The First Years brand Strollers are now at Walmart

I am happy to share with everyone that The First Years brand strollers are now available at Walmart stores. We love our stroller. We take it to the mall, the park, grocery stores, and even to the river trails where we were in a bit of dirt. It held up great and is so light weight we took our little guy out and carried the stroller across the rocky parts. So easy to fold up and easy to use. We love our stroller. You can find all the great The First Years brand strollers at Walmart here.

My son when he first got his stroller. He will never wear socks!

Out of the mouth of babes...

Today my 4 year old announced that he wanted to be a grown up so that he can have a girlfriend and have hair on his face! I just realized that all of the men in our family have some sort of facial hair and he associates grown up men with having hair on their face!! LOVE IT!!
