Okay, so we had a big change over in our little world, we finally have a car! Let me clarify, we have our own car. We’ve been driving a rental for the last month. A rental that I was not insured on, meaning I couldn’t drive it. So this whole “we have our own car” thing is a big deal not only for me but for Sean too. I have freedom, he doesn’t have to play chauffeur all the time for me, so its a win for everyone. I mean the driving on the other side of the road is just a little part of that big deal right? Ha.
But in all the excitement of this new found freedom I really wanted to dedicate a post to pay tribute to “the buggy” (meaning the stroller).
This little red buggy has been the kids and my main mode of transportation for the past month. It has been used more in the last month than in the past year that we’ve had it. We love this thing. My top 5 reasons that I love it:
- It’s taught me that not having a car doesn’t mean I have to feel stuck. (To think outside the box for getting things taken care of and letting go of those things that really don’t have to be done right away.)
- That walking is not only good for me physically but especially mentally.
- It’s taught me to slow down and appreciate more of the beauty that God has created.
- Its the most perfect colour of neon red that I’ve ever seen and no matter how gloomy the day may be, it brightens my mood and lifts my spirits.
- Most of all its taught me to better slow down and appreciate being out with my kids, wether we are enjoying nature or grocery shopping (number 6 would have to be the extra large basket space underneath for said groceries).
Needless to say she has served us well and I plan to still use her on the daily at least once, even with the car.
