothing like weaving through crowds in a race against time—such excitement!

Finally, at checkout, please go ahead and push every button on the credit card machine, especially the one that cancels the transaction. I’m sure the people behind us will appreciate the extra waiting time. After all, I bet they’ll be the ones to remind me to “slow down and enjoy the moment.” So take your time; this is the most fun!

My sweet little adventurers, remember these are just suggestions. Get creative! Make every shopping experience unique and keep me on my toes until that sweet, peaceful drive home—strapped in and ready for a nap.

Love you, my little rascals,
Mom
