In March, I was lucky enough to get to travel to Phoenix to enjoy a tour of Hickman’s farm!
I can honestly tell you after viewing the farm and how clean they keep it made made me an egg fan for life. I love that my kids can start their day off right with a balanced breakfast along with a serving of yummy eggs.

I have never been to an egg farm before was so impressed with all of the measures they take to keep our eggs clean. When the employees drive into work everyday their vehicle tires drive through a sanitizing rinse..this rinse removes all of the contaminants that could harm the chickens.
I couldn’t believe it…but was so happy when I learned about all of those measures they do everyday to protect our families. Even our shoes went through a chlorine mat that kills any germs we tracked in.

The Hickman’s farm was amazing and to see all of the chickens in the cages was a sight to see. Those birds have it good…four meals a day and nap-time. I know a lot of you are thinking CAGES!!!! AHHHHH! YES, cages are the way to go…they are protected, in air conditioning, they are not pecked to death and they feed 4 times a day. They have it really good and I prefer the caged birds over the CAGE-FREE! WHY??

Well, the cage free are still in a cage..but it is much bigger and the birds sometimes peck each other to death because of pecking order. Also, the eggs drop down onto the ground and can land in fecal matter or all kinds of disgusting things…because they fall on the ground. YUCK!!

Did you know that California is trying to pass a law that all eggs farms must go CAGE FREE in 2015?? OMG!!! We have to stop that law from passing!

Please buy plain white eggs for your family!!
They are the best in my opinion!!!

This season we have been using our newest and coolest product that I swear was made for Russell and I. The Easy Stroll is an ergonomic stroller handle that allows you to push the stroller with one hand comfortably. I love it cause it is made to suit taller parents and you know that we are over 6 foot tall so it is the perfect product for us.
Now that we can finally get out into the beautiful Michigan air….this product goes everywhere with us.
Easy Stroll™ is the most meaningful advancement in strollers and will be on every parents want list this year. Easy Stroll™ also promotes proper posture to eliminate back and arm strain while pushing a stroller. Fits on most strollers that have standard handles with rubber or foam hand grips. We highly recommend this product..it is made well and will make life with baby easier. Pick up one for the next baby shower gift.

Easy Stroll™ is one product with two benefits…

Convenience and Comfort.

Convenience… East Stroll provides total control of the stroller with just one hand. Your free hand can swing naturally as it would while walking without a stroller or can be used for other tasks, such as carrying a bag of groceries or holding hands with another child. A free hand is needed at some point virtually every time a stroller is used. Easy Stroll gives you this new freedom.

Comfort… Easy stroll is an ergonomic stroller handle that promotes proper posture. Baby Strollers without Easy Stroll require two hands for operation. “Hunching” over the stroller puts an unnatural curve in your spine. Unfortunately, these improper body mechanics are unavoidable when pushing a stroller with two hands. Over time, it manifests itself as fatigue and/or discomfort in the back and arms. The good news is Easy Stroll fixes the problem. Using single handed operation, Easy Stroll straightens your back and allows for “normal” posture when pushing the stroller. There is no arm or back strain.

Easy Stroll works on most strollers that have standard handles with rubber or foam hand grips. Easy Stroll does not work with Umbrella type stroller handles or strollers with hard plastic hand grips.
