Stroller Envy

So I picked up this pregnancy magazine the other day at the store (not for me personally but work related!) isn’t it amazing how products change every year? My youngest is three and there are even newer and cooler items for babies out there now – everything from strollers to highchairs, bibs and diaper bags.

Of course the topic of stroller envy is everywhere and it seems every pregnancy magazine is comparing the latest and greatest stroller.My friend keeps talking about phil & teds.  It’s a cute little buggy for two children in funky colors.   https://www.philandteds.com
 
Even though I don’t have a baby (but want one!) the bugaboo would still be my first choice.  They now have a more affordable compact stroller ($529) called the bugaboo bee introduced this September. It’s a one piece foldable stroller – so cute!

Quinny™ strollers are the new bugaboos I think!   The Buzz (who created that name?) is the talk of the town now. Easy set up and for about $500 you can get one too (along with many new moms) https://www.quinny.com

I still have my Peg Perego for my three year old and with a step in the back that the six year old still likes to ride on!  It is a bit awkward to handle and is very heavy but it gets them from point a to b! Isn’t that all you really need!

SKI SKI SKI

Winter Sports and The Family
You know it’s that time again – ski season is in full swing in the Northeast. I know, I hear it everywhere and I am sure you do too….. “we’ve got to get the kids on skis,”  We finally did last week. 

But a word of warning:  Rent skis and test out the terrain before you make a commitment to purchase a whole ensemble for young kids and the family because I am sure you have heard…….it can get really expensive.  You know how fickle little 6 year olds can be!  So drumroll please…..here are a few tips for surviving the winter ski season with young kids.
 

Rent equipment and head to a local ski hill.  Check out your own backyard before you head to a monstrous mountain as young kids who are first starting out won’t be hitting the trails but sticking to the bunny slope!  One such resource (https://skiing.alpinezone.com/resorts.htm), can help you navigate.
 

Pack a healthy snack or lunch so kids have their bellies full before they head out on the slopes.  You mean you haven’t tried Lands End lunch bags (https://www.landsend.com/ix/girls-clothing/Girls/Backpacks-Bags-Lunch-Boxes/index.html?seq=1~2~3&catNumbers=400~491&visible=1~2~1&store=le&sort=Recommended&tab=4) they are really cute and functional!
 

There is a bag for everything. We all know kids should carry their own equipment but let’s face it after a few hours of skiing a three year old can get pretty cranky.  My husband developed a system.  Gloves, goggles and headsocks stuffed into helmets in one bag. Ski’s boots in another (when they are so young the skis are so tiny they can have their own bag.   I was checking out go ski (https://www.goski.com/gear/Bags_Luggage/Ski_Boot_Bags.html) the other day and they do have quite a selection!
 

Happy skiing!

a green year?

2008 is here! Are you prepared for the year ahead? Got those resolutions in check? This is the year for me to get organized (of course I always say that!) and to make a commitment to being more ecologically conscious -especially in my workspace.  I was wandering around https://www.seejanework.com  – my fav place to get office supplies and I discovered many eco friendly office products that will make the transition easy.  Everything from notebooks to pencils and even these nice soy diffusers – for a lovely smelling home office. https://www.seejanework.com/ProductCart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=102&idproduct=789
