Shoe Review: Dansko Hatty Sneaker
It’s another comfy shoe review coming back at you! I did a video review on my Instagram last week, but in case you don’t follow me over there, I’m bringing it to my blog! White sneakers are all the rage this spring. Probably because they go with everything: jeans, shorts, rompers, dresses, and workout clothing! Most of the shoe brands out there have soles that are as flat as a pancake and will leave your feet, legs, and back screaming in pain after standing on your feet for an hour at Costco. (Because let’s be real here, that’s essentially mom life. Costco plus Target, Sprouts, the playground, etc.) All of…

But after complaining to a friend that I didn’t have enough time to put on eyeliner, I realized that I was being a tad dramatic – it didn’t take THAT long eyeliner, right?

Pushing a double stroller will get me more fit than #crossfit
Okay, maybe that title is a slight exaggeration, but last month I started walking (okay, pushing) my kids to school in my double stroller. I have the bumble ride Indie twin, so it’s a jogging stroller and is about 34 pounds without kids….. Now, my 5 year old and 3 year old are built very sturdily (spitting image of me as a child) so this is no lightweight journey! Adding up the two kids and the stroller and it’s about 120 pounds that I’m pushing. (Probably explains why I tweaked my neck as I held onto the stroller and tried to push the crosswalk button at the same time, oops).…
