Hey, busy moms. It’s so hard to go anywhere any more with all the carseats to buckle and unbuckle, germy shopping carts, broken high chair belts, and checkout line meltdowns. Wouldn’t it be awesome if everything had a drive-thru?
Here are 6 places to go in Wichita where you don’t have to get the kids in and out of the car!
