Aunt Bonnie and Mimi Week

This past week, my mom and Bonnie came to stay. Bonnie and I had so much fun doing lots of shopping while Mimi stayed home with Grayson. We were also able to get some sewing done. I helped her slipcover her cushions for her glider and we made some sweet onesies for our little girls to wear to the beach in September!

The most exciting part of our time together (I think we would both agree) was that we ordered a stroller!! Since this is her first child, she's trying to find a stroller that will be useful for 2 kiddos in the future. (Yes, she's just as practical as me!) And as for me, we never really got a nice single stroller because I knew I would eventually want to get a nice double stroller. So the best solution that I have found is this Baby Jogger City Select. Yep, it comes with a whopping price tag!! But... we were able to find it on Amazon for $280, which is only the price of the single. I still have to order the attachments for the second seat and the car seat adaptor. And for me, that's still alot of money for a stroller. However, this stroller is absolutely amazing!!

The seats come in and out easily and it can be used as a single or a double--a lifetime stroller!!! Now, this is where my Swagbucks have been a HUGE help: If you are not yet signed up for Swagbucks, you should do it now!! Check out the link on the side of my blog. So far, I have had enough Swagbucks to get $75 of Amazon credit to use towards my stroller!!! And I'm earning more everyday--so I plan on earning more to help me buy my other attachments!! I'm also selling my other 2 strollers that I had with Grayson (that I won't need anymore--yay!!). So all of that money will also go towards the new stroller. One stroller that will meet all of my stroller needs!! I'm so excited!! And that means I won't have 3 strollers to store around my house!! So, in the meantime, we're both awaiting the arrival of our strollers and I can't wait to get outside with it and try it out!
I'll leave you with some pics from the week:

I love the matching onesies! so cute. And that stroller looks amazing, you will have to tell what you think of it when you put it to use. I can't wait to see graysons new room and baby girls room. Any names picked out yet?
