As an expectant belly grows, so does the chance of getting indigestion. Pregnant ladies wary of chemicals may not want to take over-the-counter remedies like Maalox and Tums when they feel the burn so they opt for peppermint tea. Peppermint is well known for its tummy-healing powers, and most peppermint tea is caffeine free so mamas don't need to worry about it affecting their developing fetuses. Peppermint teas like Twinings ($3) barely nab the budget and are far more enjoyable than a few chalky tablets.

Life is busy, so make it sweet. Moms on tight schedules may not have time to bake cookies from scratch after a long day at the office or park, but their children can still benefit from kitchen time together and indulge in a treat. A few weeks ago, I bought a bag of Chocolate Chunk Better Bakes ($4) at Whole Foods. The container of organic pre-portioned cookie dough from Immaculate Baking Company shortened the timely task of batter-making. My daughter just popped a few circles onto a baking sheet, and I put it in a 325 degree oven for 14 minutes. Once the cookies cooled, she had fun making them into lil sandwiches by spreading ice cream or peanut butter between two and fusing them together. To fancy up the edges, she then rolled them in chocolate sprinkles or crushed peanuts. Since the dough bits are quarter-size, they make great mini desserts.
