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?

Little Luxuries for D-Day: Dearjohnnies gowns

As we get closer to D-Day (due day), I find myself looking for the goodies to stock the bag and here is one that I definetly one won't leave behind: my gown by Dearjohnnies.

As a mom that has been down this road once before, who remembers the non-descript, almost gane-green gown that is featured in the pictures from my daughter's birth, I was excited to learn of this product and wished that I had had one for Zenora's birth.

Dearjohnnies, made by the fabulous Rachel Zinny and company, are thoughtfully-designed hospital gowns kicked up several knotches. They come in a range soft, pretty fabrics trimmed with grosgrain. The gowns have snap-down sleeves that allow for easy breastfeeding access and snap from behind to give you a little coverage back there.

The gowns have been loved and worn by celebrities and local mommas alike. Every mom-to-be deserves a little delivery room luxury.
