Running Errands with 2 Kiddos Made EASY Peasy

I am always on the go! I really can’t sit still so I was REALLY worried that I wouldn’t be able to run around as much with the birth of my second. I did stay close to home for a few weeks, but Grayson was just a few weeks old when I decided to take them both out for errands. It wasn’t as bad as I had thought! It is more work with two and it takes more time with two, but you can still get the job done :) We even go out to lunch just the 3 of us and it really is all good!! All in all, having my second really hasn’t slowed me down… actually, I think we do even more now than I did with just Cody! I have learned a few things though on how to make running errands with 2 kiddos a little easier!

I have talked before about how I LOVE my wristlet wallet. I think this is a MUST for when you are out running around. If you are just running into a store for a quick sec you can throw that on and not have to take your diaper bag in with you.  It also makes it easy when you are holding a little one at the check out counter and you don’t have enough free hands to dig into your bag to find your wallet.It is right there :)

Another thing I LOVE is my PPB backpack diaper bag. I have had the shoulder diaper bag and in my opinion, a back pack is a MUST HAVE!! It distributes the weight evenly, it isn’t hitting people in the head when you are going through a restaurant (!), and it doesn’t fall off your arm 24-7. I love my PPB because I can wear it as a shoulder bag or backpack so when I am just out with Cody I can use it like a purse!

My other FAV are my “belay” hooks. It may sound crazy, but you can hook just about anything together! I have a hook on my key ring so I can either attach my keys to my wristlet and have it all in one spot or I hook it to my belt looks or on my diaper bag so I always have my keys handy. I have a hook on my diaper bag to hook my snack bag and keep my hands as free as possible. Trust me, THEY WORK WONDERS for EVERYTHING!!

Lastly, I love my carriers. I have a few that I rotate through, but as the kids get bigger I prefer my Ergo. This is just another way to allow me to be hands free!

O.k. so you can call me a pack rat, but I always have what I need! Here I am going to an event… I have Grayson in the Ergo, I have snack bag hooked to my diaper bag (which is out of my way as a back pack) and I still have one hand free for my biz bag and one hand for Cody to hold onto! Who says us mamas can’t do it all?!!
