Want to turn your pregnant belly into a work of art? Give Art Bellies a try before you delivery your little bundle. My husband and I enjoyed experimenting with this product. We essentially painted a silhoutte of my expanding belly. The kit came with practice paper, paints, brushes, and dishes for the paint and it was all packaged in very zen-like packaging.The kit would make a fun baby shower gift for an artistic mom-to-be. My only complaint was that the brushes really soaked up the paint, and we almost didn’t have enough paint to finish our masterpiece. But it was a fun way to commemorate this time in our life and our painting turned out pretty good. Disclosure: A free product sample was sent to facilitate this review. For more information, click
Cool news from a PR pitch email I just received. e.p.t. is celebrating "The Moment You Knew" with their very groovy keepsake case so you can actually have a spot to store that coveted "positive" pregnancy test. And it’s free too with a proof of purchase from e.p.t. which is a nice bonus and the perfect way to savor the moment and keep it in a safe place for years to come. I always felt weird throwing out my positive pregnancy tests…. so I saved them forever but never had a real spot to keep it. I wish I had this case back then! I’m not the most organized person but I am sentimental -after all it is that "moment I knew" I’d be having a child! Seriously, I’m not sure if I still have my tests that are probably some 6+ years old if I count my miscarriage before Mackenzie. I had them in a bathroom drawer forever but I might actually finally have thrown them out when they were starting to disintegrate – I honestly don’t remember but will need to save them now in each child’s memory box if I didn’t already. 88% of Moms save their ultrasound pics and 25% of Moms save those pregnancy tests too so this really is a genius idea!

Designer Maternity Delivery Gowns are a genius invention. I only wish this Girlie Gown sample had arrived for me prior to the birth of Mackenzie or Kyle! Girlie Gowns will help you look more than a little special on one of the most important days of your life – not to mention perhaps one of the most humiliating….although I must admit during the act of labor fashion was the last thing on my mind! Why not have a hospital gown to call your own? Besides the experience of looking good or at least better when you may need it most, the enjoyment you’ll get over the photos for years will more than cover the $49 cost – compared to wearing those nasty raggedy gowns! Classy Mommy Approved. This gown almost makes me want to try for # 3. Save 15% with code CM15. For more information, click
Bellybar Shakes are my latest food and beverage obsession. Totally scrumptious. I kid you not this sample came in the mail and I devoured my first shake within 15 minutes of opening the package. And subsequently ordered 16 more shakes from Baby Center within the hour. Bellybar Shakes are now my favorite item in the “Bellybar” product line of goodies for before, during, and after pregnancy. As a breastfeeding mama, I struggle stay hydrated and keep my caloric intake high enough to keep up my level of energy and to satisfy my 5 month old’s growing body. They’ve got 2 flavors: chocolate and vanilla. I find both equally yummy. These shakes satisfy my cravings and quench my thirst. Even better they are about 180 calories and fortified with the elusive DHA along with fiber. Each milkshake contains 50 mg vegetarian omega-3 DHA and about 4 grams of Fiber. Love it.I think I’ll be drinking these long after I stop breastfeeding as my quintessential healthy snack. For more information, click
