Mother's Day

Cards from Busy Bee
Mother's day is Sunday, May 13th and if you haven't thought about gifts, now is the time to get cracking. Families with little ones know that it's usually dads responsibility to wrangle the kids into creating unique and memorable gifts for mom on this special day. Because dad may need a little bit of help, here are some pointers to make sure mom is happy this Sunday. 
First, you may want to take the practical direction and make it something mom can really utilize. New kitchen gadgets or tools for the garden show mom that you care about her interests. This is a good thought for a mom that doesn't have a lot of room for decorative items or has an avid hobby.
The second route is a homemade gift from the kids. Moms go crazy over things like handprint hearts and BusyBeeKidsCrafts.com has a great list of crafts for the littlest ones that will melt mom's heart. Another great thing about this site is dad will definitely be able to figure out these simple crafts and help the kids. Framed pictures and mementos are always great for mom to look back on and smile.
Finally, mom could always use something relaxing and responsibility-free. A spa day or weekend getaway would win mom over for sure. This idea is good for a mom that is always on the go or a new mom that is just getting the hang of motherhood. Being a mom is hard work and every mom would appreciate a night away without baby related duties!                                                                  Of course Baby Fanatic products make great gifts for moms with really little ones. The gift set features a bottle, bib, and pacifier with the logo of your family's favorite team. A mom that is a true sports fan will fall in love with this merchandise. Baby Fanatic has every MLB and NFL logo as well as a number of college teams. Check out your local retailer to find the latest Baby Fanatic merchandise!
