Bonnie Hoellein: Joel Had A Really Nice Time ;) Part 3

[PostyMcPosterston]

Oh the seat on top of the cart thing bugs me so much when I see people doing it in Walmart. Though, when my oldest was a baby I did it because his seat had the "compatibility" for carts; I didn't know at the time that that was unsafe too! I hope she at least has one person telling her about it because it IS very dangerous! I have to fight the urge to stop anyone I see doing it because it freaks me out so much now! Lol. I can never do huge grocery trips anymore because of my baby taking up the whole shell of the cart though. Those carts with the baby seat strappy things are always way out of reach for me to use them. Lincoln should be able to sit up in the seat soon though!

Wow, that whole paragraph was all over the place.. And I don't wanna fix it.

I highly suggest Babywearing while grocery shopping with your babe. They get lulled to sleep and you have an entire space for groceries!

I once forgot my Tula at home and had to use the car seat in the cart... And of course my
2 yr old MUST have the car attached cart. I had next to 0 space!

Oh man, that sounds like fun! Those ones with the car attached are so hard to steer! I bought a Boba wrap several months ago and my girl haaaaaated it! Lol. She loves to be held, but being wrapped up I guess is too much for her. She's nearly 8 months old now, so I think with a little shopping cart cover and being buckled in, she should be good and I'll get to do big grocery trips again! And my 4-y/o will love sitting in the basket part. Sitting ONLY, of course!

Anyhoo, sorry to veer off on the personal side so much, y'all!

I didn't know until my fourth baby that you weren't supposed to put the car seat on the cart like that. And I learned it from baby center. If I hadn't read there I still might not know!

Manly Things was super cute. I noticed in the comments tons of people asking how they can buy Joels mothers swaddle blankets. I have to admit I'd be interested too!

This is actually why I tell people when I see them doing unsafe things. Many simply don't know. It's not because I'm a sanctimommy or get my jollies from it (it's actually very unnerving, because some people react poorly).

Ultimately it's the parents choice, but I have always been so thankful when people tell me something is unsafe. If nobody told me, I wouldn't know.

Yeah, I wouldn't be offended if someone approached me and was nice (not demeaning) about it. The cart thing isn't something anyone tells you. Actually I've learned most of what I know about car seat safety from mommy forums. Not all mom's participate in those, so I can see how there can be gaps.

I haven't had a baby in a car seat/carrier for 18 years, and I had no clue it was dangerous. It's good to know!

The latest "Manly Things" video was so great! I love that Joel had Olivia along with him again.

I don't like how in the target parking lot and walking in to target her and Ellie were walking ahead and the kids were way behind. Kids can be snatched away in a second or be ran over. I like Bonnie though. I know it's hard with 4 kids.

Joel looked sooo handsome in the suit waiting to go to the funeral, but while watching his purrty mouth speak, couldn't help but think about Bonnie saying he has really bad breath.

[PostyMcPosterston]

crazy how he's probably the only YouTube daddy that we aren't like "omg vomit!!!!" Even with stinky breath.

[PostyMcPosterston]

And him making an atypical "manly" thing manly was awesome. So many swoons, I'm sure.

The new baby care packages were such a sweet idea. I loved that camper print fabric Joel's mom used for the swaddle blankets.

[saltliferocks]

Does anyone know if Joel's mom sells her blankets? They are really cute.

Joel is the type of husband every woman vies for. Although I'm a married woman myself I can have a little crush on him. Like they say, you can look but you can't touch. I don't know how Bonnie does it with 4, patients must be a virtue for her. One of their sisters has 6 I would not be able to handle that many. I would prefer to baby wear while going about the mall or store if I was out. The carrier is heavy let alone with a infant who grows even more heavy over time. Plus you have the diaper bag and a purse if you take that with you and if you have extra kids as well. Baby wearing at least you have your two hands free and the child is safe and you can handle things better.

I still wear my 2 year old on my back sometimes. Although that's mostly because he's a bit of a runner, and just full on in general. Plus I've got my hands full with the other two. Baby wearing is my saviour.

[PostyMcPosterston]

Babywearing FTW.

Just started watching today's vlog. Wonder if Bonnie and Joel discussed the bath-gate. Because the kids were in the bath while Bonnie was filming Lincoln outside in the hall- and the kids sounded like they were being cute in the bath too "I love you too!" Lol but Bonnie restrained from panning over to the bathtub. I'm so glad. Hope she keeps up that standard. The boys were cuddling in the bed with her without shirts but I view that as a lot less harmless than bath time. I mean they swim without shirts, can't be crazy anal about it.

[queenieme]

I was just coming here to mention something about the bath scene. I think she's learned her lesson about showing the kids in the tub, which is great!

Also, I loved how the boys were playing in the backyard. Total typical boys but it was so cute to see. They weren't inside watching tv or playing with electronics like most kids these days. That's one thing about Bonnie, she definitely encourages the kids to play outside.
