The Paris Car

Meet my new car.

Photobucket I got away with the baby bjorn for a good while, but alas, babies grow. So we got the City Mini, plus just about every accessory known to man, which trust me, if you live in the city you will use. Let me breakdown the Paris car for you. Hanging off the back would be my shopping bags, purse and one more bag on the other side.Photobucket Inside my dashboard, aka stroller caddy, you will find: A bottle of red, a bottle of whiskey, whipped cream, keys, bus tickets and a cell phone. Doesn't every mom carry whisky and wine in their stroller? Hanging off the "mommy hook", aka carabiner, my Lucy Jane, that I LOVE. This is my daily shopping bag, park bag and then it will be the beach bag. I think I'm going to need another just from use alone! I take it to the market as well, even when I'm not with the stroller or kids. When I have alone time on bus 42. When did the bus become alone time? Photobucket Back to the point.
On this shopping trip, on foot, no bus needed, I went to: Office Depot, Flower shop, Bakery, Marionnaud (get YSL, touche eclair, you can thank me later), Butcher, Orange (cell phone service), Fruit/Veggie store, and the Grocery store. Photobucket Plus there is still room for one cute kid. Then I "unloaded" the car. Photobucket Who needs an SUV?
Cheers!

OK you will call me out on the "turd" but I see no mention of the carabiner????? Now that was a funny story but maybe not blog appropriate. I am amazed at your packing skills. You can load a SUV like no other.

That would take far too much back story;)

I am in awe of your strength...that is no small load to push!! When I was a kid in Brooklyn I used to go with my mom to the grocery store and we had to haul all those groceries up 3 flights of stairs...no wonder we were all thin then;-)

I am also in awe of the bag...so much so that I ordered something from her too....

Love you and miss you

My daughter and I when to Doll House to buy a Sherri Lee dress that my daughter was obsessed with. I received no service from the sales staff until I asked. They gave my daughter a few styles to try on when asked what size my daughter would be, she pointed at the dress my daughter had on and said “that size”. I noticed that the dresses had no size tags on them and when I asked the sales staff about that, they got frustrated with me and gave no explanation. So I left the store with a much deflated daughter, went home and ordered the dress online and saved $200.
