Meet BOB



"The BOB" is my new best friend.

Not too long ago I came to the conclusion that our old double stroller just wasn't cutting it. It was a front to back stroller and was becoming impossible to push. The weight distribution was not good. I could barely make it around the block with that thing. And my kids are not getting any lighter!

With summer heat starting to subside, I really wanted to enjoy fall by getting out and about. And I was desperate to lose my last 10lbs of baby weight. So, we sold the old stroller on Craigslist and after some research (and recommendations from some folks) we decided to get a BOB Revolution Duallie. Can I just say - BEST MOVE OF MY LIFE!

This stroller is awesome. It's amazing how easy it is to maneuver with 2 kids in it. While the BOB is an investment (and ya all know how frugal I am!), I already feel like I've gotten my money's worth in just the 6 or so weeks that we've had it. We are walking A TON! My goal is to work up to running with it, but let's not go crazy just yet!

The kids love it. They both fit in it very well and enjoy being side by side.

 I absolutely love how big the canopies are. The kiddos have shade no matter what angle the sun is at. I bet you can't even tell that in the picture below Wes is actually snuggled up under the canopy.

 Yep, he's already taken a few naps in there!

I've been walking in the neighborhood with the boys in the mornings. We've been walking as a family in the evenings. We have taken many walks on a nearby trail. I also walk down the road (a few miles each way) to my grandma's for a visit. Since it's a jogging stroller, we've been able to take it on rougher terrain than we could before. Just this weekend we took the BOB to an outdoor fair at church that was on a lot of grass and it worked great. This stroller is also nice for X to hop in and out of too when he decides he wants to walk for a bit.

And I'm happy to report that as of this morning I'm FINALLY back to my pre-baby weight! YEAH!!!!! I guess the saying "9 months up, 9 months down" really is true. Imagine if I'd been walking like this 6 months ago.

Thank you BOB!
