When momtrolfreak and her friend, Penny, were about to become moms, they vowed to uphold an ideal similar to that with which they grew up ... well, listened to anyway, on vinyl when they were kids. The songs from the album "Free to Be You and Me." Those who had the record--remember the hot pink cover?--might remember some of the song lyrics. "It's alright to cry..." "William wants a Doll!
