50th Birthday Gifts for Mom!! Need advice!

My mom's 50th surprise party is this weekend. I'm been so preoccupied with keeping her from finding out, that I haven't had time to come up with a present! She's extremely difficult to buy for because she shops more than I do!!! Anything she wants, she buys or she has had for 20+ years and WILL NOT replace it. I've bought her some pretty random things over the years, but this one seems really important. I bought her this last year:
The year before she requested a robe. I also got her satin pajamas.
This year I am thinking of doing a mother/daughter spa day? What do you think, good idea? I am running out of ideas and have no idea what else to get her! She loves country music, john deere anything and that's about it.

As for me, we watched the Killers last night. I have decided I love Katherine Hygiel :) If she ever wants to be my big sister I will be forever grateful. Also I loved this white dress she wore on their first date in the movie.
4 out of 5 stars. It was super cute and great date night movie, but I'd definitely watch it again. I love how their friend in the movie had a dog named Sir-Barks-Alot, LOL.
I'm waiting for my school to release next semesters classes, but unforunately they are a couple days late. I register for winter classes in 2.5 weeks :/ I hope they release it soon...

I've been bit!

By the baking bug!!! I am looking forward to baking 2 birthday cakes this weekend. I also found a recipe for Raspberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake. I can not wait to use some of my baking skills! It will be the SIL birthday next week, so I will make her a birthday cake. She also asked me to go shopping because she needs "tall winter shoes". I have no idea what they are, but I'm sure we will find plenty while looking for them. I also have my mom's surprise 50th birthday and am going to make an attempt at this:


via google search
There are some super crafty people out there so I'm going to make an attempt at making something similar. My mom really likes John Deere (I grew up on a farm) so I'd like to tie that into the cake.
I am also itching to finish off my Halloween Decor. My garage and paint are calling my name. I'm planning on making some sort of soup in the crockpot. Wow, look at me, a real-life Martha Stewart type huh?
I have books to read, movies to watch and shopping to do. I hope work flies by today. I hope you all have a great weekend!
Here are the blog hops for today!
