Mom to B Fragrances

Feeling tired? Hormones begging for relief? Need a spirit boost? While pregnancy is an amazing, mind-blowing and magical experience, it’s also riddled with not-so-great mood swings, bodily stress and much fatigue. While we could all use a little luxury from time to time, our preggie friends may need just a little more right now. And that’s why the Mom to B fragrance line is a must-have for you or a dear friend. A great baby shower gift sure to make the mama-to-be feel special, this fragrance line includes gentle scents for more-sensitive sniffers. Check out www.momtob.net to read about the collection inspired by the ocean air, warm sun and clear, blue waters. Ah…

Nursing Covers by Bébé au Lait

I would venture to say that most new moms feel less than cute and sexy in the first few months of new mommyhood. While nursing for some seems like the most beautiful, natural process, others may feel awkward attempting this new task in public. Bébé au Lait understands, girls. With fabulous, bold prints, and ample fabric for private mealtimes, their nursing covers will let the fashionable mama reclaim her style. Choose from a variety of covers, including a line of organics, at www.bebeaulait.com. Bon appétit!

Baby Games on KneeBouncers.com

Many a rainy spring day, a mom can be found standing in her kitchen racking her brain for new inside activities to keep little minds occupied. While there are loads of computer games geared at educating and stimulating your child, I’ve found a great website that offers free games that even babies will get a kick out of! Visit www.kneebouncers.com and check out what they offer to build a baby’s understanding of numbers, letters and music. Often, it takes just one keystroke of any key to keep the game a-movin’, and it will teach babies cause and effect in the process. Fun. Easy. Educational. Nice!

Rhino Toys Oball Original

If your little go-getter is ready to launch his or her first ball in the air, try the Rhino Toys Oball Original. You may have seen these balls in local kid-friendly places, activity centers, toy stores or friends’ houses, and there’s a reason—the malleable, smooth texture; bright colors; and easy-to-grasp holes throughout the balls are a perfect fit for tiny hands. Older kids will love ’em, too! Moms and dads will sigh with relief at these latex-, PVC- and BPA-free balls. This is a great toy for long car rides when Baby’s hands are craving something to hold or just for a fun pastime in the backyard.
