The Biggest Baby Shower

Big City Moms did it again! Founders and sisters, Risa Goldberg and Leslie Venokur teamed up with Fit Pregnancy to host their 13th annual event, The Biggest Baby Shower.

On Wednesday, May 9th Celebrity Moms Jessica Alba, Melissa Joan Hart, Tia Mowry, Daya Vaidya and Susan Lucci came together to meet and greet more than 1,000 Expectant and New Parents-to-Be! Over 100 of the best baby brands were showcased and given out to excited & adorable new moms to be. I have never seen so many cute baby bumps in one room. The energy was so strong and powerful. Go Moms!


Jessica Alba was joined by Christopher Gavigan from her Honest Company. 
All of the cute moms-to-be were excited to hear about her eco-friendly baby line.

I loved learning about what inspired them to start this eco-friendly line of products. 
The diapers are bio degradable and plant based.

The Honest Company also provides advanced plant-based cleaning and bath/body products.

How fashionable and on trend are these diapers! 
I can tell you that the wipes are so soft. The softest I have ever felt. 
I can't wait to order mine for Gwen & Chloe!
The gorgeous Jessica and me! I snapped a quick pic with my phone.

Liza Huber founder of Sage Spoonfuls demonstrated how to make all natural baby food.
It was so fascinating to see her make a baby meal in 30 seconds.
Liza is a mother of three and realizes that preparing meals needs to be quick, easy and healthy!
She provides her book, simple recipes and healthy meals.
She will teach you how to start your baby on solids as well as age specific meals.

She says, "By spending just 1 hour every 2 weeks, you can have a freezer stocked with healthy and delicious baby food, made from safe, natural ingredients."


Susan Lucci, her mother and an Emmy-Award winning actress from "All My Children", is very proud and supportive of Sage Spoonfuls!

Tia Mowry discussed her book Oh Baby! It hits stores May15th. 
She is the mother of a beautiful 10 month old boy. In her book she discusses all of the tales of pregnancy. From one hot mom to another!

She was so fun to talk to. She's already thinking about baby number two and wanted to talk about spacing. She is such an inspiration to moms everywhere. Wouldn't it be awesome if she had twins!

Project Nursery had quite the nursery set-up! If I have another baby this is the team to do it!


Little Pim
We currently have a babysitter that teaches our kids Spanish. I am shocked at how much they absorb from her. I have been wanting to add more to their routine. Little Pim is just what I need! Little Pim is a foreign language learning series.  
You can get apps, videos, music, books, and flash cards. I'm so glad I found Little Pim!

This BellyBandit is the perfect solution for post-pregnancy belly bumps. It's a compression wrap to help the uterus go down. It builds self confidence and helps your figure come back faster! 
I actually tried one on and I was surprised at how tight and pulled together I looked. 
Even after 1 year I can use the help!


I was really intrigued to learn about Bio Oil. My daughter fell down and was left with a scar on her face. I have tried everything on the market to help fade it. I was really impressed with Bio Oil. They gave me these instructions, massage the oil into the scar twice a day to get best results. The vitamin A and E will breakdown the scar tissue and create healing. Once stitches come out of an inured area you can apply Bio Oil. You can get this at any drugstore. It's great to have around for any skin irritation problems as well. A mother's go to oil!


The moms and dads feasted on sliders, veggies, and tons of treats! Mock-tails were served in almost every corner of the Metropolitan Pavilion. We were in food heaven!


How adorable are all of these treats! Sweet Creations have so many ideas for baby showers and gender reveal parties. 



One of my personal favorites is MAMS. I love their line of binky's bottles and tooth brush kits!
All of the moms in attendance walked away with the highly anticipated gift bags stocked with hundreds of dollars in baby essentials. Moms had the chance at winning strollers, car seats, high chairs, etc. This is definitely an event you will want to attend during your next pregnancy!

Thanks Big City Moms and Maletzky Media for a fabulous night! I learned so much about new products and even old products. Priceless information! It's an amazing event to meet and mingle with other moms going through the same stage of life. What a huge support system. I am thrilled that I had the chance to attend! Until next year!

Karyn Ravin, Leslie Venokur and Risa Goldberg
