Oh my gosh, you guys! It feels like forever since I’ve had the freedom to just go and explore, but with my husband’s new job, I finally get more car access during the day. And you know what that means for Acefullyalive? Adventures with Ace (and Wynter, of course)! This first one was a big deal, and I wanted to share all the realness of a mom’s first solo Target run with a little one. First things first, no adventure is complete without coffee, right? My usual spot hooked me up with my go-to: a Trenta cold brew with light almond milk, light ice, and that glorious salted caramel cold foam. Seriously, it's the little things that get us through. I was kinda sad my friend Hannah wasn't there to share the coffee gossip, so Hannah, if you're watching, I missed you! That sweet caffeine kick was exactly what I needed to tackle the Target aisles. Our first mission? The Dollar Spot! You know how it is – you go in for one thing, and suddenly you’re debating between adorable blue and pink summer decor. Everything was just so cute! I swear, Target knows how to get you with those seasonal treasures. Then, we played my favorite game, 'candle roulette,' sniffing out new scents. Mandarin hibiscus and marine moss were definitely contenders – what are your favorite seasonal scents right now? Getting Wynter into the cart is always… an *event*. My secret weapon? A pouch! It’s the only way I can guarantee a smooth ride, and honestly, sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do for a peaceful shopping experience. Mom hacks for the win! Now, for the really real talk. Ever since I had kids, my body has just been… different. And my usual deodorant? It just doesn’t cut it anymore. I don't know if it's hormones or what, but I feel like I kind of smell different, and it's been a struggle finding something that actually works. I picked up one I heard good things about, but seriously, if you have any holy grail postpartum deodorant suggestions, please drop them in the comments! I’m desperate! Along the same lines, I’m on the hunt for a new body wash too. My skin has changed, and I need something that makes me feel fresh and pampered. What are your go-to body wash recommendations? Beyond the essentials, I grabbed some snacks for the road – a must for any successful outing. And of course, I stalked the makeup aisle for a moment. My favorite lip liner staple is always a repurchase, but sometimes it’s fun to try something new. All in all, our first big adventure was a success! We went in with just a pouch, and came out with snacks, a new deodorant, and hopefully some amazing suggestions from you all. Wynter was such a good bubba, so our reward was a fun stop at the playground on the way home. It’s these little wins that make mom life so fulfilling. What are your favorite mom-friendly shopping trips or products you swear by after having kids? Let me know below – I love hearing from you all!
