Desperation is the mother of invention

I love running errands. I love going out for lunch.  I love shopping.  After I had Piper I had several flip out moments where Piper would start screaming bloody murder while we were out...  out as in 30 minutes from home.   And I'd have to make several stops along the way so that I could get in the back, take her out of her seat and try to get her to quiet down.   I know this is just something most new mothers go through.  Which is why I guess people stop going out after they've had a baby.  But see, I'm selfish enough to think this is absolutely unacceptable.  I wanna still be able to go to Homegoods, dangit.  There's no telling what kind of deals I'm missing out on.  

So long story short, I've discovered that if I throw a blanket or pull the car seat and stroller cover together, she will sleep.   And I mean sleep like hours.   But a blanket falls and you don't always have the stroller with you.   So I found this product called the snooze shade.  It's basically a cover for the car seat and stroller that you velcro in place and it's black so it throws them into darkness.   I paid something like $30 for it.  

Guess what I figured out today?   A changing table cover does the same thing and it costs considerably less.   And it works on both the stroller and the car seat.

I ordered the snooze shade from amazon so there's no refunds.  

Stupid snooze shade.

P.S. - I'm not gonna say I'm a genius for thinking of the changing table cover.   I'm too humble.
