Stokked Over Our Stokke
Stokke at Centennial Olympic Park!
We have had a total of four strollers so far and our son isn’t even three yet!
1. A mini one that was perfect for quick shopping runs; but became too small for his mega thighs shortly before he turned one.
2. A green standard sized stroller with a matching carseat that was a pain getting in and out of the car
3. A glorious BOB jogging stroller that is able to navigate every nook and crack of our intown neighborhood sidewalks, and the mixed terrain of Piedmont Park.
4. A $15.00 umbrella stoller that was an easier to remove from the trunk alternative to the green one; but has no maneuverability. Also there is no storage underneath and hanging a purse on it is not an option!
We gave the tiny one away to friends who had a baby small enough to fit into it. We use the BOB for all off-roading adventures; but it isn’t the easiest getting out of the trunk. Although the $15.00 one served us well, you can only take tiny steps behind it or risk stepping on the wheels. The green one was not an easy one-handed one like I needed ; but it was free. Somehow free trumped any drama I may have had with it. Why pay for one?
I recently bit the bullet and got a stroller that makes us all happy. We have a Stokke!
I was apprehensive about getting another stroller as Aaron is nearly three; but when he gets tired of walking my back gets tired of carrying him (did I mention I herniated two discs shortly after he was born?) The Stokke Scoot is easy to open and close, a breeze to get out of the car and the kid loves it. The size is perfect and will hold him up to 55 pounds!
Aaron is as happy as a clam in this!
One friend gave away her strollers once her son could walk more. We have always kept a stroller around for long walks and visits to the flea market where his little legs weren’t up to the task. This has been our favorite of all of the ones we have owned. I highly recommend you consider the Scoot or another from their line of strollers.
I think Aaron’s favorite part is that he sits higher in this one that all the others. Every kid wants a greater view of the world and this stroller givse him that. Of course he has the option to lay back in the stroller if the view begins to bore him.

Master’s Oh Master’s. I’m Talking Degrees, Not Slavery!
Recently I had an informational interview at Georgia Tech to find out more details about their School of Technology, History and Society. It was a great visit. I was most happy to learn that most of their Master’s level students are part-time and have worked in the real world for quite some time. I am looking forward to others with good life experience. Not that noobs don’t have a lot to offer; but us seasoned folks have a bit more flavor. Being with individuals who have the same educational goals as I do; but who come from various backgrounds and experiences is very exciting to me.
With this new found knowledge I have been face deep in GRE study cards. Praise Jesus the powers that be there do not expect my math scores to be high, although I don’t want to look like an idiot in that department. This is Georgia TECH after alI. Vocabulary and writing will be graded highly though. While I think I am rather well versed and articulate, Magoosh GRE Flashcards, and GRE Wordly are two aps that I am getting friendly with.
Off to study some math basics and a bit of vocabulary. When was the last time you used the word “aspirant”?
