Great Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for NKW Little League Moms
Singular moments as a child can stay with you a lifetime and can help shape who you are as an adult. One such incident helped me realize just how important Mother’s Day was to my mother. She was a hard working mother, worked full time as a nurse during the day, and then took care of myself, my older brother, and younger sister as her other full time job. And went to every baseball game, traveled throughout New England for my soccer tournaments, my brother and sister’s swim meets, drove us to practice, to birthday parties, and the list goes on and on. Mother’s Day meant something to her. It meant her children, who could not offer much in terms of monetary items, would pay her the respect and admiration and appreciation she deserved on that one special day on the calendar set aside to honor Moms. And, one year, we failed her. Not a card, not a flower picked, nothing. And she let us know, in no uncertain terms, that this would not be an acceptable behavior going forward. She didn’t have to say much, other than we forgot her. We felt awful, I mean we felt really awful for weeks. I vowed at that moment in my childhood to never, ever, ever, ever forget Mother’s Day again. And, since then I have written my mother poems, given her cards, flowers, special mementos, etc because I do respect her and admire her and appreciate her.
Fathers, coaches, ball players – take my advice and mark your calendars every year (this year it is May 13th) for Mother’s Day. A card, some flowers, a lunch date – it is the thought that counts and the fact that you are recognizing a special person in your family. An outstanding person who sacrifices long afternoons at Wilson Park to cheer you on. Who rushes to Dave’s to get pizza so you can have something after practice. Who travels to South Kingstown and Westerly and Warwick and Tiverton for district games. Let’s get the Moms of North Kingstown Wickford Little League some awesome gifts of appreciation this year. And, with the help of the Merchants of Wickford Village, here are some gift ideas for you, just in time for Mother’s Day:

The RIBBE is The Rhode Island Baseball Experience. It is promoting the game of baseball here in the great state of Rhode Island for the entire baseball world to see. The RIBBE is positive stories, photos, videos, and responsible social media posts. The RIBBE is an information resource for families looking for an AAU team or a summer camp or a great place to buy a first baseman’s mitt. The RIBBE is a network of coaches, tournament directors, parents, leagues, and baseball junkies whose passion of the game of baseball is unquestioned. I believe that providing expert analysis, information and directions to ballfields, and coaching advice from some of the top RI baseball minds will help promote the game of baseball here in RI to a whole new level.
