Doesn't everyone have that person in their life who always tells you what a great deal they got on stuff.  They're like "hey this shirt was on sale, so I bought eight of them, isn't that a great deal" and you're like "why the heck do you need eight of the same ugly shirt, what a waste of money".  In my life, that person is my mother in law, so I really have to keep my mouth shut. She likes to leave the price tag on gifts she bought you so that you'll see how much it was worth, and then tell you how much she actually paid.  That is how she gets true enjoyment out of gift giving. 

Does anyone else hate the use of the word "gifting".  It really bothers me for some reason.  Can't we just give gifts, do we have to gift things?

I have a son who is 8 months old.  He recently had a check up with the doctor who told us that he is in the 99 to 100th percentile for weight and also for head size.  Dr. W joked that when he starts to walk, he might need to wear a helmet because whenever he falls, his head is going to hit first.  Well I hate to tell you, but he does bonk his head quite a bit.  Do you know anywhere I can by a baby helmet that won't make us look like a crazy family?  I should mention that my son is also in the 100th percentile for cuteness.
