Mommy Track'd - the Working Mother's Guide to Managed Chaos


So after a visit on The Daily Stroll, I found a new site, Mommy Track'd, a stylish, entertaining guide for stay-at-work moms. There are great e-cards, discussion groups and networking opportunities.

Love it! I'm always scouring the web for interesting sites and I keep coming back to this one. There are great giveaways, networking opportunities and a community of women, moms-to-be and experienced that are living and loving in the same boat that you are.

Options for carrying the baby: Metrobaby Slings


A few months ago while at the Celebrate Fairfax event, I met a fabulous, local mom-prenuer named Peri and was introduced to Metrobaby Slings. A fan of babywearing since the birth of my daughter, I was eager to learn about her product. What I found were beautifully made slings in colors and patterns that I had not found anywhere else. The one I settled on was the Lacey,(pictured on Peri to the left) a beautiful black, red and white print that reverses to solid black and we love it. It goes with anything and the fabric was the perfect weight for wearing my little one in. Even my hubby carried Z in the sling, a testament to the ease and comfort of babywearing -- as being a tall man with little patience for instructions, it is a definite feat.

Now that we know that we will be having a little boy, it's almost time to settle on a couple of other slings to round out our collection.

On the do list: Pack a delivery bag... at 10% off


A couple of weeks ago, we ran into a fabulous service put on by Little Stork, pre-packed hospital bags. It really is an ingenious idea -- put together all the great products that moms know and love in one bag, so that all a new mom has to think about it getting that baby out, not whether or not she left something at home. I also think its pretty nice that the bag covers labor coach and new baby as well.

The bags are customizable, in three colors and products come in four sizes to fit a range of mothers. They are stuffed with premium and organic products and delivered in an embroidered tote. They also come in four styles, the essential, original, deluxe and mother-of-all.

Little Stork's pre-packed totes have been loved by celebrity moms like Gwen Stephani, Jamie Pressly and Martina McBride and probably even more so by their signifant others -- what greater gift can you give than the gift of ease. What new mom, or mom-to-be again wouldn't love that gift?
