The Teutonia line of strollers introduces a whole new way for your baby to ride. Or is it a whole new way for you to shop for strollers? A little bit of both, really.
Unlike most stroller systems where you have to just take what you’re given, the Teutonia line is completely customizable. From the color of the seat to the style of the wheels — and everything in between — choices are both plentiful and practical. Let’s say you’re shopping for a toddler… well, you don’t need a bassinet so why pay for one? So skip it. Like girly colors, but might have a boy in the future? Get a neutral seat color and embellish it with a flowery cushion. You even have three chassis choices so you can select one that will be most appropriate for your lifestyle.
All of the Teutonia chassis options allow for the seat to be positioned either forward facing or reverse. (I love this feature!) And the same seat will work on any chassis, so if you’re like some moms I know, you might buy more than one chassis and keep one in the car. You can buy everything all at once, or add to your system as baby grows. The folks at Teutonia really have thought of everything.

Tennis star Lindsay Davenport‘s world has just expanded by one! She and husband Jonathan Leach welcomed daughter Lauren Andrus Davenport Leach on Saturday, June 27th at 11:04 a.m. in Newport Beach, Calif. Lindsay’s agent reported that “Lindsay and Lauren are doing great, and Jonny and the other man of the family, Jagger, Lauren’s brother, are ecstatic.”
After announcing her pregnancy in December, the three-time Grand Slam champion later revealed that she was expecting a girl and was hoping her daughter would be a tomboy, “because otherwise I don’t know how I’m going to cope,” since she herself does not wear makeup or style her hair.
Lauren joins big brother Jagger Jonathan, 2. Lindsay, 33, and Jonathan were married in 2003.

Are you trying to get pregnant? FDA-cleared and patented OV-Watch® finds the 4 days before ovulation, which are the most fertile days of the cycle. OV-Watch uniquely detects the Chloride-ion surge, which is an earlier predictor of a woman’s fertility than urine-LH or basal body temp. The advanced notice that OV-Watch provides makes all the difference when you are trying to get pregnant. Those 4 crucial days that only OV-Watch can provide hold an over 80% increased chance of pregnancy for each cycle. Additionally, OV-Watch can be used with Clomid and for patients with irregular length cycles. It takes readings from your skin as you sleep at night and looks for a particular pattern in the data to indicate ovulation with 4 days advanced notice. There are no messy, expensive urine strips to deal with and no complicated charts to keep. All you have to do is wear the watch at night while you sleep. The Bachelorette Trista Sutter credits OV-Watch with getting pregnant with her son Max and says, “Thankfully because of OV-Watch, I knew when I was going to ovulate.”

For Gildart Jackson and Melora Hardin, making You was truly a family affair. The couple — married since 1997 — not only feature their two children Rory Melora Jackson, 7 ½, and Piper Quincy Jackson, 4, in the film, they even cast their nanny! Although Rory and Piper got “a different taste of family life” during the 18-day shoot, the experience was “an adventure” in ever sense, Gildart blogs for The Huffington Post. “Making a film is a wonderful, rigorous, all consuming, intense, frenetic, thrilling voyage and as I look back what made our trip even more wonderful was that we were sailing together as a family,” he writes, and now Rory and Piper “know that they can set sail, weather the storm, reach their destination and return home.”
“Individually, and as a family. I am proud of this gift. As I am proud of the movie. And now, of course, our kids will always have You — our movie — to watch, to show their friends as they grow up, to remember what it was like when our family set sail on the high seas.”
The life of an actor provides great flexibility for a growing family, Gildart notes, and the couple are thankful that Melora’s role on The Office has been well-received. “I don’t work as much as she does, but from the family perspective this is a great thing,” he explains. “I get to spend a lot of time with the kids. And, actually, so does Melora even when she’s working; she has a trailer and regularly brings the kids to the set.” The pay isn’t too shabby, either! The couple consider themselves “fortunate enough to be able to afford a nanny when we both need to be doing other things,” Gildart writes, adding,
“I think our lives as actors dovetail very well with our lives as parents.”
You is an independent film written by Gildart and directed by (and starring!) Melora; It is available for purchase via iTunes, Amazon.com or at the You official site.
