SunnyBump for New and Expectant Parents!

Have you heard of the latest craze yet?  Well, if not, then follow me and get on board!  Sunny Bump is a great tool for new and expectant parents.  Think back to when you were expecting your first child.  You were completely obsessed  a bit excited to create your baby registry.  If you were like us though, you got to the store and were so overwhelmed.  We ended up asking a mom of 4 kids to come help us choose what was really needed.  What was worth the splurge and where should you save.  The only problem with this is that we were limited to the brands that were carried at that store.  This really limits your options.  SunnyBump offers a solution.  While it is not a registry, you can browse their site for the latest and greatest baby gear for new parents, expectant parents and parents of toddlers and preschoolers too!  As you find items you love, you turn them into your personal collection.  We have four kids and it is hard to take them out sometimes.  Especially since my husband works 6 days a week and is taking night classes.  I created a board for gear that I “Gotta have to GO”!

Go check out SunnyBump and then let me know what collections you created!

Thyme Maternity Review and a Discount for YOU!

I was notified of Thyme Maternity being launched in the US by a PR rep we work with.  I thought it sounded really neat and was thrilled when I was given the chance to review a pair of their Yoga Pants.

Here I am at 38 weeks pregnant and I get these amazing Thyme Maternity Yoga Pants.  They actually make want to be pregnant longer because they are so amazingly comfortable.  I am short, 5’3″, so I am waiting for my husband to hem these for me so I can wear them out and about.  But I will tell you this….once I put them on I do NOT want to take them off.  They feel just Heavenly.  They are 95% cotton and 5% spandex.  These Yoga Pants retail for $35 and let me tell ya….that is bargain.  You can dress these up or wear them for exercise or around the house or to the store.  They also will be great for that infamous 4th trimester.  You know, when you are not pregnant any more but none of your pre-pregnancy clothes fit you yet.  Thyme Maternity is selling their clothes at Babies-R-Us.  I have a great coupon to share with you too.

So go ahead and get these pants!!!! Even if you are not pregnant yet, GET THEM.  You will want them and you will LOVE them.

Thyme Maternity can be found on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Disclosure: The product(s) offered for the review were free of charge, no purchase necessary. Any opinions expressed are my own honest opinions and are not influenced by any form of compensation.
