The seat is the most comfortable of all the strollers I’ve tried. Click here and use code VERYBEST50 for $50 off.

MOVING & STORAGE

I’ve been living in Manhattan for years, we were planning to move to NJ this summer because my husband’s glaucoma practice is there. Due to COVID-19, we moved in with my in-laws in NJ temporarily and are putting our personal belongings in temporary / accessible storage with Make Space and moving into longer term storage with Roadway Moving. I was able to secure discounts with both companies (terms and conditions may apply). More details in my Instagram “moving” story highlights
