Q. The idea is that you get the gift that is listed on the ornament for a child that is in need of a gift from a shelter. The ornament I picked has several gift ideas listed. My question is, Will the gift I gift be the only gift this child receives on Christmas or do they out these ornaments out at several different places? I do plan on gets just about everything listed as gift ideas, but I was just curious. The people at the Ymca didn't know the answer to my question and they didn't know how many gifts to get from each ornament.
A. In my area, the Giving Trees are operated through the local Community Action Agency. They take the names and wishes of those in need, and then distribute these names throughout the area. The child's name will go on one tree only, so that more children can be served and no one is left out.
The gifts you purchase will be the only gifts this child will receive though an *agency* yet they may not be the only gifts this child receives. Family and friends may be able to purchase a few small items... or maybe not. In these uncertain economic times when necessities are hard to come by, gifts are not always something one receives.
I just want to take a moment to thank you for your generosity. All too often I open this page to "What should I ask for this Christmas?' rather than, "What Can I Give?" Your's is a compassionate heart. I remember the years when I struggled mightily as a disabled single mom to put together a nice Christmas for my kids when dad wouldn't help and the support check didn't come... Thank you for helping a less fortunate child this Christmas. I pray that you are richly blessed. Merry Christmas... and a Happy Thanksgiving to you.

What is a the best bottle for breastmilk?
Q. I have a friend who will be breastfeeding her newborn and she got everything she needed at her shower but no bottles or storage bags or breastfeeding supplies. So i thought i would get her some of that sort of stuff. Since she goes to school she won't be able to strictly breastfeed without a bottle.Any recomendations on what one to get or any other gift ideas
A. I am preggers and due in a few months so I have done a lot of research.
1) it's great to ensure the bottles or the storage bags or "bottle liners" are BPA- free (and also phthalate-free if you can find that also); That is easy since almost all plastic bottles nowadays (or liners for those which use liners instead) are bpa-free
2) I think that whatever system (AVENT, PLAYTEX, BORNFREE, etc) she gets, remember that is the one that she will have to continue with as far as bottles because each "bottle system" has it's own nipples. Being that it's breast-fed newborn, whatever nipples it's used to, more than likely it will take to it. Different nipples confuse the "Formula-fed" babies, from what I have heard.
3) whatever system "intro. pack" you choose to buy (or more than 1 if you go with Dr. Browns and say Playtex) make sure the mom-to-be can afford to keep up with the prices of the bottles in that line. It is a thoughtful friend who does this!
I found 1 set that I love...it's made for the breast-fed baby to transtion to bottle-feeding because the nipple is designed to feel like and suction like a real breast. It is The Adiri Natural Nurser Ultimate Baby Bottle, and it won the iParenting Media Awards as one of the Greatest Products of 2008

Ideas on a nice way to recognize my mother during my wedding?
Q. My dad is walking me down the isle and that is his moment but what about my mom? My mom and dad are divorced and I want to recognize my mom during the wedding too. The catch is my dad is remarried and even though I don't feel the need to recognize my step mom I don't want to hurt her by not singling her out too. I want everybody to know how much she means to me but my step mom take EVERYTHING personally. I am trying to keep the peace.
A. If your step mom takes everything personally then it doesn't sound like you are going to please her one way or another - that shouldn't stop you from honoring your mother.
Here is what you could do. You could have your father walk you down the aisle, then when the pastor/officiant says, "Who gives this woman?" have your mother stand up and say, "I do." This way she plays a part in giving you away.
You could always dedicate a special dance to her. When my cousin got married she actually had a mother/daughter dance since her parents were also divorced. It was really sweet and a nice moment for both of them.
I think that's sweet you want to honor your mother on that day.
I had my mother walk me down the aisle, but the night before the wedding I also pulled her aside after everyone had gone home. I gave her a special gift that she really loved. Maybe you could try setting aside some time with your mother the day before or the day of the wedding to say a few nice words. I'm sure you saying something to hear will make her feel honored...

What is a good gift idea for a baby shower?
Q. My friend is having a girl and I want to find a creative gift, not just baby clothes or blankets.
A. I read this in a baby magazine, and I thought it was the perfect idea.
If you think about it, everyone will probably be getting something for the baby, but I think it would be awesome to get the soon-to-be mom a gift.
Something that will benefit her while she is pregnant, whether its a sleep pillow to help ease her strain when she is farther along, whether its an at home spa treatment type of gift, (her favorite body wash, loofa, candle, lotion, etc for those difficult days of pregnancy)
I just thought it was a great idea. The expecting mother will apreciate it father down the line. :)
Plus, with my baby shower, I had so many things for the baby, I didnt have much space to store everything! we had so so so so so many blankets, I have a whole stack my daughter hasnt even used, and shes 10 months old.
