Let’s face it, Nursing can be an extremely frustrating time, especially the first few weeks. {All the soreness and never having a moments peace is worth it in the long run of course.} My negative this time around with breast feeding is the non-existent feeling of beauty or style due to do wearing the same clothes over and over again, even to bed, just to be comfortable enough to feed baby ever other hour! Thank goodness for my new, super cute nursing PJs!

This picture is the actual set I have, YES, it’s a nursing top! 5 Minutes Apart offers some of the best survival products for your nursing woes! Purchasing a great nursing sleepwear set is a must; I live in my PJs when I’m home.

This set is perfect, the cardigan top covers while burping or while you run out to get the mail or greet your visitors.

I am always looking for clothing that is “different” for my girls. Designs and fashions that are comfortable, stylish, unique and really make any girl standout in the crowd. I got exactly what I was looking for with Denise DeMarchis’s Matilda Jane clothing line!

Denise basically started “designing” clothing as a young, adventurous fifth grader. To this day Denise still loves what she does and is committed to the unique clothing combinations she envisions and creates with the support of her children and husband.

What makes Matilda Jane unique is their use of colorful fabrics and trendy styles. Each item my youngest daughter wore was truly eye-popping. The different patterns and colors used to make the clothing help to create an almost mosaic-like garment. The small details, like flower shaped buttons, add to the uniqueness of the line.

The fabrics are remarkably soft and durable. One of the outfits my 2 year old wore survived a full morning of park activities with no complaints. Each item is sized perfectly too. There were no droops, sags, nor the ever-dreaded peeking belly from a top that continues to rise in the front.

This stylish line is great for any mom who likes for her children to be a little different; and it’s not only for the girls! Matilda Jane also has a limited time boys selection; Mighty Acorns! AND, a women’s collection as well! I cannot wait to see more from Matilda Jane!

You could be a winner of a piece of Matilda Jane’s women’s collection in our Mother’s Day giveaway!
