Whoever said stripes weren’t flattering hasn’t seen Ellen Page rock her black and white striped dress on the red carpet. This season nautical and stripes have made a comeback and Belly Dance Maternity has found the most flattering maternity tops to make you and your belly look breath-taking. One of our favorites pieces this season is the Ella Moss Stripe Pandora Tunic. This comfy and chic tunic features a peek-a-boo lace shoulder detail, and side ruching for a flattering fit.

Other stripes we’ve loved include the maternity NOM Anna Tank and the comfy maternity NOM Stripe Pocket Tee. For more sexy stripes, check out www.bellydancematernity.com!

We think it’s safe to say that this summer could not get any hotter. Let Belly Dance Maternity help keep you cool. Check out some of our favorite things to help you beat the heat.

One of our favorite dresses for the summer is the Japanese Weekend White Skirt/Dress. This maternity dress is made from a light weight voile material that is very breathable plus the strapless style is perfect for the beach or a shower.

The Bobble Water Bottle is the best way to sip your water this summer in style. This water bottle is perfect for pregnant women because the carbon filter removes chlorine and other contaminants from the water. This BPA free water bottle not only makes your water taste better, but it’s the fraction of the cost of regular bottled water.

When all else fails heading to the pool or a beach is surely the best way to stay cool. Arrive at the water in style in this fun and sexy maternity bikini from Ripe Maternity. The side ruching on the Ripe Maternity Bond Girl Bikini gives it a flattering fit and the halter neck provides lots of support. Comfort and style, what more could a pregnant woman ask for?

We can’t wait to see the beautiful babies that are born from these celebrities. Congratulations moms-to-be!

OK, so we know teaching table manners is a valuable life lesson, but why not have a little fun at the table every now and then? We love these new products by Fred & Friends that make mealtime fun again!

The Dinnersaurs Utensils by Fred & Friends is another great way to make the dinner table something that the kids look forward to. This adorable dinosaur fork and spoon set making learning how to use their utensils fun!
