What do you know about the massive brick and mortar and online retailer known as Walmart? For me, that knowledge was quite limited until I got the chance to go behind the scenes at the Walmart.com e-commerce office in Sunnyvale, CA. I was quite surprised at the standard office front and wondered if I was in the right place. The big Walmart To Go truck outside and\u00a0clear signage marked the way though. I really had no idea what to expect!<\/p>\n

Together with twenty-five other bloggers, half of which were Walmart Moms, we stood in awe at the welcome wall with all of our blog logos inscribed on it. Numerous selfies ensued.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kelly Thompson, Senior Vice President of Merchandising for Walmart.com shared with us Walmart’s motto \u2013 to help moms take care of their family and do it with style. There are 4200 stores, many of which are within 15 miles of their customers. Speaking of which, Walmart stores and ecommerce serve\u00a0140,000,000 U.S. customers every week. And, yes, that is (fake) grass on the ground. \u00a0There were also huge hedges acting as room dividers. It’s like their office in the park.<\/p>\n

We also got a preview of some of the items currently in-store. Some of the fab $10 statement necklaces from Walmart were shown off (see the last photo) and we peeked at the Bella Linea line of coordinating kitchen appliances. We later used the Sport Rocket Blenders for a smoothie social in the early afternoon and were gifted one to take home. It’s strong enough to tackle the frozen fruit I use in my morning smoothies but is in an easy-to-clean single-serve container.<\/p>\n
Those with young children were raving about the Urbini Omni 3-in-1 stroller shown. For $199, the car seat is included and the stroller itself converts to an\u00a0infant car seat carrier, an infant bassinet stroller, or a toddler stroller. It’s a great price and everyone that has one loves it.<\/p>\n
