Nanny to Mommy

I remember one childhood Christmas, my dad had bought a little Barbie car. It was pink and had roof that would collapse to turn it into a convertible all at the press of a button. It even had real working head lights. But to my very sad dismay, my dad had forgotten the batteries! Oh NO!

 

Then he said I should check my stocking because Santa might have left me something nice in there I could play with now. And low and behold Santa had brought me the double A batteries I needed to pretend Barbie was in Malibu with the top down.

With the Holidays quickly approaching, I don't know about you, but I have been thinking about what gifts I want to give. And my go-to gift for friends, other moms, or the Hubby has always been wine. I recently had the opportunity to review a few wines from Uncorked Ventures with the Hubby. We were very impressed and can't wait to share them with others!

I received free products to provide this post. All opinions are my own.

 

I was recently introduced to Pearls by Laurel and I am very excited to share their Mother's Bracelet with all of you. I decided to give one to my mom as she doesn't really have any jewelry like this. I thought about getting my mother-in-law one for her soon-to-be 5 grandbabies, but wasn't sure exactly when the newest addition would be born. I fell in love with the Pearls by Laurel Mother's Bracelets as soon as I saw them. I was offered to get a bracelet with 5 stones even though they have bracelets that can go up to 12! The birth stones are made with Swarovski elements as well.

I have always been shy about nursing in public. I have large breasts and I don't want a whole lot of skin showing. It's a personal preference. I would never judge the way someone else chooses to feed their baby, this is just for my body. I know that I SHOULD be able to feed my baby whenever he needs to be fed, including out in public. But the reality is that I don’t want unwelcome attention.

When is a nursing cover not a nursing cover? Answer ... when it's a Boho Mama Breastfeeding Wrap. You can literally wear it straight out of its stylish packaging. It's easy to wash and dry and it keeps its shape. You can carry this wrap in your purse or diaper bag because it folds up really small and does not crease. My sister-in-law is due with her second baby this month and I'm making a breastfeeding care package for her. I have decided to include this beautiful wrap in it.

I have always been a huge fan of the Leapfrog since I was sent my very first product to review through Mommy Parties. Leapfrog products are not just educational, but very entertaining as well. Their newest and hottest product is the LeapFrog LeapTV which is an educational active gaming system. This product is so innovative it is on Amazon's Hot Holiday Toy List of 2014!
