Strollers

I spent today looking at strollers for my Granddaughter Alice. I need one here since Alice will be here all day with Nonnie & Poppy. I will eventually put her down… I will eventually take her out of the snuggli. (I think I will anyway!)

It’s been a LONG time since I shopped for a stroller! My kids (34 years ago) had those flimsy umbrella strollers that you could close up one-handed mid-air like Luke Skywalker snapping his lightsaber open!

They weighed nothing…. and didn’t support your baby very well either. Looking back, my kids didn’t look very comfortable!! (Bad parent moment!!)

Let’s not dwell on that…. guilt is only good when I’m doing it after all!

Criteria I have in mind (that I didn’t even know I had before I started shopping!)

First it can’t break the bank! I have 3 grandbabies afterall…

I’m really liking the strollers that have a place for a water bottle and a compartment for keys and change.

I like the all-terrain strollers with the larger tires so we can go on the dirt roads and the walking path around the lake.
A canopy that moves.

I don’t want to be the one to let Alice go home with a sunburn! Noooooooooo! That would be a BAD Nonnie!

This stroller has to work for an infant! Alice is only a month old!

So here are 3 strollers I’ve been looking at:

Jeep Stroller Strollin'
The Jeep Overland (JEEP makes a STROLLER?!) This stroller even has a plug-in for your iPod! AND a pedometer!
This one even adjusts to different heights (you know.. so Poppy can take Alice for a walk too)
Strollin'
2nd stroller is the Jeep Liberty Sport X All-Terrain. This one has a place for Alice’s bottle or cup but nowhere in the write-up does it say there is a place for an adult’s water bottle. I like the big wheels. I love the little steering wheel for Alice. (Although it doesn’t say if the steering wheel is removable when she is bored with it) Also, nowhere does it say if the canopy moves.

Last one is the GoGo Babyz. This one has a kickstand so the stroller doesn’t get accidentally tipped over. (You haven’t met Gracie… it could happen… unless this is Selena or Dan reading this… then IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!)

Mostly all these strollers are starting to look alike. So moms out there…… do you have a jogging stroller you love?? What other MUST-HAVES should I be on the lookout for??

I’m Refreshing My Blog (and Exorcising Some Digital Ghosts)

Updating old blog content is like digital archaeology—except I’ve unearthed a full-on resident spirit: The Ghost of Peanut Butter and Whine.

This digital poltergeist has been causing absolute chaos behind the scenes. If things look a little haunted around here, here is the proof:

  • The Vanishing Act: The ghost keeps deleting my best images and video tutorials, leaving behind sad, empty boxes.
  • The Link Graveyard: It’s been sneakily stripping away my trusted brand partners and replacing them with sketchy “AI Crypto” links.
  • Font Sabotage: Apparently trapped in 2001, it keeps reverting my clean layout back to “Geocities-era” antique fonts.

My 2026 Blog Refresh Plan

To banish these spirits and keep my traffic climbing, I’m launching a step-by-step exorcism plan:

  1. Exorcise the 404s: Running a broken link checker to track down every dead end and missing image.
  2. Modernize Recommendations: Swapping out outdated products for my absolute 2026 essentials.
  3. SEO Deep Clean: Refreshing metadata and strategically placing focus keywords.
Woman in pink gloves sprays a dusty old computer labeled 'MY BLOG: EST. 2010' with a feather duster nearby; cobwebs and clutter surround the desk.

Stick Around Please!

Don’t let this be a “one and done” visit. While I’m cleaning house and banishing spirits, check out these (very much alive) links:

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner: Check out the sidebar for my current giveaway. I promise this one is fully alive, kicking, and ghost-free!

Earn Cash: Some things never go out of style. Rakuten still pays you to shop, and in this economy, who is turning down free money?

Hey, while you are here you could shop through my link on Amazon, or Walmart.

    Hey Connie, we have seen the Jeep line of strollers, they are really cool, the canopy does move a little, but they are attached to the seat back, the one I saw also has a from wind type of canopy, the steering wheel doesn’t come off or at least it didn’t look like it. also check Amazon they seem to have the best prices. cool blog too 😉
