Our New Website

Recently, Xpecting has gone through some major changes in regards to our website. We made the difficult decision to end our online shopping cart. We want to focus all of our attention to our in-store customers so we will no longer be selling our merchandise online. On our revamped website, you can find useful information such as upcoming events, services we offer, featured products, brands we carry, and more. By browsing our website, we want our customers to get a good feel of what they can expect when coming to our store.

Although we no longer have online shopping, you can still call us to make a purchase. We are constantly posting new items on our Facebook and Featured Products page of our website. Enjoy!

Favorite Web Finds

Here is another round of our Favorite Web Finds. Enjoy!

We love how true this is. Right when I get home, I let my hair down, throw on my sweats, and take off my make-up. All I can hope for is if a cute guy doesn’t knock on my door.

We love how perfect this would be for movie night. Throw in a bunch of pillows and some fluffy blankets and we won’t ever have to pay $15 for a theater ticket ever again

tvroom

We love how comforting this bowl of soup looks. Have you noticed what deliciousness lies on top of the soup? Yep, you’re right…grilled cheese croutons! My stomach is grumbling as I type this…

We love this gift wrapping idea. Go to your local AAA and ask for some maps. So simple and cheap.

We love this combination of bracelets. Tory Burch, Hermes, Cartier, oh my!

braceletsWe love how insanely adorable this is. Leg warmers for your little girl? Too cute!

We love dreaming of cooking in this kitchen. The white cabinets, eating area, huge window, big utility size sink, and all the natural sunlight. A girl can only dream.

We love the rustic look of these crates. This would be a great addition to an office or living room.

Favorite Web Finds

Here is another round of our favorite finds around the internet. Enjoy!

We love a big bowl of hearty soup on a cold day. This soup has turkey sausage, cannellini beans, and kale. The best part? It’s made in a slow cooker! Set it and forget it.

We love this family picture. The kid on the very right says it all…

We love this portable snack tray for a kids car seat. This will keep your kids occupied on long car rides. It even has a holder for their sippy cups.

snacktray

We love how simple this idea is. It’s one of those why-didn’t-I-think-of-this things. Buy a command hook and stick it to the back of your baby’s high chair. Hang clean bibs from the hook and you’ll have them at your disposal when needed.

bibhook

We love simple recipes that can be used throughout the week. Roast one whole chicken at the beginning of the week and use it in recipes for the rest of the week. Make enchiladas, tacos, chicken salad, and more. You can even use the bones to make chicken stock for some soup. Have a big family? Roast two chickens! Affordable and easy.

roastchicken

We love this closet turned reading room. As stated in our last Favorite Web Finds post, we love reading nooks. Take the doors off a closet and put a mattress in there to turn into a fort for your kids, reading room, and even a guest bed if space is tight.

readingnook

We love the idea of Paris. With the snow on the ground and the Eiffel Tower in the distance, we can’t help but wish we were there right now

Paris

We love to indulge once in a while. Banana boat s’mores? Yes please! Cut your banana in half, not all the way thru, stuff it with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and cinnamon toast crunch. Throw it in the oven for 5-6 minutes and VOILA! You have yourself a semi-healthy after-dinner treat

Great Gift Items for Pregnant Girl

We’ve put together a great post featuring some gift items for both Pregnant Girl and baby.

2 Chix does some cute novelty tee’s that are fun for Pregnant Girl to wear. They do cute sayings such as What’s Kicking (available in gender neutral, blue, and pink footprint), Tickled Pink, Oh Boy, Knocked Up, Does This Baby Make My Butt Look Big?, and My Pod Has Two Peas. This is a great gift to give to Pregnant Girl when she finds out she’s expecting.

Almost every baby we know has this Sophie The Giraffe teething toy.  She is a must-have accessory for every baby while they are teething.  She is made from natural rubber and food paint, so she is safe to chew. Her shape is easy for baby’s hands to grasp and she makes a delightful squeak when her tummy or head are squeezed.

Help make Pregnant Girl’s stay at the hospital a bit more stylish with the Dear Johnnies hospital gown.  This gown buttons down the back and at the shoulders to make it more nursing friendly. She will surely appreciate the soft fabric and loose fitting design as her body heals.

We have been going ga-ga over our new line Aden + Anais. This hooded towel and washcloth will make bath time more fun for baby. The four-layer washcloth gets softer after each wash, making it extra gentle on baby’s delicate skin.  Aden + Anais also do a line of swaddle blankets and burpy bibs, available in different patterns.

We all know Little Giraffe for making the softest must have baby blankets, loveys and towels.  These are the ultimate indulgence for your little one or they make the ideal baby gift.  Don’t miss out on their brand new product, Little G, the stuffed animal that Perez Hilton called the must have gift item this year.

Tell us Pregnant Girl, what is the best baby gift you have received?  What are you swooning over and hoping somebody surprises you with?
