Mom’s Mini-Home Gym and the iPod Response

The responses to the questions I posed in my “On Mother’s Day, Crafts, Old Habits, Health, and Family” post are in! I wondered:

1) would my mom like an iPod Shuffle?
2) and if so, what color?

It turns out she is really looking forward to getting it and she likes the lavender one. She is softy for pastels.

Along with her response, she sent me a picture of her new mini-gym. She got a stationary bicycle and a mini-trampoline at a garage sale for $40 total. What a deal! They look pretty nice too. Nice work mom!

So, the shuffle has been ordered but its going to take a little while to get to mom. Sigh. Well, something to look forward to.

I am thinking about Mother’s Day and what to do for my mom and my mormor (mormor is Swedish for mother’s mother). I always do something for the both of them on Mother’s Day (most year I just make a homemade card for them. I know they prefer that and that they don’t want us kids to make a big fuss over them). There are a couple of books I want to get for them and luckily they would both be interested in these books pretty much as they have to do with knitting, crocheting, and craft home business. My mom has a nice demand for the beautiful things she makes like hats, scarves, purses, baby clothing and more. She is in the beginning stages of re-creating an image and a website for her business CozyHats as well as finding the boutiques in which she wants to sell her creations. I get lots of compliments when I wear her hats. I love to tell people that my mom made it for me… I am such a proud daughter!

This Mother’s Day I want to sweeten the deal for my mom because she has done an exceptional thing this year: SHE QUIT SMOKING! I am so happy and so proud of her! I know it has been a challenge for her but I always knew she was up for that challenge. She is a strong and powerful woman. The thing that really sealed the deal in her decision to quit smoking for good this time is that she has her first grandchild on the way! (That’s the little guy inside of me.) She is one proud grandma and she hasn’t even met the little fellah yet! It warms my heart and gives me much happiness at the way our whole family has responded with love and joy at this pregnancy.

So, the Mother’s Day deal sweetener I spoke of is an iPod Shuffle (with a inscription engraved on the back) that she can use on the stationary bike she got recently to help her manage her weight (and her health in general) as well as to use on her long walks that she has taken to doing. I wonder if she will like such a thing. I just sent her an email with a link to the iPod Shuffle page and asked her to pick a color. Let’s see what her response will be…

What are you doing for your mother this year?
