Check out our new favorite thing!

So after searching online and doing a TON of research on bicycle seats for Aurora, I finally decided on one!

I knew right away that I didn't want a trailer and I wasn't a huge fan of the ones that hook onto the back of the bike. Particularly because my bicycle has a heavy duty cargo rack attached to it that I'd have to remove.

That left me with pretty limited options. There was one that mounts on a rail between the seat and the handlebars, but my bicycle didn't have a long enough frame. Then I found one called the iBert that I really liked. It mounted on the handlebar stem which made it perfect for my bike and it was getting amazing reviews. However, it only came in a strange green and orange color and it was pretty expensive so I had a hard time committing to it. Well, lo and behold a month later when I decided to break down and buy it... There it was on Amazon; $15 cheaper and in PINK! Decision made! Two days later the seat and a tiny helmet arrived in the mail! Unfortunately, it was raining so our first ride had to wait until the next day. 

What the heck is this... a new hat?

This is Aurora "hugging" the box. She's a little strange haha.

It was super easy to install! Looks good, right? 

Aurora was so excited to get in it! She kept pointing at my bike yelling "vroom vroom!"!

Vroom!

We had a blast riding about the neighborhood. She learned to say "Whee!" and waved at everyone. She even clapped her hands a  bunch of times. Everyone one we passed on the street got a kick out of her!

And of course we had to stop for a snack!

Mmm... fruit cup!

It looks like this bike seat with be getting a TON of use! Aurora loves it, I love it and we get tons of compliments when we're out. I cant wait to start taking some longer rides! <3

Shopping for new insurance? Here are some tips!

Many people don't consider looking for a less expensive auto insurance policy simply because they’ve payed their premiums for so long. It becomes a routine to just write a check every month and continue coverage. You should pay close attention to the price trend of your insurance policy. many companies are willing to offer discounts to new customers as part of the marketing effort aimed at people who are dissatisfied with their coverage. If you can’t convince your current insurer to cut back on those added expenses, then take the time to look for a new company.

If you or someone else on your policy are classified as “high-risk” by your insurance company, your premiums will skyrocket. There is no choice but to accept the higher cost. However, after two years of safe driving, and paying high premiums, it may be time to search for new insurance that is cheaper. A new company may be able to start you out at lower premiums for similar coverage.

Moving to a different address can also impact your car insurance policy. Different areas are not rated the same by insurance companies. Your insurer will adjust your policy’s cost after the move. This is a great opportunity to see what other insurance companies are offering in your new neighborhood. Moving from a city to a rural area could result in hundreds of dollars in savings per year.

Insurance companies will typically look at the last five years to determine what kind of driver you are. If you  have no incidents in five years, you may ask any insurance company you do business with to recognize that they should be offering their best rates. If they offer anything less, you should start hunting for a new policy. It is very easy to find car insurance rates online, where you can find quotes from several reputable insurance companies who are eager for your business. Don't be afraid to ask for discounts! Good luck!
