Last year while in DC over the Christmas holidays, we received a lot of comments on how warm and snuggly Oliver looked in his stroller bag. The stroller bag is a pretty common thing in Germany and the rest of Europe, so I thought I’d introduce you to the company that produces the baby stroller […]

If I could afford it, I’d have Oliver decked out in a Scandinavian wardrobe. Yep, that’s right, the stuff is also a little bit more expensive. Also, when comparing […]
