Hi,

Thanks for the gift book recommendations for Moms!

I have one I'd like to share with you, too. It was given to my sister who is a Mom (I'm not) and we have had many hours of enjoyment from it with her children, ages 4, 8 and 10. It's "Together: Creating Family Traditions" by Davis and Oakes.

It is a perfect gift for the holidays or any occasion because it focuses on kid-friendly recipes, activities and crafts that bring parents, grandparents, aunts and/or uncles together with the younger generation -- leading to the creation of family traditions. It's definitely happened in our family!

It's a great gift for anyone who has a family --or is planning one.

Happy holidays,
Linda
