Going shopping this weekend? Well, then you may want to swing by Babystyle.

Perfecting Expecting loves finding a good sale and one of our favorite maternity clothing stores, Babystyle, is having a great sale right now.

Don’t miss out on this one! There are only a few days left for the Bostonmamas.com Britax car seat giveaway.

One lucky winner will receive a Britax Diplomat Convertible Car Seat in the style of the winner’s choice (retail value = $259.99).

Britax is a company known for developing some of the safest car seats available so to receive a free one, and check an item off the registry list…it doesn’t get any better then that!

While baby planning is still an industry in its infancy (bad pun, I know…but I couldn’t resist), it is really starting to gain some momentum. Check out these recently published articles on ABC News online and Newhouse News Service. Perfecting Expecting even gets a plug in a the Newhouse article…how exciting!

 
An increasingly popular trend, couples are taking a “one last hoorah” vacation before the baby arrives - coined a babymoon. Boston.com just recently featured an article on babymooning which got us thinking. With summer almost here, and Sandee on her honeymoon, a vacation sounds really nice right now.

Need some babymoon ideas? The article includes website resources such as:
baby-moon.eu
babymoonfinder.com
bnbfinder.com/babymoon
babymoonguide.com
babymoonblog.com

Have you or would you take a babymoon? Where would you go? Share your thoughts…

We ALL scream for ICE CREAM! Tomorrow, May 21st, Baskin Robbins is holding a fun promotional event for expecting moms….a free soft serve cone for Bump Day.

What a great idea but sadly this offer isn’t valid in the Boston area. We know, we know…but please don’t shoot the messenger. We still thought it would be nice to spread the word so our preggo friends in California, Chicago, New York, Nashville, TN and El Paso, TX could take advantage. So, spread the love and tell them to have a cone for us!
Yummy!

 
Congratulations Sandee! My dearest friend, and co-owner of Perfecting Expecting, tied the knot yesterday! Here’s a pic of the two of us at her rockin’ reception. It was an amazing wedding and Sandee was the most beautiful bride!

To ALL Moms -
Whether you are expecting your first or are an experienced mother of four, Perfecting Expecting wishes you a beautiful Mother’s Day! We would also like to personally thank our moms for all of their love and support over the years! We love you!
~Sandee and Kristen~
