As excited as I am about back-to-school and the upcoming fall and holiday season I get slightly anxious about what a busy time of year this is. This is always the busiest time of year for me. Bring me all of the Starbucks please! Carpool, school activities, the busy season for work, 3 of my party of 5 have birthdays in the fall, and let’s not forget THE HOLIDAYS!! I love this time, but my goal this year is to manage my time more efficiently than in past years to avoid getting stressed out during all of the fun!
I recently learned the best kept shopping secret in years at Nordstrom. They have these front parking spots marked “15 minutes” and when I inquired what they are used for I learned that they are for people who either a. order online for an in- store pick-up or b. have alterations. Since I’m typically toting around kids, the ease of running in to grab an order is a major time saver. Not to mention the fact that I can place my online orders after the kids are in bed and it will be ready to grab quickly from the store the next day! I’ve actually placed orders that have been ready for pick up in as little as 2 hours. Efficiency shopping goals are now within reach! 😉
Nordstrom’s buy online/pick up in store service came in handy when doing our back to school shopping. Here is what I snagged for the kiddos back to school…
And a few back to school items for me too because let’s face it I’m essentially transitioning into my new carpool driver role for the foreseeable future…
This post is brought to you in collaboration with Nordstrom. Thank you for supporting the brands and businesses that make L. Avenue possible!
