Baby Einstein Diaper Cake
With a good friend's baby shower approaching, I had no idea what I was going to get. I was so excited when I found this Baby Einstein Diaper Cake! I LOVE Baby Einstein books and I've always wanted to try a diaper cake.
The diaper cake is a little out of my budget for the shower gift. So I thought, o.k. I could make that, right? (I had no idea how to make a diaper cake) So I looked around and found this very helpful video that demonstrates how to make a diaper cake! It looks pretty easy and makes a great shower gift or center piece for a shower!
What do you like to give as a baby shower gift?

Boob Maternity Review/Giveaway
It's time for the blog carnival!! We'll have several giveaways starting today, so make sure you check out the other giveaways and also head over to the Blog Carnival Mr. Linky coming up soon!
Our next sponsor is: Boob Maternity!
I've been wearing several pieces of Boob maternity clothing and I LOVE it! The first top that I tried was the Maternity Transformer T (left). I loved this top because the tie is detachable. Whenever it isn't, it always seems to land on my boobs instead of under, which is never very flattering, so I usually avoid tops like this. Also, it can be worn as a belt under the belly for a whole new look! I loved that the top was light weight and very stretchy and it was loose, but not too loose.
The second top that I tried was the Maternity Blouse (right). This is a great staple for going to work in although my boobs felt a little too big for the top (it's a common problem for me). I loved that the little bow could be adjusted to give shape without being too tight.
The first pair of pants I tried was the B-Skinny Jeans (right). I've never been a skinny jeans kind of gal, but these fit good and would go great with a pair of boots. The second pair of pants I tried was the B-Hollywood pants in black corduroy (left). These were my favorite that I tired on and I wear them all the time! They are super comfy, fit great and can be worn to work, to the grocery store, out to dinner or any where else, depending on what top I wear with them. I love the fit and the versatility of these pants and all of the Boob clothing I tried!
Buy It: Boob Maternity clothing can be purchased at stores across the US or at several online stores, including Due Maternity. The Transformer T is on sale for $54 at Due Maternity.
Win It: One lucky winner will win a pair of maternity jeans and a maternity top from Boob!! (Actual prize will depend on winner's size and availability) To enter, head to Boob's website and have a look at their awesome collection! Then come back and comment with your favorites!

The first giveaway up is from Ingrid & Isabel!
Ingrid & Isabel makes some of the most essential items for a maternity wardrobe. One of may favorite items is the Ruched tank. My two preggo cousins and I tried this tank on and it is great!

Kimberly Parry Organics Review & Giveaway
Kimberly Parry Organics carries a wide range of organic beauty and bath products that are all natural, healthy and preservative free. I had the opportunity to review products from the Baby & Mom line and have good things to report!
Why we love Kimberly Parry Organics:
- High quality ingredients (no preservatives, dyes, chemicals, or animal ingredients)
- Work with ethical suppliers
- Donate 10% of profits to support the environment
- Great products!
The Bum Butter was just as soothing on the skin. The product goes on smooth and is made from chamomile, jojoba oil, shea butter, coconut oil, and more. These all natural ingredients make the bum butter protect and heal baby's skin.
My sister-in-law also tried out the Bum Butter and the Baby Oil and loved them both. She used the baby oil in Carsen's bath, although it can also be used directly onto the skin. The Baby Oil calmed Carsen down before bed. Another great feature: The oil comes in a convenient spray bottle instead of a potentially messy pour bottle. I used the Baby Oil on my skin and found that it didn't leave my skin feeling oily and it really helped with my dry skin.
You will definitely love these products!
Buy It: You can buy the products from the Baby & Mom line directly from Kimberly Parry Organics for between $34-$42.
Win It: We're giving away THREE sample packs of the Baby & Mom line products containing a trial size of the Belly Butter, Bum Butter & Baby Oil! To enter, head over to Kimberly Parry Organics, then come back and comment with the product you'd most like to try (it'll be hard to choose!)

Bellybar Giveaway
Bellybar is a great way to get all of the necessary nutrients from you and your baby during and after pregnancy.
How Bellybar Can Help You Achieve Good Nutrition (from Bellybar's website)
During pregnancy, your nutritional needs increase by roughly 300 calories per day over your normal diet. When you are nursing, your calorie needs increase by roughly 500 calories per day over your normal (non-pregnant) diet. Bellybar provides almost half of the extra calories that pregnancy calls for, and it comes packed with extra dietary vitamins and minerals, which are derived from natural ingredients such as flaxseed for Omega 3 fatty acids. In fact, Bellybar may contain all of the supplemental nutrients needed during normal pregnancies and lactation, but consult your physician for your unique needs.
When you don’t get the nutrition you need, your baby doesn’t get it either, which increases your baby’s risk of low birth weight and neural tube defects (improper development of the brain or spinal cord), among other problems. Poor nutrition also increases your risk of fatigue related to anemia and other problems. For these reasons, it’s common to supplement nutritional needs, even before conception.
Likewise, a vitamin and mineral fortified food, such as Bellybar, helps you to achieve your recommended prenatal nutrition. Eating is not only more enjoyable (think good taste and an excuse to snack), but it also supplies the extra calories you need, which includes the extra vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy pregnancy.
Win It: We're giving away a sampler of Bellybars! Win a Burstin' Chocolate, Berry Nutty Cravings and Mellow Oats Bellybar. Simply head to Bellybar, then come back and comment with which product you'd most like to try!
