The battle of the strollers

As a blogger when purchasing a item I always relay on bloggers reviews  or you tube. As a first time mom I was faced with looking for something I had no idea about the dreaded STROLLER. So many options so little patiance and reviews for stroller forget it it ranged from the best STROLLER ever to I hate this stroller on the same product. So I went old school looking for my stroller I hit the streets...

Yes when moms would pass by with stroller that looked amazing, I would google the name on the stroller and come home and do some research. My husband and I both had this mission in mind. So when this particular stroller kept on coming up I knew we might had found a winner. I wanted something not only that I liked but so did my husband. When he came home one day he was beyond excited about the QUINNY he said the look of this stroller was so cool and looked particle. 

There's the Key word as first time parents PARTICLE was key !!! I swear I had never understood the machines to a stroller. I tried with my nephew's stroller that was a GRECO and that was nothing but a head ache.   

So QUINNY was the same stroller that I had also fallen in love with I had actually talked to mother and asked her . "so do you like this stroller " and her response was "absolutely" so went on to tell me how easy and PARTICLE it was . I made my discussion right there that I also wanted a QUINNY that stroller was the one I wanted. 

So once you decided which stroller you want the process goes way easier you narrowed it down to 10000 to one and way to to go you !!!! 

So then Came the questions, where can I buy ??? what comes with it???  how much extra will I have to pay for the extras ???

a google search takes you to where you need to be. My model was a Quinny Mood had color options and car seat and basinet adaptors that where sold separately. 

 So here was my two option the pink and the red, I went with the red just incase I would have another child I wouldn't have to do this expense again !!

I found a shop that carried all the higher end strollers and actually took the time and showed you how they actually fold I mean you go to Babies R US and no one helps you . And its very hard as a first time parent to really know what your getting right 

the place is called  Pampered Tot

In Hermosa Beach,Ca

Well since I needed a car seat is not they wont leave the hospital with out I knew that this stroller was adaptable to a car seat the adaptors are included . The perfect match was the Maxi Cozy 

Maxi Cozy   

So we picked one up 

I did go with the pink on the car seat !!! 

Not only are these two products PRACTICAL they are also very stylish the sleek European look. Not like your pushing a house around . 

I really hope this review helps anyone that was in the same spot I was in , I didn't get paid or any credit for this review I just really enjoyed finding something that worked for me and just had to share. 

Thanks for stoping by as always I'll talk to you all soon 

take care

How can this be !!!

Well hello blogger world . I'm about 30 weeks pregnant now and I've came to the conclusion that I haven't gained all the weight I had lost before my pregnancy how is this possible .... its been a real hard  pill to swallow to see how much I had let myself go and the worse part is I didn't even notice. HOW is this possible  I lost 45 pounds and now at 30 weeks pregnant I've gained 38 pounds is that crazy !!!! its been a real reality check for me . I plan to go back to my diet plan after the baby because if I lost that much once I'm almost sure I can lose it again. But really I have no pressure to get back all back in shape I really want to enjoy baby Violet.

SO Here's a updated prego picture of me !!! and my prego fashion can you believe this dress was mine wen I was over weight. Yeah I know what was I thinking  .

yes that side view of my tummy is intense but baby violet there she's blowing kisses xoxo

My first family picture I love it !!!

Curves & violet 

will you still love me ...

A fashion post has been way over due !! here's a outfit I wore couple weeks ago I was 24 weeks pregnant since then my belly has gotten way bigger but I just loved this outfit had to post it !!  I'm playing catch up with my blog. 

please excuse me as I catch up !!!

Glasses our from Fancy Steps and wearng MAC candy yum yum lipstick 

I bought this dress at ROSS in the plus size section  perfect with my growing tummy, Only bad part of this dress is the material. Super thin its almost see threw I had to layer it which meant more clothes which meant not comfortable. 

But the pattern and the fit was perfect, can't have it all right. 

I enhanced my waist with this thin belt and my flats are from H&M   summer sale I swear they cost only 5.99 and I hate buying flats so the cheaper the better. And since that's my only footwear these last few months I stock up on cheap flats when I can 

the overwhelming Project

As the time passes the more anxious I get to meet my little baby I have a amazing bond with him or her we talk all day and of course we hang out all day. Something about having a little life inside me has really have made  life complete. I've living the time of my life waiting for my little one to arrive. Waiting for  the baby to arrive we have gone under some serious rearranging of my small home. And with a big belly and not capable to do much it has been a real challenge. But we are almost there and the baby's room has been cleared out.

Here's some pictures of the processes

Well we had to put a wall up to divided the house so here's the construction part we also added a skylight for the baby room.

 So here's the closet that had to be completely removed for this will be the babies room

The Sky light did such a differance in this room it opened it up and of course brings in the most amazing natural light that I wanted for the baby. 

Caution Next pictures !!! mess and beyond 

Yes it was a mission,to move this all I also had a blog sale that I hosted on Facebook that saved me. I was able to get some of these things out.

So in the meantime the room where the closet was going to go was being painted and getting ready to hold all my treasures. Which mind you this room is way smaller. 

I felt like a lifetime but everything fit and the room has been moved !!! 

Thanks to my parents that helped me and my husband without there help I could have never done this.

The room is empty yeeey here's some pieces I just picked up that I will show you on another post 

Empty !!! the never ending project Has been complete now the real fun starts. The baby decoration starts, I have so many plans but we should know the gender of the baby in the next two weeks then I really know if to go with pink or blue. 

thanks for stopping by and seeing how my life is changing little by little getting ready for my little blessing . Talk to you soon let me know what you think about the improvements!!!

Yours,
