Created in March 2007, momtreal.ca is written, developed and designed by Valerie Maynard. Upon completing her studies in fine arts and illustration & design, she became pregnant with her first daughter. After the birth of her second daughter in August 2006 she wanted to compile all the resources she had collected throughout her journey into parenthood. Thus momtreal was born and now it serves as a one-stop source for cool ideas and resources for families in Montreal and beyond!

 

UPDATE!! Valerie is proud to announce the birth of her 3rd child, a boy, born July 7th 2008!!

bellaband.jpgWith my first pregnancy I couldn’t have been more excited to get into some of the super cute maternity styles. Even though I didn’t even need it yet I eagerly purchased tons of elastic topped pants and cute maternity tops to welcome my new emerging figure.

Fast-forward a couple of pregnancies and now the last thing I want is to step in to another boutique with a salesgirl asking me if I know how the sizing works. Here is where the Bella Band comes in; this simple piece of fabric can extend the life of your pre-pregnancy jeans by wearing it over unbuttoned clothes that are now just too tight. The Band will also keep your pants up when maternity clothes are a must but still a bit loose. Even post-partum you will find the Bella Band does an excellent job helping you get back into your old jeans and feeling like the old you. I can’t say more good things about this product, it looks and makes me feel great and during pregnancy, which means a lot. The Bella Band is available in selected boutiques around town and online visit ingridandisabel.com for shopping info.
