Shopping with 5 kids is anything but easy.

I’ll never forget taking all 5 of them into CVS with me this past winter to grab some quick essentials for the house, as well as medication for my husband who was sick with Strep at the time.

It was mayhem.

My 3 year-old daughter Victoria announced that she was “too big” for a cart, so she wanted to be on the ground walking (but really running) through the aisles.

My 3 “middle” sons (Alex, Ben and Henry) tried to contain her, but she thought it was a chasing game… so the cat and mouse game ensued.

My oldest son (bless him), just wanted to help me out, but ended up carrying my pocketbook and cell phone while I wrangled the rest of the McClelland crew.

To add to the crazy of the shopping trip, I ran into an old family friend who kept me talking for over 15 minutes, all when I knew I needed to get home with medicine for my husband.

Needless to say, I waved the white flag. I vowed, never again.

But – I’m a mom – how is that possible, right?

Here I am with 5 kids, there are times I NEED to shop at certain stores and shops. There are essentials we need at home as a family that need to be picked up and bought. I can’t just stop shopping, that’s not realistic.

Well… thankfully CVS has made it easier on their customers and I can’t thank them enough for this wonderful perk of being a CVS customer.

CVS Curbside Pickup

CVS Curbside Pickup allows customers to use their CVS Pharmacy app to order health and beauty items, snacks, and any other non-prescription household essentials, and have their order delivered from a participating store right to their car.

You read that correctly, you order through the app and it’s delivered to your car.

Not only do customers get to skip the line, but they can forget the hassle of in-store shopping all together!

For a busy mom like me, this is INCREDIBLE! This is absolutely, positively incredible! It saves me time. It saves me energy. And most of all, it makes it convenient and easy for me to get what I need, with my family in tow!

Not to mention… if it’s raining, you can stay dry in your car; if it’s snowing, you can stay put; if you have a sleeping baby or toddler, you don’t have to wake them up; if you have a sick child or partner, you don’t have to leave them alone (or worse, take them into CVS with you); if there’s a heavy product, you don’t have to do the heavy lifting; if you need to pick up some intimate products and don’t want people seeing you, you don’t have to worry about being seen!

It’s all done right there for you, you just need to pull in and pick up!

Man, I love this.
