One of the most under-utilized accessories in the Stokke Xplory line – in my opinion – is the mosquito net... But here's why it may be good to keep it handy in that shopping bag. Read on for tips and photos on how to use the mosquito net...

In today's guest post, Meghan addresses a commonly-asked question regarding the Stokke Xplory stroller: how hard is it to collapse? As Meghan and her family live in a suburb in New Jersey where most of their errands require driving, she's the perfect person to give the inside-scoop on the portability of this award-winning pram...

We brake for blossoms! Here in New York, the cherry blossom trees are just at-peak or a bit past peak. Riverside Park on the west side is so beautiful this time of year. We don't play in the grass & mud nearly as much as we should, so today I took my 14-mth old son on a stroll + blossom walk...

We purchased the Stokke Care from Giggle here in New York City when I was in my second trimester. For the first time, after a whole year of testing this product, I'm sharing my view on this product. Are you in the market for a changing table for the little one? Read on to learn why we chose the Stokke Care, its ease of use and maintenance, and our overall opinion on this product after a one year test...

My newest product reviewer, Andrea, is due in just *five* weeks with their first child, a baby girl! And seriously, doesn't she look amazing?! I'm so thrilled for these two. It wasn't that long ago that we put ours together, and it was all entirely surreal... It felt like I'd been pregnant for.ev.er and the whole idea of taking my son or daughter for a stroll still seemed unbelievable. So while we're all holding our breath to see her sweet baby's face, Andrea is sharing on the blog today about her countdown to delivery day and setting up their Stokke Xplory stroller...

Since one of my product reviewing superstars Meghan also owns a Stokke Xplory pram (which I reviewed after extensive testing in New York City), I asked her to share a few thoughts on ownership from her suburban point of view to help prospective customers make a smart buying decision. Here's what Meghan had to say...

For today's guest post, Meghan –one of my closest friends (and trusted product reviewers!) – shares her thoughts on the Stokke blue versus black mélange textiles on her Xplory pram. Upon first glance, these two fabrics are strikingly similar – in the dim lighting of her living room, we at first couldn't even tell the difference! But, stroll out into the natural light, and there's a few things that makes them stand apart from one another. Torn between purchasing the limited edition blue mélange or black mélange fabrics for your Stokke Connection stroller or newest accessory? Here are Meghan's thoughts for you...

A few weeks ago I attended Stokke's VIP press party and had the opportunity to see their brand-new Connection stroller models, Crusi and Scoot, first-hand. These two models join Stokke's hot selling, ultra-luxe, "Higher is Better" mentality stroller the Xplory (which I reviewed most recently here) to make a three-design line-up, each catering to a specific niche in the market. For the last two weeks, I've been testing a Stokke Scoot here in Manhattan. It's their most compact, travel-friendly stroller of the three models and boasts an impressive variety of premium features (as one would expect from this posh Norweigian brand.) After some pretty extensive testing on public transportation and across New York City – from strolling near the GW Bridge, through Central Park, and zipping around the zoo – here's my full, in-depth review on this hot-on-the-market stroller with *TONS* of glossy photographs and even a little video captured along Broadway...

pushing the cute Scoot! and Townes is in the Stokke MyCarrier
Tonight, baby Townes and I zipped down to the super swanky Glass Houses in Chelsea for the VIP Stokke press party. On the agenda? To check out the new, much-buzzed-about Connection strollers. As blog followers know, we've tested (and love) the Stokke Xplory (read the review here and textile review here.) The Crusi and Scoot models are nearing their launch state-side – exciting for those of us who are big brand fans – and here are my initial impressions...

After I posted this photo of our little turkey on Thanksgiving, emails swarmed my inbox with questions about the high chair. So, after four months of testing the Stokke Tripp Trapp – for both a baby and an adult – here's all the juicy details on this modern high chair design...

Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday! We spent the morning at the Macy's Day Parade and just enjoyed a fabulous feast of all our favorite dishes. Wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving, from our turkey to yours. xo

Sunday was a really fun day. The parks opened back up (they've been closed due to Hurricane Sandy damage & last week's Nor'easter) & the weather was refreshingly cool, but mild. So we went to Central Park to admire the last of the colorful leaves and enjoy Jazz and Colors, an annual outdoor live jazz festival that features 30 musicians in 30 different locations in the park playing the same setlist. It was a magical way to say goodbye to the season. The entire park was alive with music wafting on the air and vibrant color on the trees. Here's a few pics from our stroll...

It's officially fall – yay! – and my favorite season for enjoying the outdoors. Anyone who knows me in real life knows how much time I spend walking the streets of the city. I mentioned a bit about it in this post-pregnancy fitness post, but I generally walk twice a day with my son in the stroller and then once in the evening with him in a baby carrier (aiming to go at least 2-3 miles a day.)
