Cookies


I got these little beauties on sale the day after St. Pattys day... and they are just delicious! I didn't want the baby to be left out and not have any green...

Double stroller opinions please

I need your help. I ended up taking back our double jogger stroller. It had been falling apart since the day we bought it so I finally got the nerve to take it back. We did not have the receipt nor did they have it on file still, so we received a gift card to Academy. Well to make a long story short they had no other jogger strollers and weren't about to order me one, so me and Ryan got to go on a $180 shopping spree... so now I look all athletic in my Nike, but I am not.
I have given up on the dream of being a runner. I think I am more cut out to be a fast walker. So I no longer need the jogger, just a regular old double stroller. There is just one condition: it can not be a side by side. As everyone in the Semmes post office witnessed today my children can no longer sit in a side by side. They know each other exist now and and both know how to push the other's buttons.

So with all that said, I need your opinion. I have it narrowed down to two:

The Graco Quatro Duo. I love our Graco single stroller that we had with Garrison. It was wonderful. I was set on buying this until I found this little number...

Its a Joovy Sit and Stand. I love it because it is not as huge as an SUV, but really, do you think Garrison would sit on that little bench? He still needs a five point harness, well, I still WANT him in a five point harness! Does anyone have this stroller and use it successfully with a two year old?


I am leaning more towards the Graco... but is there some other awesome double stroller out there that I am not aware of? Please let me know!

How do you do it?

<span class=

I have had a few people ask how I manage to not go crazy with an 18 month old and a soon to be 2 month old. Well, the secret is out- I do not do it alone. Let me introduce you to my friend, Starbucks. I admit it- I go almost every day, well, every day and get a grande mocha frap with no whip cream. I tend not to venture out and try anything new. I did however try to get into the skinny latte, seeing how I have about 20 more pounds to loose, um it tasted like dirt.
When I pull up to order the barista (isn't that what they call them?!?!) just says my order to me and says pull around. She also usually asks how the babies were last night- I should be embarrassed by this, but I'm not. Starbucks- thank you for helping me make it until 6:30 every night, thank you for giving me five minutes of "me time", thank you for being so delicious.
