A stroll through the park

I don’t know when the last time was that I actually went outside for a stroll, let alone through the park or with other mamas! Oh wait, yes I do. It was a few months ago in the Texas summer heat…

I had the bright idea to meet friends at the park in our neighborhood. I was pushing a double stroller with two three-year-olds seated, and an almost 20lb baby attached to me. I literally couldn’t breathe after about five minutes. I have been patiently waiting for the twins to start their Mother’s Day Out program so Harper and I can get out of the house and try again, minus the extra 75ish pounds of toddler.Britax B Ready, stroller review, Britax, Spit and Sparkles, Austin Moms Blog, Steffany Duke

I was so happy to have the opportunity to get together with Austin Moms Blog and some of the lovely ladies who make up the team of contributors for a picnic and stroll in downtown Austin. We had sandwiches and cupcakes, and learned all about the new Britax B-Ready stroller. Lots of babies of all sizes and ages, and moms with different lifestyles. We were all very impressed by this stroller. I was blown away to learn that it has 12 configurations!

My favorite is having the seat facing toward me. Harper is a mama’s girl through and through, so keeping that face-to-face time now that she’s out of the infant car seat is huge. I don’t know any other strollers that have a front facing seat for older babies and toddlers. I also love how easy the stroller is to pack up, but it is a tad bulky. We also have the Britax B-Agile double stroller for the twins, and the two are about the same size folded up. But the ease of pushing and maneuvering the stroller is worth it, not to mention the GIANT storage basket underneath.

The mom who lost herself…

Steffany Duke, Spit and Sparkles, Mommy burnout, twins plus one, Austin Moms Blog

Laughter filled her house. She heard tiny footsteps pitter-patter down the hall as children played happily together, imagining they were explorers on a hunt for the lost treasure. Her heart swelled with joy at the sounds of their innocence. She was the mother of many happy children, but a sense of sadness lingered over her. […]

My entire life makes sense

Love languages for children, parenting twins, spit and sparkles blog

Y’all my WHOLE life makes sense now. I’ve read the love languages book for marriage (it’s been awhile!) and I knew my love language was words of affirmation, but looking at this with my children in mind, it all makes sense now. This took me back, and totally explains why I was always teacher’s pet […]
