Thyme Maternity Soft Cup Lace Nursing Bra
Thymy maternity is found online and at local BabiesRUS stores. They carry a full line of clothing and lingerie. I tried out their Thyme Maternity Soft Cup Lace Nursing Bra which retails for $39.00 in white.
Combining feminine details with the comfort of a soft cup, Thyme Maternity's Soft Cup Lace Nursing Bra is a must-have for the new mommy. You'll love the stretch lace fabric and ribbon detail on the straps which give it a flirty feel, while the wire-free cups ensure the all-day comfort you need. Convenient nursing clips allow for quick & easy breastfeeding access, while 100% cotton sling gives you maximum softness while supporting your breasts.

I like that it has a ribbon detail to cover up the clasps.
This bra comes in multiple sizes and it also comes in black. It is beautiful for before, during and after baby. No more frumpy nursing bras and it is so comfortable.
I would recommend this bra for style, comfort and over all beauty. This is a must have in your collection.

Nuby Silicone Squeeze Feeder™
Nuby carries many different feeding products for all ages. I love their Silicone Squeeze Feeder™.
Because it’s safe and easy, the Squeeze Feeder™ is great to use anywhere. The protective cover keeps food from leaking, making the Squeeze Feeder™ ideal for travel. Simply fill the feeder with the desired amount of baby food or cereal, and give the soft silicone feeder a gentle squeeze! The baby food is allowed to pass through a hole in the spoon’s neck and into the bowl of the spoon. Nûby’s Squeeze Feeder™ is also great for milk and formula. Feeding time has never been so easy!
This is great for traveling and for moms who are on the go. We will be making out own baby food so this will work perfectly for us. It also comes in other colors. It is easy to clean and only has a few pieces. We love this.

Nuby Gum-eez™ First Teether™
Nuby carries many teethers but for your newborn this is the perfect one for them. It is their Nuby Gum-eez™ First Teether™.
Our Natural Touch™ Gum-eez™ has a unique textured design that provides comfort to your baby’s delicate gums. The use of this First Teether™ is similar to a pacifier, making it ideal for the younger baby that hasn’t begun to develop eye-hand coordination yet. These teethers are made of medical grade silicone, which is 100% BPA Free.
Since he was a preemie it was a bit big for his mouth but he really chews on it and he doesn't care to much for a pacifier. I like the design and how flexible that it is. It comes in come great colors for your little boy or girl.
This can be purchased at DD's Discounts and Meijer.

Borsa Bella Go Bags and $40 Gift card Giveaway
Borsa Bella is a great company that sells handmade bags for yourself and your gadgets. Here is a little bit about her site.
Melissa’s creative talent was apparent at a young age and her mother adeptly harnessed this talent by teaching her to design and sew at the age of six. A native of Richland, Washington, Melissa was later drawn to the Wenatchee Valley with a fast pitch scholarship offered by Wenatchee Valley College. After completing her business degree at Eastern Washington University, she returned to the area and began sewing and designing bags as a hobby. When demand for her creations grew, she began selling her products online and doing home parties.

Levi & Cate Animal Puppets
The Cate & Levi Collection is H A N DMA D E at my studio in Toronto, Canada. Together with my talented production team, I oversee every aspect of this collection. All the materials are sourced as close to home as possible. This process cuts down on shipping and reduces our carbon footprint. The choice of reclaimed wool reduces demand for new materials that require both water and oil for production.
I was sent one of their Hand Puppets to try out and we selected their Kangaroo.
Whether you are looking for a one of a kind gift or an engaging toy for your kids, hand puppets make a perfect choice. For the cutest kangaroo and joey hand puppet in Toronto, choose Cate & Levi. Here at Cate & Levi our artisans use reclaimed wool to craft attractive kangaroo and joey hand puppets for our customers.
Each of our hand puppets is lovingly created with the goal of being as unique as the child receiving it. Kangaroo and joey hand puppets make a perfect choice for birthdays, Christmas or any special occasion. Our hand puppets are 100% eco-friendly. The beauty of Cate and Levi toys is that no two toys are identical, as each toy has a unique color combination.
Material: reclaimed wool
Size: 12” tall
These are so cute and well made. My 10 year old picked this out and he loves to play with it with the baby. The little baby comes out and you can play with that as well. We love Cate & Levi Products we have tried a few and I just love the wool and the quality of the wool.

Neat-Oh!® LEGO® CITY FIRE ZipBin® Large Toy Box & Playmat
The ZipBin® Story
Inspired by our problem, we thought creatively about how to solve it until... what if Max's toy bin unzipped to a play mat and zipped back up, capturing his toys? That would take the work out of having fun. It would be neat! And that's the name we chose for the company - Neat-Oh!® - that would introduce ZipBin® storage to the world...
We love legos here and this is the prefect thing for brendan to keep all of his loose legos in. We choose their Neat-Oh!® LEGO® CITY FIRE ZipBin® Large Toy Box & Playmat.
Don’t let disarray take over your city! LEGO® CITY FIRE ZipBin® Large Toy Box & Playmat is the coolest toy box around! LEGO® CITY Fire has the brave LEGO® firefighters on the exterior and unzips to a fun Playmat. With the capacity to hold thousands of bricks, it stores just about any mess. Wipes clean with a damp cloth and weighs two and a half pounds. LEGO® Blocks not included. ZipBin® Products - Keep it Together™. LEGO, The LEGO logo, the Brick and Knob configuration are trademarks of the LEGO Group. ©2012 LEGO Group.
The graphics and colors on this are great and it is durable and wipeable. The sides zip down to make for a playmat.
This is great to pack up and take to grandmas house. Brendan gives it a big 2 thumbs up. They have sets for both boys and girls.

A "neat" story
Could messiness be the mother of invention? ZipBin® storage originated when my inventive 10-year-old son, Max, and I put our heads together for some true "out-of-the-box" problem solving. Like many boys, Max loves plastic building blocks. And he likes to dump them on the floor-CRASHHH!! Of course, I loved to see Max play, but I groaned when I heard that loud mess of blocks spilling everywhere. Neither Max nor I liked cleaning up all those little pieces.Inspired by our problem, we thought creatively about how to solve it until... what if Max's toy bin unzipped to a play mat and zipped back up, capturing his toys?
