This is a guest post by Nicole from Red Lotus Mama. She’s a mom (to one of the cutest little girls ever) and a great writer and friend. Please be sure to check out her blog (the link above) when you’re done reading here, you won’t want to miss out!
Growing up I think we have all said at one point in time “I am not going to turn out like my mother.” But, we discover we are just like our moms’ once we become mothers ourselves. I have caught myself saying things that my mother would say to me like “Don’t grow up so fast” or “Leave a little something on your plate for the angels” or “Don’t make me come over there.” These sayings are passed down like a family heirloom you are destined to receive even if you don’t want it.
We have all been to baby showers where you play stupid silly games and sign a guest book letting the guest(s) of honor know you were there. So why not combine these ideas to make a keepsake the mommy-to-be will be proud to display. Have the shower guests sign their favorite “mom” saying on a wide photo matting. Then present the picture frame with the matting and an enlarged photo of the ultra sound or empty so the mommy-to-be can put her own picture in it. Everyone needs a great frame, but now she has quick access to a perfect mom quote when needed!

We did something similar when my cousin got married. Of course no mom sayings, but well wishes on a matte frame. She still has it hanging in her house.
