19 days until baby makes his grand entrance! Can you believe it? I can hardly stand it!
One thing I am a little nervous for though is feeding baby. I am planning on breastfeeding…and let’s hope it works out for at least a little bit because as I have quickly learned babies are expensive and that includes their formula! Not only that but I want the bonding that comes from breastfeeding.
One thing I have noticed though, breastfeeding or bottle feeding, babies are heavy! Especially when they fall asleep and become dead weight. Holding a baby for 20-30 minutes while you feed them, over and over, must make your arm tired right? I mean, I feel like I haven’t done any heavy lifting in a long time. I am going to need some help!
That is where Mombo fits in!
Mombo, by Bright Starts is part of the Comfort and Harmony line. Designed for mother and baby, Mombo is a nursing pillow unlike any others. The shape is just perfect for positioning baby for easy feeding and the pillow is wide for plenty of cradling space. It also features a two-sided design called Firm2Soft. The firm side giving support for feeding and the soft siding is comfy for lounging and tummy time! Either side, the pillow has really soft fabrics that make you just want to cuddle up even more.
Another thing that makes Mombo unlike any other breastfeeding pillow it that it offers a soothing vibration feature. It is a little device that you can put in the pillow while baby is lounging to help them calm down or just enjoy lounging around a bit more. Moms love getting in a massage chair, why wouldn’t baby?
Recently I had two friends have babies. I was in charge of getting them presents from our company’s owners. When I asked both what they wanted but hadn’t gotten yet, they both said breastfeeding pillows (only one was breastfeeding). I quickly ran to Babies R Us and bought them both Mombos! These make great gifts for moms and dads. You can even buy the nude pillow and a slipcover. That makes cleaning a breeze. Plus, when the next baby rolls around of a different gender, just get a different slipcover!
Mombo is Real Moms recommended!!

I was sent a beautiful sterling, diamond knot ring from Kranich’s Jewelers. I was blown away with the design of this ring and it has not come off my finger; definitely a new favoritel. So gorgeous and simple, but still makes a statement. It has been a while since I’ve added a piece to my collection and I forgot how special a new piece of jewelry can make you feel! I loved browsing through Kranich’s site and looking at all the gorgeous jewelry they offer. Even though I have an amazing wedding ring, I couldn’t help but get sucked in buy all the gorgeous engagement rings available from so many talented designers. My diamond is round, but I loved so many of the

As always, I love keeping my eyes peeled for unique and trendy boutiques and shops for my children’s clothing. I have always had so much fun dressing my kids and it’s getting super fun now that Ava is developing her own fashion opinions; she definitely knows what she likes and has a cute little style developing! I recently discovered a gem of a shop online; the

Music has always been a huge part of my life. Growing up I have several memories riding in the car singing with my family. Throughout my childhood, I learned to play a few different instruments and have always loved singing. I love that my kids seem to find joy in music just like I do. We are always listening to music and singing songs around the house. Hollis especially loves when I pretend to play piano on his tummy and sing like a crazy woman! Ha! Ava loves to sing and even make up her own silly songs, a girl after my own heart! 
Says Mo, “As the dad of two boys, I know that sanity can be hard to come by in the parental world, and I’m just trying to offer a small dose with my music. I wanted to create an album for parents to jam to with their kids. Monster Suit is my third album for families and the first done in a proper studio (and not in my basement)! My main influences include Neil Young and The Rolling Stones, although many of my compositional ideas stem from my undergraduate years studying with jazz wizard Dan Balmer at Lewis & Clark College.”
