Gift Ideas for Mom

Sometimes, finding gifts for mothers can be hard. There are lots of different gift ideas for mom out there to choose from including spa packages, home-cooked meals, and a cleaned house. But as a new parent, I’ve found that one of the best gifts I ever received was a book full of parenting tips. Having a baby around takes up a lot of your time, money, and to be honest, your sanity. But with some really handy parenting tips, you can get through all those difficulties and enjoy having a baby around more. Mama’s Big Book of Little Lifesavers by Kerry Colburn is definitely one of the best gifts for moms (and even dads) out there.

Why is it a great gift for mom?

While there are plenty of parenting books that you can buy, this book is really a great gift for any parent because all the tips for saving time, money, and sanity are here in one book. And they don’t come from just one person. The author not only presents her parenting tips but also those from other veteran parents that have survived the challenging times of raising kids. Their hard-won techniques all incorporated in one book makes it one of the best parenting books ever.

While advice for parents is normally thrown at you from every direction, it is generally about feeding, potty training, and discipline. But with Mama’s book, you also get some parenting tips that just help smoothen out your day. Things like saving time going to the bedroom for a nappy change or using baskets to transport things like blankets, diapers, and toys up and down 2 floors are stuff you rarely get from other parenting books. And following these tips have definitely helped me save some time and sanity. As a new parent, I was sometimes faced with the questions ‘which one should I do first?’ and ‘how in the *** am I going to carry all those plus the baby up the stairs?’ Kerry’s parenting tips were definitely lifesavers for me, keeping me sane day after day.

One of the best things I found about this book was that it was really easy to read. It’s basically just a list of what to do and how to do to it. There are no long paragraphs that I really did not have time to read with my hectic schedule. The tips are arranged according to time, money, and sanity as well as a quick help guide if you don’t have time to browse through the tips, looking for the ones you need.

This great book is full of advice for parents old and new, something any mom would surely appreciate and love.
