Totally Pregnant Services - The Newest Pregnancy App

I found this new Totally Pregnant Services App and think it looks good. I don't work for the company but am interested in new apps for families. I see a lot of them but this looks more professional than many of the others.  The question still remains the same for me. Do we really need an app for everything?  Also, where do they get their information and money to create the app?

I will keep looking into these apps to see just how much commercialism is involved. I get a little tired of the spammy, scammy family sites, apps and everything in-between. Yes, this blog was started because our company was started from a tradition and we have many opportunities that come our way that I want to share but I still think that the MOMS business has become too impersonal and much less authentic than it used to be.

 

Social Baby Naming With Baby Ballot

Choosing the right name for your baby can be a tricky thing. You want a name that’s unconventional, but not peculiar. You want a name that’s traditional, but not completely out of fashion. You want something that resonates, goes well with the last name, and appeals to both your friends and your family. Parents have their own personal motivations when it comes down to naming a child. Some of them prefer Biblical names, some love the names of The Sixties, and sometimes it’s as simple as liking names starting with J.

While there have been thousands of books written about baby names, and you can currently browse almost as many websites offering various lists, all of these resources only offer plain information about origins, meanings, pronunciation, etymology, and other facts that are interesting to read, but in their great passivity are unable to help with the final decision.

Belly Ballot, a social media baby naming website, makes baby naming fun. Social baby naming is a new, truly amazing phenomenon that opens the door to a more interactive, creative and fun way to find the perfect name for your child. People around you, your friends and family, they are all given the chance to be a part of the decision process. Social baby naming has many advantages compared to relying on a book or a typical name webpage. It is easily accessible to anyone with an Internet connection, via Facebook, Twitter or Instagram; it integrates voices from all over the world, be it your family living in Europe or a complete a complete stranger from Australia; and it generates new names and new ideas you would originally never think of yourself.

On top of all the fun interacting with your social media friends, there’s always a chance for the soon-to-be moms to win a prize. The latest, most exciting prize that women on Belly Ballot went crazy about was a Juju Band. Thousands of moms searched through different baby names, created their ballots and according to their comments, they couldn’t wait to win this great helper to relieve the baby’s colic symptoms and abdominal pain. And it is that easy – all you need to do is to create your ballot, get the most votes, and the prize is yours!

 

Congratulations to the Juju Band Belly Ballot Winner!

Juju Band Welcomes Baby Nautique

 

Baby Nautique is an online nautical baby boutique, featuring affordably priced higher end baby clothing, accessories and nursery décor. Although we most definitely consider ourselves a nautical-themed boutique, not all of our items necessarily have sailboats, fish or
crabs on them. Many simply have classic Breton red or blue stripes and have that
sailor-type feel to them, but aren’t overtly nautical. We pride ourselves on featuring
high quality, timeless pieces – and all are perfect for the holidays!

Growing up in a waterfront community on Long Island, I have always loved the
beach, boating and everything with a nautical flair. So when my husband and I
found out in April of 2012 that the little baby I was carrying was a BOY, I knew
immediately that I wanted the theme for his nursery to be classic nautical with a
modern twist. While I searched high and low for beautiful, quality products for my
seafaring baby boy, it dawned on me that there wasn't just one singular place I could
go to for all of my water-themed baby needs. Right around the time my handsome
little man turned one year old in 2013, I knew it was time to take the plunge into the
world of baby fashion and create a one-stop shop for moms who want to spoil their
nautical baby with quality affordable items. Baby Nautique was born.

As of now, we carry baby clothing, accessories and décor. We have the most darling dresses, rompers, sweaters, socks and more! Our nursery items are especially affordable. Check out our five-pack of nautical muslin cloths, which can be used as burp cloths, swaddling blankets, changing mats and more - for only $29! This is a truly excellent find. We hope that once we really establish ourselves in the industry, we might expand to a line of nautical toys, nightwear and more.

What separates Baby Nautique from other boutiques is our nautical flair, as well as our nursery décor collection. No other baby boutique that we know of carries exclusively nautical-themed clothing, accessories and nursery décor. Our products are elegant yet perfect for the tiniest of tots. We also offer 24 hour/seven days a week service. Even if you email us on a Sunday evening, I assure you that we will answer any questions that you have before the next morning.

Happy shopping and happy sailing!
