Sundance Catalog: 101 Things To Do Before Your Kids Leave Home

First to recommend

Description

This book is particularly on point for mothers of tweens and teens, who are now struggling mightily to define themselves separate and apart from all things Mom. But, I recommend it for any mother figure, even those whose children have already left the nest. It is full of playful ideas: a maternally-focused "carpe diem."

Big Clipboard

2 people recommended this item

Description

For all of our attempts to stay paper-free, we still live in a world full of jotted reminders and teacher's notes and random clippings. Keep it all together - in a place that will always catch your eye - with a smart and sassy clipboard. A nifty gift (almost as good as an extra pair of hands) for anyone who juggles more than just one schedule at a time. That's you, Mom !
