<p>As mentioned in previous posts, I'll be doing lots of baby product reviews this winter and spring. So we were pretty excited when our first stroller &ndash; the <a href="http://www.stokke.com/en-us/stroller/stokke-xplory-concept.aspx">Stokke Xplory</a> &ndash; arrived in the mail. We purchased the <a href="http://www.stokke.com/en-us/nursery/stokke-sleepi-bed.aspx?_s_icmp=s12cB948">Stokke Sleepi </a>crib and <a href="http://www.stokke.com/en-us/nursery/stokke-care-changing-table.aspx">changing table</a> for our nursery nook (bought from <a href="http://www.giggle.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-giggle-Site/default/Default-Start">here</a>), so we've been big fans of the brand for quite awhile. When Stokke offered to ship me a stroller to test out on the streets of New York and beyond, I jumped at the chance. Here's a bit about our experience setting up the Stokke Xplory stroller...]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.jodikendall.com/blog/2012/1/25/my-week-in-five-sentences.html"><rss:title>My Week in Five Sentences</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.jodikendall.com/blog/2012/1/25/my-week-in-five-sentences.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Jodi Kendall</dc:creator><dc:date>2012-01-25T15:15:44Z</dc:date><dc:subject>baby dog family five sentences personal</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;">I finished a project for our gallery wall...&nbsp;</p>

<div>So, yesterday was my birthday. We usually make a big to-do of our birthdays with either a trip or fun activity (last year I was at <a href="http://www.jodikendall.com/blog/tag/florida">Disney</a> with my family, and we recently saw Warhorse for my husband's special day...) But this year, being as massively <a href="http://www.jodikendall.com/blog/category/family">pregnant</a> as I am, my main goal was to relax. I slept in nice and late, did some writing, attended a <a href="http://www.jodikendall.com/blog/2011/11/29/prenatal-yoga.html">prenatal yoga class</a>, and then we went down to the West Village for an upscale dinner (and to experience the first night of <a href="http://www.nycgo.com/restaurantweek">NYC's Restaurant Week</a>!).
