I used to love shopping. But once I had kids, it became a chore.
Before you could browse, feel, wander. It was magical. Now, you're on a mission to get out as quickly as possible without forgetting something, cause then you'd have to go back. Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit here, but shopping is definitely something I try to avoid unless I am by myself.
Enter Walmart's Spark Studio where you can browse and shop what actual people are pinning from their site.
With Spark Studio, you can browse by color, brand (Better Homes and Gardens anyone?), recent or popular pins, or the categories below. Each picture shows the number of times the item has been pinned! It's not just what they want you to buy, it's a curated selection of their best items. Some so cute, I would have never thought they came from Walmart.
Here are some of my favorites from each category:
Inspirations
top pinned items by Walmart shoppers on Pinterest
For the home
furniture, décor, and other home solutions from Walmart fans (my favorite section)
Fashion and Beauty
I wouldn't think to look at this area, but there were some great beauty must-haves, cute clothes, and even swimsuits!
Babies
finding good baby stuff that works is tough, search the top picks from Pinterest moms
Pets
everything you will need for your pet. We don't have one, but I was swooning over these chicken coops!
Play Time
outdoor fun, summer favorites, camping items, and even huge mansion playhouses that you want to move into.
Combine Spark Studio with Walmart's Site-to-Store shipping option, and shopping becomes fun again. You can check out the items I've found and curated on my Pinterest page, or head straight to Spark Studio to browse for yourself!
No driving, sippy cup filling, or taking an hour to leave necessary. 😉

Laura
I could totally become addicted to this. I have just taken a quick peak and am already afraid I will be losing most of my afternoon to this 🙂
Heidi @ Mom's Crafty Space
I'm right there with you in agreeing that shopping is not really fun anymore (especially with a two-year-old who likes nothing more than to scream and try to throw himself from the cart for the entire duration of the trip!).
I had no idea that Walmart was partnered with all those other sites to bring you SO many shopping choices! I am seriously sitting here now looking at a ton of chicken coops that I never knew existed. This could be dangerous to my wallet! 😉
Brett
it looks really cool! i am drooling over that fun blue bike while rolling my eyes at the play mansion LOL
Megan
What a neat concept! Those are some good finds.
Ann Marie
thanks, Megan! Less time shopping, more time pinning. Woo hoo! 😉
