This year the holidays really crept up on me! I’ve been so busy with writing the blog, attending events and spending time with my husband and son that I somehow lost a whole week! Talk about total mommy-brain. I honestly thought there was an extra weekend before Thanksgiving and that I would get everything on my do-list completed. But then I was reminded by my brother-in-law who texted me last week talking about our plans for Thanksgiving dinner. Life is just speeding by! I promptly reevaluated my schedule and luckily got back on course. This means holiday shopping moves to the top of my list, because I always get started the weekend after Thanksgiving- hello Black Friday!
If you know any moms-to-be or need some help giving others ideas of what to get you, here’s a quick snapshot of some of my favorite holiday pieces (look for a full gift-guide for moms-to-be later this week.) A fun novel maternity sweater, Secret Fit Belly® jeans, diaper bags and special gifts for baby can make for the perfect present or a quick pick up this weekend (and for all season long.)
We have an exciting holiday assortment at Destination Maternity PLUS some really appealing offers. You need to check out our store giveaway. There is nothing more sweet than receiving a FREE Simple Sugars Scrub with purchase! I hope you enjoy spending time with your loved ones this weekend AND are able to get started on your holiday shopping list. Best wishes to you and good luck! -Olivia

Hi Olivia! Any ideas on giving the news about a new baby on the way on Thanksgiving ? Thanks!!

Congrats Sandra! Delivering the news to family and friends is so exciting, and on Thanksgiving its absolutely perfect! I’d suggest, maybe bringing a dessert, perhaps cupcakes( this is how I announced) with a cute decoration on them or with both pink and blue icing. Or you might gift a holiday ornament if you have time to pick that is. Many malls have kiosks that have cute ‘preggers’ ornaments. Lastly you could wear a cute teeshirt announcing the news. Motherhood has the cutest saying tees like ‘baby love’ , or ‘Tis the season to be pregnant’.
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving and fun announcing your news! -xo Olivia
