We are thrilled to announce that we are now partners with a fabulous organization: Room to Grow, a non-profit organization that’s mission is to enrich the lives of babies and children in poverty. The program works closely with families to assist them with parenting counseling, customized support, and essential baby items for the first three years of life, which are the most critical for healthy development. In a warm, welcoming environment, families are greeted by comfy couches and shelves to the ceiling filled with clothes, toys and books….but the demand always outweighs the supply. How can you help? Room to Grow is always looking for donations of new or gently used baby items. For more information about Room to Grow, and how to donate, be sure to check out their website. Perfecting Expecting is eager to help spread the word about their cause and to update you on future Room to Grow events. Here is the flyer for the next event:

Whether you are expecting your baby, just had a baby, or know someone having a baby, you are aware of at least one thing: you don’t go home from the hospital with a “how to” guide. Unless, of course, you call the Newborn Nurses. 

These wonderfully talented women are your how-to guides. Whether you need them for two hours or two months, they will be at your home helping you learn how to feed, swaddle, and care for your baby, and get some sleep while doing so. Women are raving about the help they were able to receive from this wonder team…everything from phenomenal lactation assistance to relief from pure sleep deprivation.

Carole, the lovely founder of Newborn Nurses, is a licensed registered nurse who has worked in the top birthing hospitals in Massachusetts. She can be seen and heard on websites, and around town, offering fabulous advice that seems effortless. And now, she and her team are ready to work for you!

Introducing our FAVORITE maternity tees: DiscoBelly. These funky tees are brought to you (and us!) by the fabulously creative Dan and Becky of our own home state of Massachusetts.

We can’t express how cute these shirts are when you put them on. Unlike many maternity tops, this one does not drape, hang, or “tent,” thereby creating a silhouette twice as big as your baby bump. No, it simply glides along your natural shape, making you feel like you can dress up that pair of maternity jeans and strut your stuff. We have yet to find another tee that can be as cute in yoga class as it is on Newbury, and still feel like your favorite worn-out and overwashed t-shirt in terms of comfort.

With names like, “graceful goldfish” and “pretty scatter” you know you are putting something special on. Contact us to receive a discount on your new, fabulous DiscoBelly!
