The Essential Yummie Tummie

September 10, 2008 By

As all new Moms know, our bodies don’t return to their old selves as soon as the baby is born. What to do then about that stubborn midsection? Luckily for us, an amazing new product called Yummie Tummie has hit store shelves. Created by Heather Thomson, fashion designer and celeb stylist, Yummie Tummie is the PERFECT solution to all your post baby weight problems! Created to be a tank and shaper in one, the Yummie Tummie is the essential item to own after birth – they even make a nursing tank version! The tank has a 100% cotton bust and hip panel that appear to be a normal tank but it’s the secret spandex midsection panel which does all the magic. The secret shaper smoothes from your bust line to your hips, concealing those unwanted muffin tops and post-pregnancy bellies that we all suffer from. The Yummie Tummie has become so popular that it has been featured on everything from Oprah to The Today Show to Entertainment Tonight. For all new Moms out there, this is one product that should definitely be on your list of must-haves!

Travel Relief

February 6, 2007 By

You may still be expecting, but post-pregnancy you may feel the urge to resume your traveling days.  We all know that traveling is tough these days, and doing it with a tot is even tougher. Well, we have a favorite product, and it is one that we personally use and adore.  It may seem utilitarian, but the Gogo Kidz Travelmate is a parenting essential.  The Travelmate is a wheeled carseat carrier, similar to the wheels you use to pull a suitcase.  Believe us, using the Gogo Kidz Travelmate makes it a breeze to make your way through the airport.

Breastfeeding Style

January 21, 2007 By

Breastfeeding has become a much more open topic than it used to be, and celebs have certainly helped bring it to the forefront.  Will Ferrell looked great carrying his wife’s breastpump as his accessory at the Golden Globe awards.  And stars such as Gwen Stefani and Gwyneth Paltrow have opened up about feeding their babes.

Tea Collection

December 17, 2006 By

Celeb moms like Jennifer Garner, Katie Holmes, and Madonna are all fans of our favorite baby and toddler clothing line.  Tea Collection’s designs take their inspiration from countries around the world and designs are sophisiticated, yet easy to wear.  The Nordic-inspired sweater dress pictured below is a favorite.  In our opinion, Tea Collection can’t be beat for stylish and wearable pieces.
