My birthday/mother's day is coming up and I think I want a "nice" camera in addition to the old point and shoot camera I have. I know zip about cameras but would love something that takes beautiful pictures like the ones I see on many of your FB

What should I be looking for that is nice but won't break the bank. I am not a professional by any means. Just a mom who wants great memories of the kid(s).
Re: s/o photography recc a nice camera
I also love my Canon Rebel, but if you're not looking to spend that much, there are some really nice P&S cameras out there for less...
ETA: I am not familiar with which ones are good, but hopefully you'll get some good recos
