Dear Mr. Stroller Inventor...

Dr. Mr. Stroller Inventor,

You must be a man, because a woman would have thought of everything. You see, I have been shopping for at least six months for a double stroller. I have found one but don't really want to take out a second mortgage for a stroller that doesn't come with it's own GPS, Chauffeur, and Starbucks dispenser. I would like to spend less than $200 and this is why. You see, you have failed to design a stroller that takes me through the length of my young child raising years. So I have three strollers already, and am sick that I have to buy another to meet a short term need. Why couldn't you make one stroller that takes us from the birth of our first child, through the toddler years of our last? One that will accompany me while I shed all those extra baby pounds as well as Christmas shopping at the mall. A stroller that comfortably seats my newborn and my toddler, but doesn't steal all my valuable cargo room. And finally, because I don't think this is too much to ask, when my toddler is a boy, and doesn't need to be pushed around, I want to push the same stroller and not look like I forgot a kid in the car.

I guess this is too much to ask, but if you could get your assistant on it, because I'm sure she's a woman and totally understands my plight, I would really appreciate it!

Thanks for your fast action,
a Mom

P.S. I forgot, but a cup holder is a must. Do you really think that any of us can make it through a trip with kids without at least one drink for mom and one if not two more for the kids?

Mom Tip: YouTube Hair Help!

If you're anything like me, your hair is the last thing you think about during an average day. Okay, maybe my toenails are the last, but right now they actually have paint on them.
I found this great YouTube resource today. I'm not much of a make-up/hair kind of girl. I think I mostly just don't know what to do or how. In just a few quick minutes I have learned two new tricks while sitting at my kitchen counter! Check them out, and find other great tips for hair and skin care at
