Emma's Edition

4 Months Postpartum Update: I’ve been trying to get my steps in 😅 And one way I do that is with stroller walks!

I love a good neighborhood walk, especially as the weather gets nicer outside. We’ve been using our stroller system since 2023! I’m so happy we invested in this stroller system but we still need a double stroller for our toddler and 4 month old.

Anyone else postpartum this season? How’s it going?
