It took over three years, but at last- it’s done! Our roof deck is the latest addition to our home renovation.

I’ve always relied on Graco car seats and strollers for my two little ones. I find them so easy to use— making mommyhood a little less stressful and a bit easier.

Like most modern homes, at any given time— we could have up to six devices connected to wi-fi.
