Bargain Shopping

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Good news, bargain shoppers, we’ve unearthed a number of websites that offer up to 80% discounts (80%!!) on fabulous products specifically for mom, baby and child.   The mini social is a private, members only, on-line boutique, featuring designer clothing and accessories.  Totsy, also members only, offers moms on-the-go and moms-to-be access to brand-specific sales, as well as kids ages 0-7.

And now, our latest fav is Olivia Place an online destination specializing in  high-end baby and child items as well as specialty items for moms and women.  Their slogan is “Daily deals for mommy and more” and we say, don’t miss out on the bargains!  Happy Shopping!

This Month’s Rent

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Here’s something we haven’t heard of – maternity wear available for rent! You can choose everything from little black dresses to “evening out” wear without having to lay out the cash for a purchase.

RentMaternityWear.com is the brainchild of Marcelle Costello who wanted a site where women could feel beautiful at every stage of their pregnancy. She says, “When I was pregnant with my twins and needed a dress for a party it was hard to spend a lot of money on a maternity dress to “make do”—especially since I’d probably wear it once, and really for only a few hours. ” We couldn’t agree more!
