The Best Baby Stroller

I just found the best baby stroller. It is not very vintage looking. In fact it is the nicest baby stroller I have seen that has a contemporary style.

A company called Peg Perego makes this particular baby stroller, which is very lightweight and portable. They of course have their own website if you want to look at the features in detail but as a mom I can definitely describe it's virtues. The one you want to look at is called the Pliko P3 Classico stroller and it is a high fold up stroller.

This stroller is compact. It is so light and handy you can practially fold it up and put it in your pocket. It is very lightweight so you don't have to worry about straining your back as you throw it in the back of your car. It folds up really small. It reminds me of an origami paper sculpture.

This particular baby stroller has all of the benefits of a much larger stroller including a click on infant seat (that you have to buy separate), a clip on seat and a padded five point harness to keep your precious little passenger safe and also comfortable. The five point harness is crucial to look for when buying a stroller as it helps prevent your kid from falling forward, sideways or any which way should you somehow lose control of the stroller.

The big bonus with this stroller is that it is so easy to fold up as well. None of this kicking it with your foot or straining your elbows as you try to get rusty parts to click together. Who wants to arm wrestle with the aluminum limbs of a fold up stroller.

The Pliko P3 Classico stroller also has a lightweight aluminum frame and resembles an umbrella stroller. You can put it in your purse, never mind your car. You can take it on a train or plane with no worries. It weighs in at sixteen pounds so it can easily be packed away just about anyway.

This beautiful and comfortable designer stroller also has extendable handles that adjust easily to the height of differently sized parents. You simply adjust and secure the handles in one deft move. This really helps if one of you is way taller and is always bending over to push the stroller. Also once you adjust it just doesn't come loose. The stroller is very reliable this way.

It is also a very strong stroller considering that it seems so flimsy when you are folding it up. It can take a lot of weight including extra kids and shopping bags and other cargo. If you have a toddler as well this stroller is equipped with footrests so another kid can jump on the sideboard and hitch a ride just as if they were characters in the movie –Bonnie and Clyde

Anti-Flu Juices and Broths

Inspired by the last blog I decided to come up with my own Anti-Flue Juicing Recipes.

Here are some juicing recipes that can help treat the symptoms and causes of the flu –

Immune System Builder Tonic

The garlic and Vitamin A content help restore lost minerals and electrolytes to the body.

Handful of parsley
1 garlic clove
5 carrots
3 stalks of celery

Bunch up the parsley and push it through the hopper of your juicer with the carrots and celery and drink immediately for best results.

Potassium Broth

Sometimes a person with the flu can tolerate lukewarm broths better than sweet or salty juices. This is a juice that can be served hot or cold that is valuable when it comes to replacing fluids that have been lost through diarrhea or through a high fever.

Handful of parsley
Handful of spinach
4 to 5 carrots
2 stalks celery

Push parsley and spinach leaves and push them through the juicer hopper. The juice the carrots and celery. Drink immediately or warm in a saucepan and serve as a clear soup.

Anti-Dizzy Tonic

The flu can make people dizzy either due to dehydration or to congestion. The following recipe contains ginger root juice, which is the classic remedy for dizziness.

¼ inch slice of ginger root
4 to 5 carrots
half an apple, seeded

Push the fruits and vegetables through a hopper and serve as immediately for best results.

Fever Fighter

The cucumber is a vegetable with a cooling effect on the body.

Cucumber with skin removed
Dash of salt

Juice cucumber and serve as is to fight dehydration.

Sinus Clearing Tonic

Radish is traditionally used to clear phlegm from the body.

2 whole red radishes
1 tomato
2 celery sticks
2 carrots'
handful of parsley

Push ingredients through the juicer's hopper and serve immediately. Even holding this juice in one's mouth for one or two moments will increase its effectiveness.

Body Rebuilder Juice

This vegetable cocktail contains a lot of greens and sprouts which contain all types of enzymes that can help clear and rebuild a body that has been battered and weakened by a bout with a cold or flu.

1 cup alfalfa sprouts
½ cup cabbage sprouts
½ cup asparagus stems
5 kale leaves
1 medium carrot

Push all ingredients through the hopper of your juicer. Drink immediately. For optimum results hold the juice in your moth for a few moments so that the enzymes can accomplish their beneficial work.

Flu Prevention Cocktail

The grapes have potent antiviral and antibacterial activity.

2 apples without seeds
1 large bunch of grapes, off the vine
1 lemon

Juice all of the ingredients. Serve as is or over ice.

The key to getting a sick person to drink juices is to serve them with plenty of water in case the taste is too strong. Also drinking juices with small sips is better then drinking no juice at all if the person is having trouble keeping juice down
