    When I first got married, grocery shopping was fun and exciting. I loved leisurely roaming the aisles on my days off of work and school while meticulously planning our nightly dinners. I'd do my hair and put on something besides leggings. I'd push the cart and look longingly into the child seat imagining myself with my own happy baby to coo and caw at while I filled my cart with organic greens, greek yogurt, and lentils. I'd stop by the deli counter for a soft serve ice cream cone (you read that right) and legitimately ENJOY my time away. It was a break, a vacation really.

    Fast forward 12 years and 3 kids later, grocery shopping is a less than savory experience. I'm lucky if I can get out of there without opening a yet-to-be-purchased bag of goldfish/teddy Grahams/granola bars or a tantrum where the 2 yr old is mad because I'm BUYING chocolate chips and the cart isn't a swimming pool. Some days I'm pretty sure that donating a kidney might be easier.

    Sure, there are those sacred times that I get to go shopping without the kids, but even still, those trips are more akin to running a marathon with the hopes that I'll get to do something I actually enjoy afterwards-- like eating Chic-Fil-A by myself in my car-- before the kids are my responsibility again.

    This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of the new Walmart Grocery Pick-up Service. All thoughts and opinions are my own

    So, when Walmart asked if I'd like to try their new Grocery Pick-Up Service I was aaaallllll over it. Shop at home and have the groceries brought out to my car for me?!?  Heck. to. the. YES.

    So, one glorious night last week I jumped online to https://walmart.com/grocery and started adding the groceries I needed to my cart. There's a $30 order minimum but this service is 100% free. I filled up my cart, checked out with my debit card, and scheduled a time to go pick up my groceries. If you order early enough there are usually same-day slots or you can schedule your pick-up up to 2 weeks out. In my case, I ordered late at night and was able to pick up the next morning.

    I received a call that my order was ready the next morning and headed for Walmart. Once there I followed the signs to the pick-up area, parked in a numbered parking space, and called the posted number letting them know I was there.

    And then within a few minutes, like some miracle descending from the side doors of the store, an angel dressed in blue wheeled a cart full of the groceries I had purchased the night before to my car and put them in my trunk.

    IT. WAS. AMAZING.

    I gave her a quick signature saying that I had received my groceries and that was it. So easy.

    A few if the items I ordered were out of stock so they offered replacements or refunded the money. The produce was fresh and everything was there!

    The 10 year old thought it was pretty cool, too.
