"Every single person can make a difference in this election - and today we're asking supporters to start by taking one action that will help grow our campaign," First Lady Michelle Obama said today at the launch of "It Takes One," an initiative she will lead.

"It Takes One" will empower individuals to register voters through GottaVote.org and to discuss critical campaign issues with neighbors or door-to-door in a grassroots push to engage people in the push toward November's election.

This initiative is new, but engaging the power of just one person to change the political process has been a part of our country's history long before we were united under one name. Many unnamed people have set up tables and walked miles between houses and churches and community centers to register voters and educate the uninformed on discriminatory election laws, most of whom are not credited with published biographies or plaques to honor their contributions. As we look back at several women who

It's the height of summer and ice cream cravings are in full swing. While frozen yogurt and ice cream sales are active year round, summer sales spike: one of the best summer treats that helps beat the heat is an ice cold cone. Here at Bundle, we wanted to discover which places scream the most for ice cream.

To find out which American cities and states are ice cream-crazy - that is, which frequent their favorite ice cream stores most often - we examined all households which had a credit card transaction at ice cream and frozen yogurt vendors. We then examined the total number of transactions per city and ranked on a per capita basis.

If you're obsessed with ice cream, does your city or state follow in your sweet tooth footsteps? Find out below!

Topping our list for the most ice cream-crazy state in America is Washington, D.C., whose residents eat ice cream 85 percent more than the average American. The state is big on the dessert fad scene, ranging from cupcakes to

A note from the Editor: While Red Tricycle mama Allison Ellis can only dream of having it all (hey, we're all allowed to dream of George Clooney, right?), apparently some women can indeed have it all. Take Marissa Mayer, the former Google exec turned CEO of Yahoo, who not only hit headlines for her new role, but also for the fact that she's pregnant and due in October. Apparently, nothing is standing in Marissa's way from having a fulfilling career, family, and personal life. What's the secret, Marissa? Are you really super woman?

Ever since the Atlantic Monthly posted Anne-Marie Slaughter's July cover story, Why Women Still Can't Have it All, I've been racking my brain trying to come up with women (or anyone) I know that "has it all." Hmm . . . let's see: How about her? Well . . . almost, not quite. Those two? Nope. Totally faking it. What about . . . oh jeez, definitely no.

"Having it all" is an elusive concept, don't you think? A moving target. I mean, what does "it" even

Michaela DePrince (AP)As a toddler, Michaela DePrince, was ranked "number 27" -- the lowest, the worst of the children in her orphanage in Sierra Leone. "So, I got the least amount of food, the least amount of clothes and what not," she explained to the Associated Press. DePrince lost both of her parents in the West African nation's decades-long civil war which claimed the lives of an estimated 60,000 people. She was born with vitiligo, a skin disorder that causes uneven pigmentation, and was taunted by the other kids as "the devil's child." Fourteen years later, she is considered one of the most promising teenage ballet dancers in the United States. Recently graduated from the American Ballet Theatre's Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis School, the 17-year-old debuts professionally on July 20, as a guest artist of the South African Ballet Theater and the South Africa Msanzi Ballet performing in 'Le Corsaire.'

Marissa Mayer, Yahoo! CEO

She hardly needs my sympathy, but I feel sad for Marissa Mayer. It seems so unfair that the two most amazing things that may ever happen to her (having a baby and becoming CEO of Yahoo) have to occur simultaneously.

From where I stand, she has few alternatives, though. Since my children were born I was (briefly) a stay-at-home mom and now work part-time.

As I contemplate going back to work full-time, I think Mayer is in a for a world of heartache. There is no perfect option for women who are lucky enough to have these dilemmas.

As a stay-at-home mom, my brain began to atrophy. Now, as a part-timer, I feel like an uncoordinated juggler, never fully with my kids, never fully working.

If I go back to work full-time, I expect to be slammed with shedloads of self-imposed guilt, constantly lamenting not spending enough time with my kids, doing school pick-up everyday, or
