Upcoming birthday and Father's Day

Good Sunday morning to everyone!  My mom's birthday is coming up this week and I've only gotten her 2 things and I want to really spoil her this year.  Anyhow, my brother and I went in together on a used Wii Resort sports game. I also got her this Scandanavian cookbook at the thrift store last week for $1.39 (we're part Finnish).


As you probably know, Father's Day is coming up and the city I call home is the city that started it all 100 years ago.  My dad owns and operates his own 1-man trucking company and he listens to the radio/CDs/audio CDs/etc all.the.time.  I got him 12 audio CDs at the thrift store for $.69/each.  They are The Bible on CD and I hope he really enjoys them.  After he's done listening to them, I may ask to put them on my iPod :)
*And if you're wondering...yes my floor is that ugly*

What are you giving for Father's Day?  What do you like to get your mom on her birthday?

Mai Birfday


So, my birthday is coming up.  Yes, it's a national holiday and yes you better send me a card.  Okay, okay, maybe just an envelope with $5 in it.  Any takers?  :)

Well if you can't tell, I get a little giddy about my birthday.  The hubbs loves to spoil me on my birthday and last year he bought me a Mountain Buggy Urban Double (they evidently re-named them recently) which is in the top 3 of best birthday gifts!  I freaking love this stroller and we found it across the state on Craigslist (used of course) for $225.  It's bright orange (which I've found is awesome for when go to a crowded place or just taking a walk down the street, nobody misses us).  Over the last year we bought the sun/bug shade and rain cover and use them a lot.  It fits through a standard doorway, the front wheels swivel, and it turns with the push of 1 finger.  I'm not into buying expensive baby gear, but this was well worth every penny.  It should last my daughter until she's 4, I'm guessing.

So why am I babbling about my stroller still?  It's because I still love it and if you're in the market for a used one, I suggest you research them.
