Big Preggo Belly in the Way?



Tired of ruining your maternity shirts and outfits when you sit down to eat a meal?

Belly Bib will pay for itself by saving you in dry cleaning bills in just a few short uses. Assorted colors and fabrics, fun styles for great mommies-to be! No more embarrassing stains on your belly after your lunch break!
One size fits all! Made in the USA

Meet the Mom Behind the Product!



The Big Belly Bib was created by Suzy Prenovost after finding a real need to protect her clothing during her third trimester. Suzy lives in Seattle and is a wife and working mother of two boys with a third on the way. She was frustrated after dripping and spilling practically everything she ate on herself, whether it was the klutzy stage of pregnancy, or just the fact that her projecting belly was a prime target for spills! She solicited the help of Kristen Lemoine, a good friend of Suzy’s sister, and together they designed the Belly Bib! Kristen is an awesome designer and uses such quality fabrics, she sent Suzy the first Belly Bib which she used every day and got great feedback from other Moms who had the same problem when they were pregnant ! So they decided to form a partnership and launch the Big Belly Bib. Suzy and Kristen hope you love the Belly Bib much as they do and your expensive maternity clothes will thank you!!
Tell us what you think of this product and you could win one (but only if you comment)! Hint Hint Contest to come...

Nursing Just Got Easier!



Milk Bands Nursing Bracelets are the latest solution for breastfeeding mothers who desire to keep an accurate nursing log of their baby's feeds without the hassles of nursing logs, safety pins or bracelets being switched from side to side.

Milk bands were specifically designed to conveniently provide the feeding information of an infant to the nursing mother all on one wrist!


  • Milk Bands incorporate many unique features such as a side indicator, which lets the mother know which breat should be used when starting a feeding session by simply fllipping the Milk Band inside out once during every nursing session as well as a time tracking device which can be used for many different purposes:

  • Record a single feeding session to the nearest 5 min increment
  • Record multiple feeding sessions over a full day period
  • Record the number of times the baby fed in one day
  • Record the number of diapers a baby soiled in one day
  • Remind the mother what time the baby last fed
  • Reminding the mother roughly what time the baby is due for the next feeding

About the Mom behind the product


Milk bands were invented in January of 2005 by Jenny Pierce a young mother of two children.
"I had decided that I wanted my babies to be breastfed and after having a few setbacks breastfeeding my firstborn, I was anxious to try with my second which turned out more pleasant. But, due to lack of sleep, not being educated enough on breastfeeding and unable to find a decent way to track what side, what time or how long they would breastfeed (my babies were "on demand" feeders) it became frustrating for me. I was not looking forward to breastfeeding my next child until I had a logical solution to some of my breastfeeding problems. One night in January of 2005 my sister-in-law called me very upset with the same issues I had faced while nursing and not wanting her to stop breastfeeding I was determined to come up with something and the idea of Milk Bands was born. Milk Bands has already benefited my friends and family and I know that it will help you!"

Get Personal with your gift giving

There is nothing that compares to purchasing an item that is handmade! So much love and heart goes into the creation of a handmade item. With our busy schedules and hectic lifestyles, things tend to get so fast paced that sometimes the gifts that we give are just whatever we had time to pick up! Hand written letters are replaced by emails and personal phone calls to our loved ones are often replaced by emails as well. So imagine the joy when you give a handmade gift! It becomes so special because well, it stands out amongst the mass produced, manufactured in China products.

When is the last time you received a handwritten letter? I bet it has been a while, so imagine a handmade gift and a handmade letter. I bet the recipient would feel very appreciated. So let's start a trend and step back and make things more personal again.

Here are a few of our favorites:

For Moms

For Dad


For a new baby
For the older child
