As a new mom of two little ones under the age of two...shopping trips or really any trip out of the house can be a daunting task. The first time I went out with both of them I used one of the carts at Walmart with the extra seating attached to the front. First off those carts are for the birds. They are difficult to steer and Walmart was kind enough to make them yet they didn't make their aisles big enough to accomodate them. So...the other night while shopping alone (doesn't happen often have to seize the moments I'm given) I noticed a "Baby Go" carrier in the baby aisle. I sat there for a while pondering a few ideas. I have been having lots of trouble with my arms lately and holding my son is getting harder and harder, especially when he is having one of those days where he wants all of my attention and doesn't want to be set down. So as I'm standing there looking at the carrier I realized it could serve multiple purposes. Well I am here to tell you, both MS parents and regular parents alike, that this little carrier which was roughly $22 at Walmart has become my hero. I have now used it both around the house and on our shopping trip today and let me tell you man did it make things so much easier. My arms are not nearly as tired today as they have been in the days since my son's arrival and I would recommend this idea to any of my fellow MS parents out there as well as those regular parents who just need a few extra hands around the house...I call it hands free parenting :) maybe I should be in advertising :P
Until next time...
