XELA Aromasticks

I LOVE THIS!!

I have always bought the aromatherapy diffusers that you have to pour the essential oil into the top of and light a candle at the bottom to get the sent out into the room, but NO MORE!!  This is such a great idea for those of us who want a nice fresh scent through out the house, but don’t want to leave candles burning.

Simple, elegant, and effective, these reed diffusers are the newest trend in home fragrance options! Slender, porous bamboo reeds soak in fragrant 100% essential oil elixirs to benefit both mind and body. For best effect, flip sticks periodically or as desired to refresh the intensity of the fragrance.

There are several fragrances available including fragrances specifically for the nursery, romance, and the holidays.

Snoozer Body Pillow

I received a Snoozer Body Pillow as a generous gift from the owner before I was pregnant and have recently started using it. 

I can’t tell you how much I love this pillow!

By the way.. that’s not me in the picture. I don’t smile in my sleep. At least I don’t think I do.

Anyway, my husband calls the body pillow my new "barrier". Besides not feeling the slightest bit sexy, now I’ve put up this pillow barrier, so I really do feel quite sorry for Tim. At least the cat slept on his side of the bed last night!

No matter which direction I’m facing, the pillow provides support. If I am facing the pillow, I wrap my legs around it like in the picture to the left, but if I have my back to the pillow it’s really nice because it provides support for my back.

The Snoozer Body Pillow is also made for children and serves other purposes such as breastfeeding support.

If you or someone you know is pregnant, you’ve got to get a Snoozer Body Pillow.

Cry Baby Diaper Bag


I am in my 1st trimester and already looking for "cool" pregnancy and new baby stuff. I found this diaper bag while searching google. I’ve seen donzens of diaper bags in the past couple of weeks but this one stands out from the rest. Diaper bags are definently becoming more "funky" which I think is great, but this diaper bag will add style/oompf to your outfit of choice, whatever it may be even when in sweats… actually, especially when wearing sweats which most new moms do for a while at least.

Excerpt from website: "Award-winning TV commercial director and international graphic designer Jay Vigon has set new standards of creative excellence for his entire career, and has worked with Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart, the Doobie Bros., Van Halen, and Fleetwood Mac. He also designed the logo for the Return of the Jedi.
Now, he’s brought his fun funky style to a diaper bag called Cry Baby. Made of Vinyl so it wipes easily, the Cry Baby Diaper bag is open for easy access. The bag comes with a coordinating changing pad that also has a Cry Baby on it. Separate area for 2 baby bottles, diapers and changing pad. Glass or cell phone case attached. Cleans easily with warm soapy water. Measures 16" x 12" x 6"".

You can buy the "Cry Baby Diaper Bag" at Browns on 5th for around $70. It is currently 20% so hurry and get yours today!
