Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed. - G. K. Chesterton
This week I'll be buying a miter saw for MH for our anniversary, and a supermarket gift card for my mom's birthday and probably taking her out for a casual dinner.
I would really like to buy the Lo & Sons OMG bag before my work trip in four weeks, but I don't think I have the budget for it (plus their Easter sale is over so I assume the next sale will be Mother's Day). I'd like to buy it before our hypothetical summer trip.

We finally had a reasonably inexpensive weekend compared to the past month.
Landscape/yard stuff - dang borers are on our biggest tree again! And, a replacement shrub for one that died 3 years ago and finally tired of looking at the blank spot
Dinner with friends before a comedy show
Gift card for a wedding this weekend.
I think we are doing a spending freeze for April! It is so needed, but I'm scared!
Ceiling mounted curtain rods/tracks, art, and bedside lamps. After two years in our house, I'm finally ready to spend money decorating the master bedroom! I'll also be getting drapes, and moving a leather armchair and ottoman that we already own into the bedroom. It's time to make it relaxing in there!
I like the lamp! Where did you get it and is the base real, solid glass? Are they heavy? I've been looking for lamps that can withstand my three boys (who I say are the reason we can't have nice things). I'm not finding a lot of non-breakable options, but these look like they would not tip over easily.
ellipses84 These are definitely heavy lamps. They're solid crystal. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit this, but I got them from RH Teen. RH Teen had them for $169, while a few other places had nearly identical styles for around $300. That means they're not just lamps for teens, right?
The only concern I would have about tipping is that they're really tall, which makes tipping slightly easier because of the center of gravity.
We had some startup needs for daycare: additional plastic bottles (because she can't take our glass bottles to daycare), extra crib sheets, extra swaddles, extra paci's, name labels for everything. I needed another nursing bra, and more breastmilk freezer bags.
I've started pricing plane tickets to San Francisco for September for vacation, that will be more fun to report when I've purchased Currently <$300 pp if we drive to EWR or BOS, which I think is pretty great.
