Once upon a time, grocery shopping was a team sport that my husband and I would confidently divide and conquer. Then our son was born. All of a sudden our well oiled machine fell apart and going to the grocery store was full of tears and screaming; not to mention the baby wasn’t enjoying it either. First I tried carrying him. This left me unable to push the grocery cart and I didn’t have enough hands to hold any groceries. Next, I put his car seat in the cart. It took up so much room I couldn’t buy anything. Finally, we decided to bring the stroller into the store. However, inevitably my son decided it was time to eat mid-way through our shopping trip. This lead to my husband having to push the stroller and pull the grocery cart by himself while I nursed our screaming son; see the result below (this photo was not posed; my husband didn’t even know he was being photographed).

Then I discovered BinxyBaby, a genius product that is essentially a hammock for the shopping cart. It can be used with the baby strapped directly into a three point harness, or you can place the car seat in the BinxyBaby and secure the car seat with a long strap.

Grocery shopping has never been my favorite thing, but with BinxyBaby Luke loves the feeling of riding in the grocery cart. I no longer have to rush through the grocery store as quickly as possible because my son is having a melt down. Plus, as a bonus I get to look down and see his sweet little face.

So far we have successfully shopped at Trader Joes, Vons, Albertsons, and Target. Of the places tried, the only carts I wasn’t able to use Binxy with were Babys-R-Us; the Velcro straps that secure Binxy to the cart aren’t quite long enough to fit through their cart holes and secure properly.

While the BinxyBaby is a pricey purchase, the peace of mind that comes with my son being safe and happy is more than worth it. As a special thank you for reading my review, here is a 10% off Coupon for BinxyBaby.

Noah turned 4 in January but I could not pass the Noah turned 4 in January but I could not pass the opportunity to share how much progress he has made! He has made so much progress this last year, his motor skills are VERY close to age level. And despite a diagnosis of Apraxia of Childhood he works tirelessly At communication and is the most social little boy. Full of love, life and compassion, Noah is pure sunshine. Determined to be independent he definitely keeps us on our toes but his smiles and laughter bring immense joy to all who meet him. To know Noah is to love him. 
Noah’s favorites include playdoh, lollipops, cars, legos, music, and art. 
Dislikes include sleeping in and anything that make him feel unsafe.

Isabella was a little uncertain about Santa this year. She LOVED talking to him but didn’t want to sit on his lap for more than 30 seconds. Noah on the other hand was his biggest fan. Luke is learned why all the Santa’s look different 😅

It happens so quickly, the beautiful Fall colors a It happens so quickly, the beautiful Fall colors are disappearing and winter’s cold temperatures are taking over Georgia. Just last week we were making leaf piles and wearing shorts. Now we hide in doors under blankets and search for ways to entertain tiny balls of energy. 
Sweet Isabella woke up in the wee hours with her first stomach bug. My heart breaks for her. What are your favorite ways to heal upset tummies? And to entertain siblings stuck indoors?
It has been a busy week! Luke started 1st grade an It has been a busy week! Luke started 1st grade and Noah returned to his special needs preschool (he goes 2 days/wk). 

This year I really struggled with the decision between homeschool and public school. For so many reasons my heart lies with homeschooling, but in the end we chose to let the boys choose and they both desired to be with their friends in public school. 

What type of schooling have you chosen for your kids and why?
