My girlfriends are planning a scrapbook party thing today, although I think we are going to make a card instead of a scrapbook page this time!? It is called "Close to my Heart" and apparently according to them there are lots of things that I will be interested in! I like scrap booking but I usually get all my stuff from "Creative Memories". I went to one of their shows and was sold on their product right away and granted I do think that a lot of there stuff is over priced it is still guaranteed not to ruin your photos. I don't want to do all that work just to dig out my scrapbook 10 years from now and find out all my photos have faded and fallen out of the book! So I guess I will see what this new place has to offer, I looked on their website but I don't think websites do justice for this kind of stuff, you actually have to see the product and how it works! I think the party starts at 7pm so I will just head straight out to St.Albert after work, stop for a bite to eat and if I have time I really need a hair cut! Hubby has plans tonight anyway so I would have been sitting at home alone and bored anyway, so I'm very excited to get out of the house on a Friday night!! :)Saturday I need to go to Wal-mart, a place that I rarely stop at - not because I don't like shopping there, it's the parking and the crowds that turn me off from shopping there. So I have a list of things I need plus I need to get my niece a gift for her 1st birthday, probably a gift card unless I see something really cute! I am also thinking about doing some price shopping for myself, I want to start looking for a stroller and I found one in the Sears flyer that I like but there was no price on it, it just said it was on sale!? I think I'm kinda picky when it comes to the stroller, I want something that has big wheels (but not too big that they get in the way at stores) one that will go over bumps when I take the baby for walks, and I want one that has the carrier with it for a reasonable price of course!?
This brown one was the one 'on sale' in the Sears catalog, it looks nice, the wheels aren't quite as big as a "jogger" stroller but still bigger then a regular stroller. On the website this stroller was priced at $390. This blue one was also on the website and is very similar to the brown one (at least I can't tell the difference) but it is only $280 ? Then I also saw this black one with four big tires instead of three which might be better and have less of a 'tipping' factor but was way more money, $480 for this one! 
So maybe some of you that have already purchased your strollers could give me a little advice on what to look for when deciding what stroller to get. Maybe mention things you like or disliked about the one you bought? Do you think the four wheeler is better then the three? Is it worth it to spend more money now or is it still going to wear out in the same amount of time? What is the expectant life span of a stroller? So many things to consider and look at!? I just don't have any idea! :)

well you pretty much know all this but I'll remind you. I've bought a total of 3 strollers now. A cheaper 4 wheeler with the click in car seat ( do get a click in set up it rocks! ) We cheaped out and got one that was only $150 for both, don't do it, spend the money now and get a good one that will last. Because our 4 wheeler started to fall apart and I found it to bumpy to get up to any speed while walking we got a cheap jogger, it felt like it was going to tip over as Evan got bigger. So now while we where in Cal we got a better jogger with a toy included for $160 American! It rocks!
So here's my over all advice:
Make the investment for a good click in jogging stroller set up if you can. See what you like in the stores and order on line from the states, it's actully way cheaper. My sis could probly send it as a gift or something.
See you tonight!
Go for 3 wheels, they are much better -one that will recline for an infant, then adjust for a larger baby. I have had 8 babies, and about 6 ! stollers... I ended up learning the hard way that it's best to buy the most expensive one... that way you get THE BEST.. cos your baby is worth the best... and you want the darn thing to last, be comfortable for bub, be safe, be convertible, able to take 2 babies eventually, room for baby bags, handbags, shopping, rain cover, sun cover, bla bla bla. The more it has the better!!!!
