I’m excited to feature some adorable handcrafted items for the modern mom and baby, straight from babydarling, a chic little Etsy shop.  The first thing to catch my eye at babydarling was the Pillowcase Dress.  Each dress is fully lined and features vintage style coordinating fabrics.  These dresses are a great investment for modern cuties; as your child grows, the dress becomes a shirt. Now, these were designed by one smart mama!  

Babydarling also offers stylish and classy nursing covers for the mommy on the go.  The adjustable strap and peek-a-boo space at the top allow you to nurse in public and still be discreet.  

Babydarling features chic and practical bib/burp sets.  These reversible bibs are handcrafted with sweet and sophisticated vintage fabrics. And they have a stylish pearl snap closure, so they won’t scratch or itch your budding eater. Fabrics are 100% cotton, machine-washable.  

Visit babydarling to see all this and more!  And be sure to check out their Summer Specials.  They are currently offering a SUMMER SALE on ready-to-ship pillowcases dresses.  

Babydarling has generously offered to give away a bib/burp set to one lucky turnitupmom reader.  To enter, please visit babydarling and tell us which bib/burp set fabric is your favorite.  Be sure to leave an email address where you may be reached.  

On Friday, July 24, one winner will be randomly selected by Random.org.  You must be a U.S. resident (18+) to enter.  Good LUCK!

Congratulations, #12, Xenia!  You are the babydarling winner!

After my daughter was born, my husband bought me a thermal long-sleeve that had “Peace Love Mom” emblazoned across the front.  Attached was a tag that read: “Motherhood does not define us.  We define it.”  Mmmm . . .I loved that message, so much so that it still sits atop my dresser.  On the hardest of days, it’s a gentle reminder that I have the power to define each moment with my child and to celebrate motherhood as a gift and an honor.  I am one lucky mom!  

PeaceLoveMom was started by a trio of women with a common goal- to celebrate motherhood.  This lifestyle brand company creates designs that empower and celebrate mothers everywhere.  

Naturally, I’ve added a few more to my collection.  I can’t help myself.  They are so cute and comfy, and I feel good when I wear them.  I want to shout, “I’m a happy mom!” from the mountaintops and share my smile with the world: 

Check out these sizzling summer tanks with a flattering neckline and a message that’s oh, so fun! 

PeaceLoveMom has generously offered one turnitupmom reader the chance to win a “Lucky Mom” tee, in mint green (size M).   These soft, jersey tees have a stylish cap sleeve, tapered waist, and vintage feel.  

While they are famous for their mom apparel, PeaceLoveMom offers kids apparel, baby items, notepads, accessories, and more!  

And now for the GIVEAWAY: Please visit PeaceLoveMom.  Then, come back and tell us which 2 products are your favorite AND one little thing that makes you a “lucky mom,” or (if you’re not a mom) just a lucky person, in general.  Be sure to leave an email address where you may be reached.  

On Sunday, July 19, one winner will be randomly selected by Random.org.  You must be a U.S. resident (18+) to enter.  Good LUCK!

Congratulations, #4, Tina!  You are the PeaceLoveMom winner!

One month after Liza was born, a friend invited me to her home for some girl bonding.  I didn’t really want to go; I couldn’t squeeze into anything cute or stylish, and I felt ugly.  Besides, how can you feel good with leaky boobs?  C’mon.  Honestly.

But this girls’ night was different than others.  I was encouraged to dress in comfy clothes.  Check.  And the Evite said, “Don’t wear makeup.”  Check.  It turns out that I had been invited to experience the spa, right in someone’s home.  What woman can pass up quality girl time while soaking her feet?  We exfoliated and moisturized with delicious mango and peppermint scents.  And all the while, we laughed, really laughed, about our hairy legs, creeping lines, and imperfections.  It was just what I needed.

The party was given by Sensaria Representative, ML Banino, who was attracted to the company 3 years ago: “It’s a way for mothers to find sanity.  Using high quality, naturally-based spa products provides a daily ritual that helps moms feel better.”  

We all deserve to feel beautiful and whole.  That’s why this month I am giving away Sensaria’s Beach Scent Bundle (pictured below), a $60 value.  And, it’s just in time for Mother’s Day!   All you need to do is send a comment before April 30 for a chance to win.  The winner will be randomly selected using Random.org.  Good luck!
