Dumpster Diving

In the morning, one of us usually makes the trek to the trashcan. As I was walking back towards the door I spied a bag of goodies on my neighbor's curb. I made a mad dash across the street to search the bag. I found seven great items to save for Abbey when she's about 5. One really nice pair of gap pants, 3 Old Navy denim skirts, 1 denim dress and and really cute top. I'll wash them and put them away until then. Will I even remember I have them? Oh and there was an awesome coffee table. Sorta vintage looking. I think I'll call a friend to rescue the poor thing.

The Double Stroller is gone

I feel the same way I did the day I sold the car seats. Wanting to hold onto them, but knowing that someone else was going to need them. I remember purchasing this stroller. Me, Carey and my mom went to Target. Lugging the big box in the front door and Carey putting the stroller together while I read up on my hospital information. It was such a great stroller. It wasn't a top of the line model either. The brand: Graco and the model: DuoGlider. I loved it for a lot of reasons.
1. It fit in my trunk (Jetta).
2. It folded up easy.
3. It was comfortable for the babies.
4. Had a cup holder and a gadget holder.
5. Had reclining seats.
6. Easily fit through any aisle.
7. Large basket underneath.
8. Was easy to steer.
Many more reasons to love this. I sold it to a woman who already has a 3 year old and has another baby on the way. I hope she loves it as much as I did.
For anyone having twins or needing a double stroller, I really recommend this model.
