MATERNITY MONDAY… gliders and rockers – nursery must haves!

gliders and rocking chairs

Our glider is my favorite part of his nursery – I spent many nights breast feeding from it – and now there’s nothing like curling up with him and reading a good book!

When you’re pregnant you start thinking of all the things you need for when the baby comes – everything from diapers to the all important gliders and rockers.  Gliders and rockers are a must have for your nursery – a great chair that you can sit in comfortably to breast feed, relax in or rock your precious angel to sleep.  You will spend a lot of your time in this chair and for years to come – it was one of the major purchases in our nursery we did not want to cut corners on.  Gliders and rockers need to be comfortable, cute for your babies room and yet still nice enough that once your child grows and want to replace that space with a hot wheels track or my little pony stable it can still find a place somewhere else in your home…  When you are doing those middle of the night feeds or soothing your little one when they’re unwell or having a night terror – this chair will be your closest ally.  Check out my favorite gliders and rockers you need to check out for your little one’s nursery!

MATERNITY MONDAY… how to style your bump

Figuring out how to style your bump may seem like one of the biggest mysteries of pregnancy but the key is not to over complicate it.  There’s not need to abandon your personal taste just because you’re dressing for two and don’t be afraid to show of your growing belly.  This is a glorious time of your life so you may as well dress (well) for it.  Learning how to style your bump is all about embracing pregnancy and celebrating it – not trying to hide it.  You can stick with a neutral palette, clean lines and figure hugging silhouettes or get a bit more wild with color and prints!  The world is your maternity style oyster and there are plenty of options!  Check out some of my favorite maternity clothes this week and get excited about how you’re going to style your bump!

MATERNITY MONDAY… perfect pregnancy style

Achieving perfect pregnancy style is certainly objective but one thing is certain – being comfortable is step one and then looking polished is step two.  There is SO much going through expectant momma minds that range from anxiety to euphoria and yes, sometimes – what the heck do I wear?  Well, perfect pregnancy style is all about simple silhouettes that don’t try to hide that gorgeous bump.  It means, dressing the way you would if you didn’t have a baby or 2 growing inside your midsection…  It also means dressing appropriately and sensibly given the fact that you are, indeed, with child.  While 9 months is quite  a brief period of your life (although it doesn’t feel like it at the time) its an enormously significant one you should celebrate and embrace.  Style your bump with some of these great maternity clothes and get that perfect pregnancy style!
