Cara’s Registry Picks
It’s always sweet to learn on of our featured Modern Moms is expecting – again. Modern Mom Cara has an eye for design with just enough whimsy. We asked her to share some of second baby must-haves, so if you’re a first time mama, please do take notes from this seasoned, stylish mom.
Cara’s Short List.
1} Hooter Hiders Nursing Cover: If you’re breastfeeding, the Hooter Hiders nursing cover is great. It’s really easy to nurse under, and much better than trying to cover yourself up with a blanket, jacket or scarf while in public. It won’t fall down since it has a strap that goes around your neck. Functional, and so many cute patterns to choose from.
2} Diaper Bag – Petunia Pickle Bottom Clutch: A twist on the classic clutch! The Petunia Pickle Bottom clutch includes spacious pockets, a snap-out changing pad and wipe case. When I didn’t feel like lugging around my diaper bag, I would use this instead. Perfect for going out on a short trip or when going out to dinner with the babes. Since it doesn’t look like a diaper bag, you can use it as a purse too!
3} Crib & Bedding Bratt Decor Venetian Crib + Belle Notte Linens: I fell in love with the Bratt Decor Venetian Crib for obvious reasons. It’s just beautiful! The bedding I wanted was by Belle Notte Linens, but would have cost more than the entire nursery! So, instead of registering for the bedding, I used it as inspiration. Since I’m crafty, I was able to sew a satin ruffled crib skirt, velvet bumpers and ruffled pillows.
4} Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier: When Soleil was an infant, she never wanted me to put her down. She didn’t like her swing and she wouldn’t sit happy anywhere. I probably created the little monster… being a first-time mom and wanting to hold her all the time. So, at first, I carried her in a sling and then my Baby Bjorn. I was able to do things around the house while keeping us both happy. My husband could also use it whenever we went out shopping or walking. I highly recommend a carrier of some sort.
