I can confirm that on a smooth surface, such as an airport concourse, and under the right circumstances, such as cutting a connecting flight really close, any stroller can be used as a jogging stroller, although toddler's enjoyment of the fun ride won't correspond with dad's panic at the thought of getting stuck in an airport with a soon-to-be 2 YO and a pregnant wife.

On a related note, booked tickets to go see the in-laws in AZ coming up soon! Looking forward to the trip, but part of me also thinks...sheesh, it's nice we don't have to spend $1300 every time we want to go see my parents.
my in-laws mentioned retiring to Colorado a few months ago. my wife was like "it'll be so much fun to go visit them every other month or more." I'm over here like, I hope you don't want to see your grandkids much

May as well just spend the extra couple hundred and make the jaunt to Hawaii.

Also, if you want to jog while pushing baby don't expect to be able to run like you normally do. It is hard work. Bonus exercise! I am not a fast or long-distance runner but I can only go about half as far actually jogging when pushing kids. But then when yo run without pushing an extra 80lbs you feel super speedy!

Whoa, hey...I know you like baking sweets, but that 2 YO needs to lay off, there.

Are the three wheeled ones better for that? Seems like anyone I see running while pushing a stroller, it's one of the three wheeled strollers.

Pretty sure you should opt for the one with beach tires.

Okay, maybe 80 is a bit much. ;) But that was adding the 2yr old, the 3yr old (who is tall/big for her age) and this double stroller that weighs more than a small child.

Is it possible to fall in love with someone only having heard their voice?

Not owning a tv, I watch Netflix and YouTube. I tend to just start clicking on things on YouTube whether I may be interested in it or not, and usually give it a few minutes to pull me in.

So I happened upon this chick that does the thing DH does. You know, playing a game and recording it for YouTube to watch? The chicks videos aren't very good and she doesn't seem the most intelligent based on all the words she mispronounces, but she's absolutely adorable, despite me not knowing what she looks like.

Her name is LifeSimmer. It was one of her Sims 4 videos, but she's got like a million. I'm sure you can get an idea from watching any of them.

Note: I said she sounds adorable, not smoking hot.
