. . SHOP THE POST . .
We love to get out and do lunch + shop with friends during the week while the bigger people are in school. Staying inside all day is not an option!! I know you moms get me when I say that! I’ve had a bunch of you ask how we manage all the littles when we are out. So I thought I’d share three of my favorite go-to’s to help make the outing go more smoothly!
Three things I always try to have on hand are:
plenty of snacks : I put each child’s snacks in an individual bag. Once we get home from Costco we will divide up all the snacks in baggies and have them ready to go. That way, when we are heading out the door the kids can each just grab a bag.
water or a drink for everyone : I’ve learned this the hard way. No one wants to share. We always run out sooner than I thought. Then we have a bunch of whiny thirsty little people. So awhile back I just went and bought everyone their own colored water bottle so everyone know whose is whose and it has made a huge difference.
a simple stroller with all the accessories : Right now Houston is going through a phase of wanting to be “big” and get out of the stroller, so I’ve been whipping out our bugaboo bee 5 stroller when I can. He’s always wanting to help push baby Harper since he’s been seeing the big kids help out a lot lately. Again, I’ve learned the hard way and never really bought the extra tray or cup holder for myself, but those simple items help free up my hands and add for extra places to put things!!
If you know me well, you know I always go against the grain. I love to be different and not have the same things, house, style, you name it as everyone else. haha. It drives Joe absolutely crazy!! Especially with building our new house right now. He’s wondering why I can’t just be normal and do what everyone else is doing. (boring right?!) haha.
Anyway, I just love that you can customize almost every detail of the Bugaboo Bee 5 to make it your own!! Whether it is something as big as the seat color or sun canopy, or the tiny details like handlebar grips and wheel caps, you can pick everything just like you designed it yourself! And who doesn’t love to play designer and add a little personal touch? The Bugaboo Bee 5 is designed for newborn to toddler + can be used with an easy-to-carry bassinet, so it is the perfect fit for our family while we are changing out which child is riding at different times!
Now tell me some of your favorite tips + tricks to help make your outing with your littles run more smoothly!! I’d love to hear all your great ideas or favorite stroller accessory must haves!!

The comfort board is really useful with the bee5!
Tendai!!
A lot of my readers have been saying that!! I’m so glad you told me + now I think we have to go get it!!
Thanks!!
We love our Bee 3! And now that we have two daughters, we got the wheelie board for our oldest which is amazing. Since it has its own seat, we don’t need a double stroller. Every single time I go out someone comments on how cool the board is! And totally the same about snacks and water while out with the littles.
AHHH Misha!!
I love that someone else loves their bee!! Yeah I’ve thought about getting the board so now I totally think we have to get it now. Thanks for the tip!!
