New Stuff

BellySock

One of our very coolest new products is the BellySock. What is a BellySock? A simple maternity accessory that slips over your belly with no buttons, snaps, or hooks to deal with. The stylish maternity accessory that keeps your belly covered when your maternity tops don’t.

BellySock works with non-maternity clothing and maternity clothing to give you a unique look and style. With BellySock, instantly expand your wardrobe to include all your favorite tops you thought you could no longer wear through pregnancy.

Or, choose a Nursing BellySock, to conceal and keep your belly warm when breastfeeding simply by pulling it up over your belly and just under your chest. The fabric feels great against your skin and baby’s skin. A great alternative to a draped blanket over you, it allows you to maintain that special eye contact with baby as well as allow sufficient air flow to baby while breastfeeding.

Nurse-n-Glow Nighttime Co Sleeping Nursing Pillow

You've nursed a baby in your bed. You know that it is the single best way to get some sleep as a new mom. You also know how difficult it can be in the beginning.

However, thanks to the Nurse-n-Glow nursing pillow, not so much anymore. The self-contained “soft glow” light allows Mom to see what she is doing without disturbing her baby or partner. Plus, the lighting unit has a programmable chip that shuts the light off after 30 minutes, thus saving on battery life. In addition the light can be turned on or off manually by pressing the top of the pillow.

The pillow's size and sturdy construction make it an effective barrier between sleeping partner and baby. This helps insure a safer co-sleeping environment for all, providing peace of mind for both mother and partner.

Interesting Info

'Tis the season of eating, and far be it from me to not make a woman feel a little better about chocolate during the Holidays!

As always, we have got some very interesting info on our site. Here is a sample of one of our articles:





The Health Benefits of Chocolate ~ It's OK to Eat a Candy Bar a Day When Pregnant. Really!
~by Susie Cortright, http://www.bestselfhelp.com


Good news. Research says you can have your cake and eat it, too. As long as that cake is chocolate. For centuries, chocolate has been used to treat diseases and maladies such as depression. Civilizations from Mexico to Europe have hailed chocolate as an aphrodisiac. The U.S. government officially recognized its virtues in World War II, making the chocolate candy bar standard issue for the military.



Chocolate's scientific name, theobroma cacao, is literally translated as "food of the gods," and we chocolate cravers don't need any studies to tell us the power of chocolate in mood alteration. Its feel good chemicals have long been associated with feelings of love, safety, and comfort. Maybe that's why Americans eat an average of 12 pounds of chocolate per year.



Chocolate contains vitamins A, B1, C, D, and E, as well as potassium, sodium, iron, and fluorine. Now, researchers say those creamy chocolate confections may actually help us live longer, too.



Harvard researchers tracked nearly 8,000 males, with an average age of 65. Those men who enjoyed chocolate and candy lived almost a year longer than those who did not. Those who ate one to three candy bars per month had a 36 percent lower risk of death (compared to the people who ate no candy), while those who ate three or more candy bars per week had a 16 percent lower risk.



Why? The researchers say they don't know for sure, but that it might have something to do with antioxidants. Chocolate contains the same antioxidant chemicals as wine (phenols). In the chocolate bar, phenols help preserve the fat. In our bodies, phenol can help prevent atherosclerosis.



Like anything, chocolate is best enjoyed in moderation. Just one ounce of solid chocolate packs about 150 calories and can be as much as 50 percent fat. So, for your next chocolate fix, consider reduced fat alternatives, such as chocolate covered foods or chocolate syrup
