Lullabelly is yet another thing I wish I had when I was pregnant 10 and 4 years ago. I literally put a portable speaker on my belly when I was pregnant with Sebastian 10 years ago. Unfortunately, that was about the last time I listened to music (not kids music) and read a book in the same day! As moms know, that just doesn’t happen after the baby arrives.

With Lullabelly, you simply plug in your iPod® or iPhone™ and play music to your baby in the womb.
Now your baby can enjoy the many benefits of music — with Lullabelly, the prenatal music belt. Listening to music in the womb encourages learning, language development and memory skills. And playing the same music after birth can help your baby sleep better!

The Lullabelly Prenatal Music Belt is designed for an expectant mother to safely and comfortably play music (lullabies, audio books, or any prerecorded sounds) to her baby in the womb.

Simply plug Lullabelly into an iPod, iPhone, CD or MP3 player. There is a also a dual earphone adapter and earphones…so mom can listen too!

Forget about stretching a headset across your belly. It’s clumsy and nearly impossible to listen along to the same music while playing it for a baby.

It’s perfect for any expectant mother, and makes the perfect baby shower gift.

How much is it? $55
Where can I buy it? Lullabelly.com

Clorox has teamed up with every pregnant and new mom’s favorite author, Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel to bring us a great new guide titled "What to Expect: Guide to a Healthy Home". A wonderful guide for both expecting and experienced parents, this is something that you can give, and give, and give, free.

In the guide, Murkoff reminds us to do simple things like wash our hands before and after changing baby’s diaper, close the toilet lid before you flush (must do!!), and clean the sandbox at least every two weeks. Some of these things you probably already do, but you might not think to do a few things she recommends in the What to Expect: Guide to a Health Home guide like wash your child’s car seat cover.

The guide gives us practical tips on how to manage different rooms in our homes as well as our cars and outdoor toys. Murkoff even covers areas outside of our homes such as public bathrooms, playgrounds, cars and child care centers.

I recommend that you print the free 11 page .pdf version of What to Expect: Guide to a Health Home for yourself, your spouse, family, and friends. It’s just the right size to read quickly then store in your kitchen drawer, pantry, bathroom, or car for quick reference later on.

You can download the .pdf version of the What to Expect: Guide to a Healthy Home guide free, here.

Now that I am older, I have calmed down on the jewelry a bit. However, when I find a piece that I LOVE, I wear it 24/7. That’s exactly what I’ve done with my new Crafty Babies Sterling Silver Mommy Necklace.
 

The Mommy Necklace, handmade by Jamie Dadant, owner of Crafty Babies can be hand stamped with your child’s name, a favorite phrase, your name, or a general word such as ‘mommy’ which is what is on my piece. I am very pleased with the quality of the disc and the ‘mommy’ stamp. Both make for a necklace that I am happy to show off everywhere I go.

I was a little bummed that my kids names won’t fit on the disc but they are long names; Sebastian and Madelyn. The limit is seven characters. However, I LOVE that my necklace says "Mommy" because I LOVE to let everyone know that I am a proud mommy… no questions asked.

The sterling silver hand stamped disc hangs on a ball chain in either a 16" or 18" length… you choose. You can order additional discs if you have more than one child.

The Mommy Necklace is very affordable and is a great Mother’s Day gift idea.  I think all moms should buy a ‘mommy necklace’ for themselves as a reminder that you are the world’s greatest mom.

I usually don’t mention other products in a review, but I  had such a fun time browsing the Crafty Babies website and feel that I need to share a few of my other favorites with you. Besides the Mommy Necklace you will find a great selection of Skid Pants (I want some of these for Madelyn!), super cute baby shoes, and one of my favorite products on the site is the Hand Painted Frames, pictured to the right.
