Favorite Find Friday: Bra-lets

Want a good deal? Of COURSE you want a good deal.

Should you hide the girls from prying eyes? Of COURSE your should you hide them from prying eyes.

Are you breastfeeding and need easy access to the girls? Ok, you may or may not be breastfeeding, but if you are these can help.

This is what I'm talking about:

I call them Bra-lets. Why? I don't exactly remember right now. They are half bra, sorta tank top and all sorts of wonderful. They are perfect for layering without adding a ton of bulk to the midsection (cause we all just loooooooove extra bulk in the midsection, right?).

They are designed to be a sports bra in and of themselves, but I choose to buy them a bit big and wear them over my regular bra as a kind of camisole when wearing deep V or flashing tops (you know the kind...where you lean too far forward and the world gets a show) to keep my modesty intact. With 2 littles running around I can't always stand in my perfect model pose. I'm usually crouched down wrestling the squirmy crying 2 month old into the car seat, hiking up my jeans and blowing my hair off my face and telling Bubbalu to JUST HANG ON! JUST ONE MORE MOMENT!! all at the same time.

Leaving the house is a chore y'all. It takes about two hours. Seriously. Just typing that makes me shake my head in disgust. TWO HOURS. Why why WHY did I schedule their pediatric appointments for 8 in the morning 1/2 an hour away? Because I'm all sorts of crazy, that's why.

Anyways, back to the bra-lets.

You can buy a 3-pack for only $9.88. That's a deal folks, a REAL deal.

Also? They come in multiple color packs and different styles as well....

Pinks:



Crisscross in Blues:



Racerback in pink, grey and white:



Crisscross in Black, White and Red:



And where to find these multiple colored and styled wonderful low priced bra-lets? Why, do you even have to ask?

DUH.

Have a wonderful weekend...

Just Keep Swimming...

Hi Mommy, thanks again for the cute swim outfit that I get to wear all year long. I enjoyed using it all summer and early fall, and am thrilled to keep it at Grandpa and Grandma's house so we can play in the (cooled down) hot tub whenever we come and visit.



However, have you ever heard of a little thing called a swim diaper? You really should look into getting them, cause I just peed on the floor.

Tomato Milk...

For all you breastfeeding Mamas out there, have you ever had to severely restrict your diet or eliminate a certain food because it caused issues?

I know breastmilk is often 'flavored' from the foods you eat, ex. garlic, and is seen as an introduction of sorts for the baby to get used to the normal diet of the family. Neat huh?

However, I have noticed with Lil Chick (Bubbalu had this too) that whenever I eat a tomato based sauce she is extra fussy and has a hard time settling down for her naps and bedtime. So I've been trying to remember to back off on tomato.

Here is a neat link with a Q & A about foods nursing mothers should and should not eat, with scientific (evidence based) answers. They even addressed my tomato issue:

Can acidic foods that mom eats be "too acid" for baby?

No. Acidic foods like citrus, tomatoes, etc. can not change the acidity of breastmilk.

And I understand that, but it doesn't hurt me to avoid something that may or may not be causing Lil Chick some distress.

So, being the good Mom that I am, I was all confused why Lil Chick was SO unsettled Monday evening...until I remember I ate an ENTIRE can of Tomato soup for lunch...

DOH!
