What would be a great gift for my cheerleading coaches?

Q. I have three AMAZING coaches. I need some gift ideas that can be personalized for each them. It needs to show how much my team truly appreciates everything they do for us, everything they have sacrificed for us, and how much they support us. Please and thank you! =)

A. Make them each a scrapbook. I did this for my coach once and they loved it. Have all the girls get together and put money in towards a scrapbook and the materials and put it together. There must be girls with moms who take bunches of pics at competitions, games, and practices. If not and you dont have enough pictures, get a team photo and put it in a nice frame for each of them. Have all the girls sign and then they'll always remember you guys. Good luck and I hope they like the gift... Whatever you get them.


What is the coolest mothers day gift you have ever recieved?
Q. Trying to find a neat and different idea for Mom this year. She is retired, has everything she ever wanted, and no real hobbies except gardening, and I live several states away, so plants or trees are kinda out of the question.

A. Having never received one as you can readily tell, I can only share stuff I thought my mom liked.

Stuff I got for her that I thought she would like often ended up stored away for posterity somewhere. The stuff that I saw she put in places she could see anytime were things where I put some "heart" into it.

Some examples are: souveniers I got for her while on trips abroad where she could see I was thinking about her even while I was busy with many other things. A small trophy for "world's best mom." A framed poem about how much I appreciated the things she taught me, and another one about the hard times in her life when she sacrificed so I could have, and another about "now I understand what she was trying to explain." And other things that let her know how much I appreciated and loved and thought about her a lot.

Maybe consider sending her your answer to the "hereafter" question with things about her too? Anyway, just my opinions.


What are some ideas for home made Christmas gifts?
Q. I dont have that much money so I would like to make most of the gifts this year.

I have a 10 year old sister who loves animals

And my mom likes everything, I mean really I cant think of anything she doesnt like lol.

A. Christmas themed clay pots you can make yourself.


What were your favorite gifts at your baby shower?
Q. I am going to one of my best friend's baby shower, and I really want to get her something that is really practical and helpful. I have already bought a cute little outfit, but I would love some ideas from moms and what their favorite gifts were! Thanks!
p.s. it's a boy!

A. My rocking chair came from my Mom, I got pack and play, crib, and changing table, and automatic breast pump (with my own attachments of course) from hand-me-downs from other relatives. I love the changing table. That certainly gets the most use out of everything, followed by the rocking chair.

HANGERS (child size) someone bought me, I don't remember who, but whoever did was a genius! I had so many clothes that weren't her size yet and none of the had store hangers yet. Soo helpful for organization. (like a dollar for 10 at walmart)

You could make her something in a picture frame for the wall, like a collage or sew a cute saying, we got something like this from DH's aunt.

Free babysitting "coupons" so she can go out for a night

Camera if she doesn't already have one (we didn't)

Little baskets to put stuff in, kinda like this:

We use ours to put stuff like lotions and soaps in one, toys in another, stuffed animals, you get the picture..

Will she breastfeed? Boob pads are awesome! I use a lot of these. Lansinoh ones are the best ones I've found.

I also use a lot of breastmilk storage bags. These ones are great, especially with the double zipper, also Lansinoh:

Blankets you can never have enough blankets. The flannel swaddling ones, and the big fuzzy soft ones. If you get the fuzzy ones, make sure you pull on it before you buy it to make sure all the fuzzies don't come off because otherwise the baby gets fuzzies in all the little chub rolls.

Laundry basket. We got one of these and good thing too, cuz we use the ones we already had for our clothes - we sort them when we take em off.

I used a wipe warmer for the first month, after that I quit using it, was just too much of a pain when the wipes fell back in and had to open the whole top up to grab the next wipe.

Speaking of wipes, Huggies wipes I love because they're thicker and hold more poo. Pampers wipes are made of cotton so they're softer but strechier and sometimes I get a finger full when I use those.

Q-tips are great too, we use a lot of those. Nose suckers don't work for our daughter, so I CAREFULLY clean out the boogers with q-tips. Good for ear wax too.

We use these most often... Hope you find something great to give her!
