Springtime Urban Adventure Essentials

 

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.
