A Stroll on Two Pigs Farm

If you have ever been to Vermont you know it's a bit more relaxed. It was exactly what we were looking for on our four day trip with family...eating, drinking, and laughing. Our stroll started on the 23rd of December...we would be the first of the four couples to arrive at Two Pigs Farm for Christmas weekend. So we unpacked and set out for our live Christmas tree. A few miles later we arrived in a small town in New York...just over the Vermont border...to a place that sold Christmas trees... we were prepared with a set of cotton cloves and clippers and a tarp to haul it home..."What size truck do you have?" asked the gentleman - Ha we have a Saab sedan. "Ha ha good luck" he said with a smile. So with John's friendly holiday spirits, he helped us saw the tree down from a 10 footer to a 6 footer...we clipped some branches for swags and clipped some more. She packed beautifully into the trunk...and into the back seats as well.

Being as we were the first to arrive at the farm, it was our duty to create the menu and cook for our Christmas Eve fish fry. After the Christmas Vigil, we set up and prepared to create our version of a traditional fish fry...organic style. The menu consisted of organic mushrooms stuffed with organic crabmeat, stuffed organic jumbo shrimp, organic linguini with clams, and organic chocolate chip cookies. Preparing all of this food was quite a task, but being in a professional kitchen made it much easier. Two Pigs Farm happens to be the set for a country cooking show, so all of the essential tools are at your fingertips. Several hours later after everyone had arrived from their long trips, we sat down to eat our organic fish fry just before Midnight.

Our First Stroll

It's the last day of the month and our first day of all. Our little organic blanket company Strollie.com has been born. Premature, maybe but today is our day. We wanted to launch our site during the month of November because it's Prematurity Awareness Month (for the last seven years the March of Dimes has adopted this beautiful month to celebrate and bring awareness to all little babies born before 37 weeks gestation.) This is an important cause dear to our hearts. All little babies deserve the opportunity to arrive with a full 9 months of travel inside their Mommy. Every Apgar test should be a ten...But that's not the case here in the United States...we have just received a "D" grade over-all. The number of little babies born premature keeps increasing every year. Out of our passion for cute healthy babies, organics, America, traveling, Nantucket, living on the water, weekends in snowy Vermont, cooking great food, long strolls around town, spending cozy nights by the fire, practical, durable, functional, and long lasting items, ....Strollie™ blankets were born. We decided that we wanted to dedicate our company to helping wipe out premature births in this great country of ours. Strollie.com is committed to giving back 10% of all profits (through our charity program Comfort For The Cure
) to American premature Babies in need, one Strollie™ blanket at a time.

We have designed a cute healthy, organic, wool blanket personalized for a child's healthy active lifestyle. Our blankets are offered in four seasonal weights: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall...because every season needs a soft baby blanket. Offered in three sizes: Sleep, Sit and Stand each designed as the perfect companion for the different adventures during your child's busy day... in the stroller, car seat or crib. We offer monogramming for your Strollie™...only one initial in a block or script font....the first initial from your babies first or last name, which ever you like best.

Come visit us online at Strollie.com. A Strollie™ is a great gift for the little button in your life, or for anyone who likes to stroll more comfortably...it's always better with a blanket or two. We'll see you next week...Lets chat about where you like to stroll with your little angel. Be it your baby or your honey.

...Happy Strolling
