Not to be outdone by my bloggy pal Mandy who wrote a hilarious 10 Tips to Shopping With Kids, I enlisted the help of a seasoned nanny to draft some purely practical ways of getting holiday or grocery shopping done with kids in tow. Head on over to Momtastic to check my 5 Secrets to Shopping With Kids.Nvar gaJsHost = ((“https:” == document.location.protocol) ? “https://ssl.” : “http://www.”);document.write(unescape(“%3Cscript src=’” + gaJsHost + “google-analytics.com/ga.js’ type=’text/javascript’%3E%3C/script%3E”)); try {var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(“UA-9503023-2″);pageTracker._trackPageview();} catch(err) {}
So, so so true, Kristi – I recently took a shopping trip with the kids when one had not had a long enough nap – disaster. Timing IS truly everything – and thanks for the great tip on employing holiday trivia!!
Awesome article! (And I got a kick out of being quoted.)
I should have read this before my trip last Friday! Great post.
My youngest (who has given up her nap and is not sleeping at night now, either) had a meltdown in the grocery store last week and I felt so sorry for the folks trying to get on with their shopping. (Except for the ones who ran into my cart on purpose, it seemed…)
