Hi. You can call me Bernadette. I am petite. My mom is petite. My grandma is petite. And, there is a 90% chance that her mom, her grandma, and so on were also petite. Most of my female relatives are petite, but not very, very, very petite like me. I am super petite.
Petite is really just a fancy way to say short. No one calls me petite except for the companies who sell me clothes, but I like it. Others call me tiny, lil bit, small fry, 12 yr. old... However, to the two most important people to me, I am mom. My two wonderful children are so amazing. I feel guilty using the time I can be devoting to them to blogging, but writing is an outlet I always enjoyed in the past.
I decided to start this blog when my husband talked me into buying the "perfect" stroller. It had a large canopy, laid flat, and could fit in the small trunk of my sedan. It steered well and it had very good reviews. I loved everything about it. It was perfect. Except, the perfection stopped right on my boobs. It was not made for petites like me who are less than 5 ft. tall. The stroller handle stopped right on my chest. He suggested I could wear heels. I toyed with the idea a bit because this stroller was amazing and on clearance. Then I realized it was the crazy 36-week pregnant lady talking. I ccould not even walk straight without tripping on myself wearing flats, imagine with heels? He said I would have the stroller to lean on! I was sad to bring it back to the store. Okay, it was the
Baby Jogger City Micro from Target.
That was when I realized, my height made a difference when it came down to caring for my children. With my first child, my husband was always around and I did not need to have the right gear to do anything. He carried her everywhere or we had our trusty umbrella stroller we bought at
Babies R Us for $9.99 if we needed it. This time around, I am on my own during the first year of our son's life with a five-year old that seems to know everything. With sore arms and puffy eyes, I am on a quest to making all of our lives happier and simpler. I hope to share my experiences with you!
This is how this blog begins. I have written blogs as diaries before, so adding an informative twist is very new to me. I hope to share what products and tricks work best for me as a petite mom. Enjoy and laugh at my mishaps and learn from them.
I would like to know the kinds of Google searches you've done in hopes to find reviews strictly related to being a petite parent.
