Stokke Scoot Stroller Giveaway

Every day, almost since birth, Ingrid and Travis take a little daddy daughter morning walk. It allows me to get some uninterrupted work done but also is a great bonding time for them. When she was a newborn he used a carrier for these morning walks but now that she's getting bigger and more interested in taking in the world around her our new Stokke Scoot stroller has been perfect. I love that it can face in or out and it's super light and compact, great for city dwellers with limited apartment space or as the perfect traveling companion for all the globetrotting families out there. Not to mention how modern and stylish it looks! It's probably my new favorite baby equipment. Which is why I'm so excited, that thanks to Stokke, I get to give one away to one lucky reader! This is by far the best giveaway I've ever had so you don't want to miss out on it. Instructions are below, I will be picking the winner at random on February 23rd, one week from today. Good luck! Also make sure to check out the my Stokke travel inspired Pinterest board.
