Sundays At The Flea Market

I love going to the flea market. I love books. So I am really wanting to buy these two gorgeous books all about flea marketing. There are so many great flea markets all across the country and Spring is just around the corner. When the weather turns nice, it is definitely time to go shopping!

Here in Seattle we have a market called the Fremont Sunday Market. Everything from furniture to art to funky clothing and handmade candles is here. For me, part of the fun is people watching. Hippies, babies, hipsters and dogs all turn out for the Sunday market. It's a colorful, funky way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

GoGo Babyz Urban Advantage Stroller Review and Giveaway

My son loves boxes! This one he said "mine" and jumped on it. I let him lounge on it until he yelled "fly" and jumped off. Hes a wild one. Him being so wild is a reason I need to get him a better stroller. The one we have now works but its not ideal for all the outings we go on. We go to festivals, mall play dates, river and lake path walking and so much more. We are busy bees over here.

When we are on the go I often have my son stay in his stroller so I can keep an eye on him if its a crowded place. Plus he can enjoy a snack and some juice on his tray when we are out for long walks at the river. I really was needing a stroller with good maneuverability. I looked for a stroller with 3 wheels and found a great one! The Urban Advantage from GoGo Babyz was exactly what I was looking for.

It was fairly easy to put together for me. I followed the instructions and did not need to ask my husband if it was right (lol success!) I love the Green color. Its perfect for Spring, matches the new car seat I won from Huggies and its my favorite green apple! The Urban Advantage stroller maneuvered with a great ease. I love the height of the handle bar, I could stand up perfectly straight and had cup holders right at my arm height. That has been an issue for my husband as well, feeling like he has to slump over when he pushes our son, even he thought the stroller was great.

A few times a week our local mall holds events of all sorts. We are lucky to live so close so we can attend them. Some are for entertainment, others educational or a fundraiser. I love to be able to get out of the house and for my son to interact with other kids. The first place we went with the GoGo Babyz Urban Advantage was the Red Cross Save A Life Saturday. We did not have a chance to sign up for the class but we did get to color and gather some good information. I like the foot rest on this stroller. My son seemed very comfortable sitting in it. Plus if he were to fall asleep like he has at fairs I could recline the seat and let him snooze comfortably.

Here is some info on the GoGo Babyz Urban Advantage Stroller:

This unique three-wheeled swivel stroller can accommodate an infant car seat for newborns, and its well-cushioned, washable seat provides a noteworthy level of comfort for children up to 45 pounds. It has a five-point, padded safety harness, parent tray, child tray and an extra-long canopy to keep out the sun. It folds easily with just one hand for storage. The brake-activated kickstand provides added stability and safety to help prevent tipping accidents when parked.

The Urban Advantage is not a jogging stroller but, it is great for providing a smooth ride on a variety of surfaces.

The Disney store at our mall has great murals and a Movie viewing area with tables and chairs. Its often a place we meet for snacks before going to the play yard.

One of the great things about GoGo Babyz is their Recycled Urban Advantage Strollers. You can save money and help the environment by purchasing a Recycled Urban Advantage Stroller. These strollers demos or returns that the company refurbishes to make it like new. The strollers go through a safety inspection and test before they are able to be sold. It also comes with a 6 month warranty. This would be a great way to save money and reduce waste.

The stroller folds up easily but can be a bit heavy to lift at 27lbs. I did not realize how much of a wimp I am lol. I know we will be bring this stroller to many festivals and even the state fair this year. I look forward to the adventures we will be having with out Urban Advantage. GoGo Babyz also make great travel products. The Infant/Toddler Cruiser looks like the perfect solution for train, taxi and airplane travel for your little one's car seat.

Stuck in the Slide!

Yesterday I took my son to the local park. It has been sunny and beautiful just a bit breezy. For some reason he has been a bit apprehensive about slides. Months previous we could not keep him off of them. Its fun to see his little emotions develop and change. One of the big slides at the park I do not normally let him go down since it seems a bit big kid and he is just a toddler. He asked to go down this one and smiled. I asked him if he wanted to and he nodded his head.

This slide is one of those slides that is a tube so I was not worried about him falling off, but something else happened. As he was sliding down he put out his hands and legs. This stopped him right in his tracks! He was stuck half way down the slide inside of it. My heart started to panic!! I could not reach him from the top or bottom to push or pull him out. I asked him ever so sweetly to move his feet and come down to mommy. Hes response was "Im Stuck!" My heart was in my throat since I had no way of climbing in there to get him. I started to look around to see if I could ask another kid to go in there to pull him out.

Finally I tapped on the part of the slide where I could see he was in the tube and told him I see a doggie and he came sliding down. It was quite the slide adventure!

Did I find Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls? Shopping Sam's Club

I have been a Sam's Club member for about 8 years. I love to get great deals and the sample days are super fun. Since having my son I have found my membership even more valuable to save money. My son has turned out to be a finicky eater, he is just like me when I was little. He likes food to be a certain way and he likes savory food.  We went shopping at Sam's Club this week in search of a new product. We were looking for Tyson Breakfast Bread Bowls.

The one thing I like to have for breakfast, even when its breakfast for dinner is a good juice to go with it. My son does not like plain Orange Juice since its too tart for him. But he does like SunnyD. I picked up a bottle while we were there. He loves and I mean loves bacon! When he saw it in the Breakfast section he ran over and tried to grab some out of the case.

I shop the Frozen Breakfast section all the time for my family. We are the kind of people who eat breakfast items at anytime of the day. Having a convenient way to serve breakfast always makes things easier. Sam's Club carries many great products for Breakfast. They have sweet and savor, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches and even Cinnabon! My son is a savory breakfast food eater. I try waffles, pancakes and more and he does not like them. He will eat fruit if I serve it along side some bacon so its a battle that I am learning to take the good with the not as good. I like French Toast sticks and often eat them for dessert too. I used to purchase the breakfast sandwiches until my son decided it was funner to take them apart and throw them.

#TysonBreakfast

 While looking at the great selection of Frozen Breakfast items at Sam's Club I spotted an item I thought was not yet in California stores. I was delighted to see the new Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowl. They are a bread bowl filled with Eggs, Bacon and Cheese. I love food in a bread bowl! This is a great idea, especially for my son. I try to get him to eat eggs but he can be picky about it. I think in a combo like this and it having cheese and bacon he will eat it. I look forward to trying these next week. We purchase Tyson products weekly. My husband loves the Boneless Skinless chicken for salads and entrees, my son loves the Fun Nuggets and Anytizers and I love all of it! #TysonBreakfast

After finding the Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bowls at my Sam's Club I thanked a manager for carrying them and my son and I continued to look around the store. I love to be a looky loo in there and see all the cool stuff. We checked out and then headed to the car to go get some Sam's Club gas. 

On the way out of our Sam's Club I saw a display set up to donate money for M.S. research and we donated. The door greeter at my store was super nice as she cheeked our receipt and drew a smiley face on it. Next week I will be trying the Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread bowls with my family as we enjoy Breakfast for Dinner. I cant wait to share my thoughts on it with everyone.

You can find out more about the great Tyson Products including the new Tyson Bacon Breakfast Bread Bowls by following them on twitter and being a fan on facebook. Tyson has giveaways and contests often on their facebook page.

You can read my Google+ story about my shopping trip to Sam's Club for Frozen Breakfast items and see all the cool summer and spring items I spotted in the store.
