Use the Baby Deck Stroller to Stave off Germs – Part One

By Know-it-All Nikki 1 Comment

Is there any way to know if you are protecting your baby from the billions of germs and bacteria that lie in retail and grocery stores? I have to admit that until today I avoided taking Peanut out. Partly because of a nasty stomach virus that he came down with on the eve of Christmas Eve (which ended up infecting four of our six person household) and partly because I didn’t want to hassle with busy malls, after Christmas shoppers and the germs that lie waiting for us outside. I didn’t need any more germs.

And honestly, who does need more germs and illness entering their home?

Shopping carts have more germs than most public restrooms. Every time you put your child in a shopping cart, you are giving them free reign to slobber, chew and suck on a surface that has been touched repeatedly with filthy germ filled hands. We all know that not everyone washes after using a restroom but wouldn’t it be nice to know that the place your child is sitting and teething on isn’t swimming with bacteria like Ecoli? At this point, there is no public health law in place which states that stores must disinfect the shopping cart handle before the next person uses it. Plus the Baby Deck Stroller has a five point harness system to ensure that your baby is safe while riding in comfort. If you’ve ever placed your child in a shopping cart, you will know that often times the plastic piece that folds down over the seat basket is cracked or broken and the same goes for the seat restraint on the basket as well. I don’t know how many times I’ve been in a store and seen that the shopping carts couldn’t keep my child properly restrained because they were in disrepair.

There may not be a 100 percent assurance to protecting your child because germs are everywhere but for bacteria like Ecoli and Staph infections, including the more resistant one MRSA, using a stroller like the Baby Deck Stroller can offer added protection. I’m not saying you can protect your child from ever getting ill or contracting a virus by using the Baby Deck stroller. No, what I am saying is that an investment in a stroller like this can help prevent the spread of surface germs and bacteria to your baby.

I know that you can’t use your stroller every time you go into a store but for the occasions that you can, consider the health and safety risks of using shopping carts and the new super germs like MRSA that are becoming more resistant to treatments and antibiotics.

Some people would see this and say, "my God what a Some people would see this and say, "my God what a mess!" But I know the truth; it's September 2nd and I am one day late to making new batches of chai latte and hot chocolate mixes.
Why? Because #itsfallyall 
I know it may be sweltering where you are but for me, this is the unofficial start to my favorite season. Does that make me a basic bitch? Maybe, but I don't care.

That's right! There's a new post on the blog! I've That's right! There's a new post on the blog! I've wanted to write this one for awhile but wasn't quite sure how I felt. Then a conversation with a friend on Monday turned on the light bulb in my head and it was... EUREKA 💡. Has this ever happened to you?

When you're trying to find something to eat for lu When you're trying to find something to eat for lunch and didn't bring the big bag in to carry your wallet and phone, you decide you want a plastic basket like the one(s) @heatherspinsayarn and your daughter from another mother has. And once you have said basket, you get your lunch and checkout...

But THEN you decide the basket oils perfect for taking only the essentials into the library so you fill it with your WIP, the jerky your bought, pens, your journal, phone, wallet, and keys. And now you feel all minimalist even though the big bag is still in the car with everything else. 🤣
I decided today to clean out my bag. And by "bag", I decided today to clean out my bag. And by "bag", I mean the giant @landsend tote bag I received when I went to the last ever GOOD Type-A Mom conference in 2017.

My office has no door. If I'm in the middle of wor My office has no door. If I'm in the middle of work, a phone call, or the @stitchingthemilestogether podcast there are extreme measures I need to take in order to get some privacy.

The curtain is held closed by office binder clips (not just for files and potato chip bags anymore!) On the other side if the curtain is a baby gate because dogs are like moose and they will not be held back by binder clips.

Not the most flattering picture I've ever taken so Not the most flattering picture I've ever taken so you MUST know how much I love and miss Nickles Maple Twist Sweet Rolls. These were a staple growing up in Ohio and my kids love them too.
.
Now, of course I can't find them here in Alaska so when @heatherspinsayarn talked about ordering them for the station, I may have let out the saddest, lowest sigh on the planet. Heather pitied me so much she sent me a maple twist sweet roll package.
.
She requested a picture and this is probably the best evidence I can provide. I promise the moment I began chewing, I was smiling like a fool (with my mouth closed of course). .

After an abysmal birthday month, it's time to rese After an abysmal birthday month, it's time to reset some things and get myself into a better headspace.

But it isn't easy and I believe the words we use have the power to influence our mental health. Notice I use the words "Good choices"? That's because the word HABIT has negative connotations for me. 
.
It's doing something that I have chosen to do, over a habit I am enforcing on myself. I will be writing about this next week so be sure to check out the blog!
