Style Solutions Before During and After Pregnancy

If you have been following along with New Momma Survival, you know that I only shop for affordable, comfortable and multi-use pieces. I have been working on building a wardrobe that I can wear for years, not just for one season. I have discovered an amazing brand that has the perfect investment pieces for mothers! Mayarya is a women’s clothing boutique that specializes in pieces that are bump-friendly, but not bump-only. Founded by a mother looking for pieces that were multi-functional, Reika Kato Shetty has provded style solutions before during and after pregnancy! We plan to try for another baby in the next couple of years, so investing in some items that I can wear now and when I am pregnant is smart for both my wallet and my closet space.

Everything I ordered was so incredibly comfortable, yet stylish and modern. I felt so put together with little effort.

I was given these pieces for review. All opinions are my own. To read my full disclosure click here.

This Dotted Print Bow dress is perfect for a date night or any upcoming holiday parties. It was flattering, yet loose around the tummy. (Things I always look for in a dress, because I like to eat and I don’t want to worry about my little food baby showing at a party!)

The empire waist will be perfect for a growing baby bump someday and the just-above the knee length is my favorite. (Especially when you have to bend down to pick up kiddos!)

The bow detail and flowy sheer sleeves is just right up my alley. With buttons down the front, this dress would be great for nursing mothers as well!

My Cocoon Coat is also from Mayraya, and worked perfectly with this dress. I love how soft this coat is! I have gotten compliments on it every time I wear it.

For a recent girls night out, I paired the Daikanyama skirt with the Galle top. I tied the shirt in the front to add some definition to my waist. The best part…. this skirt is water-resistant! How perfect is this!?  Shrug off spills, stains and sticky fingers, momma.

Mayayra offers free shipping and easy returns, so shopping online is a breeze.

On their website they have these icons to show if the piece is nursing friendly, maternity friendly, and if you are not expecting.

When I was pregnant six years ago, there were not many maternity options that I knew of. I shopped mostly at Target, that had few options, and occasionally at maternity stores in the mall, which were a far drive for me. So guess what? I lived in leggings. Yep. I was that pregnant lady that just wore leggings almost every day for 9 months, then probably 3 or 4 months after having my son.

I did NOT feel great about the way I looked. I never let my boyfriend take my photo while I was pregnant, which I really regret now. And I just didn’t feel happy or “glowing” like I thought I would. I was afraid of wearing certain clothes because I thought I had to “dress like a Mom”… whatever that even means!

Where what you want, when you want! If wearing leggings every day makes you feel good, do it! If you feel more put together wearing a dress and heels, go for it!

    Haha, I love that I’m not the only person who plans her outfits around whether I will be eating a lot at a social outing! I’ve never been pregnant, but those food babies are a real fashion struggle sometimes!

    Long maxi dresses were my go
    To during pregnancy. I was able to wear them before and after baby and saved a lot of money since I never had to buy maternity clothes.

It's been a good hot Summer's day. Keeping the ho It's been a good hot Summer's day. 
Keeping the house stocked with popsicles, watermelon, huckleberry pop, and all the hot dogs and brats to throw on the grill for quick lunches. 
So thankful Summer is finally here and that I get to enjoy it with my boys 💙

Poor Liam missed the last two days of his Summer camp this week. 😩 He missed out on the sleepover, whitewater rafting, and a campfire. He's just sad he didn't get to thank or say goodbye to his counselors & friends. He doesn't have it too bad at all but didn't want to get his friends sick, of course. 
We also finally had beautiful Summer weather this week, and I was stuck inside everyday trying to fight this 🦠 

Baby Theo is in the thick of it now, and  gosh is he a tough little guy. Nights are the worst and I feel helpless when he can't breathe through his nose at all or catch his breath from coughing. 
😩
Taking care of a sick family while barely able to lift my own head was not fun. I'm doing MUCH better today so I can properly take care of the boys . Being a mother while sick is truly one of the hardest things, isn't it ?? Every time I'm super sick like this, I think about how I wish my own mother was here to take care of me 😆 

I have a natural chest rub for baby Theo and EO going in the diffusers. We're taking warm baths every day... any other suggestions on what I could do to help ease his congestion and cough ??

Today I surprised my son with a mint & citrus foot soak after a long day at Summer camp. 
I've been under the weather the last couple of days so I needed a rejuvenating foot soak out on the porch, too. 
Foot soaks have been a nice calming ritual my son and I have done together since he was a toddler. Hot foot soaks on cold Winter evenings and cooling foot soaks at the end of a hot Summers day are a good excuse to sit down together and just relax. We use different herbs and fruits for the changing seasons. The citrus and fresh mint in this foot soak is cooling and refreshing. 

To make: 

Fill a large bowl with lukewarm water and add slices of grapefruit, lemon, and lime. Sprinkle in some fresh mint leaves and 1/2 C to 1 C of epsom salts. 

Mint has a nice cooling effect on the feet and helps to sooth sore muscles, aches and pains.
