Last month, Ingrid & Isabel was one of the Fashion Forward Conference sponsors and I immediately feel in love with their maternity chic style during the fashion show segment and was stoked when I was also able to cope a few of their signature Bellyband that were on display, a maternity must-have.

Just the thought of layering on mounds of extra clothes this Fall season seemed almost daunting, so when I was sent over I&I’s Athena Maxi Dress for review, I couldn’t wait to debut my 6 month belly bump.  What’s great about this Maxi Dress is not only is it comfortable, but can be easily worn from day to night, either simply by adding a jean jacket, scarf or bedazzled jewels. The best part? Fashion longevity. Because they are inherently drapey, these dresses will look great during your pregnancy and afterwards.

To change the look of your Maxi Dress from day to night, simply add these showstopping pieces.

How to potty train your child

Every parent has to go through certain things in raising their child and potty training is one thing most parents fear.  The different theories behind how to train your child, advice from friends and family, and the stories from people whose child woke up on day and decided they would potty train themselves.  This can be a very stressful time with your child.  The constant asking them if they have to go potty, accidents, self doubt that you are doing something wrong, and just over all frustration.  Don’t worry because you are not the first parent to have issues potty training and you won’t be the last.

I am taking this opportunity to reflect on the things that I am thankful for, since this was a week of pure gratitude.  First I received an email from Circle of Moms informing me that my blog was nominated for Top 25 New York Moms (click the link to vote)…this blog started 2 1/2 years ago when I documented my pregnancy with Lil B, which then led me and YOU to vent about motherhood, breastfeeding, fashion and becoming a stay at a home mom.  Because of my love for writing and my family, I continue to post each and everyday.  So thank you for allowing me to vent and share with you my daily adventures in motherhood.

….above all things, I was able to spend some outdoorsy fun with the family.  The three of us headed to “Da Bronx” and took in a Yankees game. Since it was Lil B’s first every major league baseball game, it was pure excitement for us.  Not only did he cheer when the crowd cheered, but he also sat still and tentatively watch the game for two innings (now that’s alot of sitting for this active boy).

Even though the Yankees lost to the Blue Jays (8-5), it was still a happy day…filled with so many firsts.

And if you are wondering if I ate way too many hot dogs and hamburgers from the look of my midsection, then you are right…but that’s not the reason for my bump…tee hee, more on that later!

…thank you for taking this journey with me…

What are you thankful for this week?  Please share with us below.  
Update: The Circle of Moms Contest is closed. Thanks for all that voted.  I am not officially your Top 25 New York City Mom Bloggers.

The months leading up to my pregnancy with ‘Lil B I prepared my mind and body not only with the proper nutrition and exercise but, by taking a daily supplement of prenatal vitamins. Yes, that’s right, I dutifully took prenatal vitamins well before I even found out I was pregnant. How’s that for getting a head-start???  Here’s why…. View Post
