With spring springing up all around us I’m itching to take my kids out to explore the city. The cherry blossoms blooming, the fountains spouting water after a dormant winter, and the sunshine streaming down are beckoning to us after months of being mostly indoors.
In order to tackle our beloved concrete jungle here is what I’ll need:
- Ergobaby Carrier: Navigating busy streets, public transportation, and small cafes is no place for a stroller. Keeping baby close, safe, and out of trouble while still looking great is possible with a great carrier
- Large Bag: I like something I can sling over my shoulder that will fit diaper changing supplies, a few snacks, a water bottle and my wallet.
- Sunglasses: To keep the glare away and complete the look.
- Teething Necklace: Stylish and gives baby something to bite down on or fiddle with.
- Walking Shoes: We will cover a lot of ground and at the end of the day I’ll be glad my feet were kept as comfortable as possible.
- Jeans: Where does fashion meet comfort? It’s not my usual choice of yoga pants – for out and about you can’t go wrong with the right pair of jeans.
- Nursing Top: I love this top – it’s beautiful, flattereng and makes nursing in public a breeze.
