Picking out the right gear and accessories for your little bundle-to-be can be quite the daunting task. This week we’ve set out to help get you started, picking a few fabulous must-have items<\/strong> perfect for your lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Today we visit our first mama lifestyle, the {budget mama}<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Being a budget mama doesn’t mean you want to sacrifice design style and function for price. Also – it’s important to get the VALUE<\/em> out of each piece you choose to buy. Just because it’s cheap, doesn’t mean it’s a good value. That said, here are a few of my favorite finds for mamas on a budget<\/strong> with lots of style savvy<\/strong> to spare!<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> Joovy Scooter Stroller<\/a> ($159.99) check out the double version here<\/a>.<\/em>\u00a02.<\/strong> Aden + Anais<\/a>\u00a0bamboo swaddling blankets\u00a03-pk ($39.95). 3.<\/strong> Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier<\/a> ($48.24) all organic & cheaper than a Moby wrap! <\/em>4.<\/strong> Carter’s Bodysuits Multi-packs<\/a> (from $20.79) *you can often find these on sale<\/em>. 5.<\/strong> Circo Washcloths 6-pk<\/a> ($4.99) 6.<\/strong> Crane Drop Humidifier<\/a> ($49.99) *available in LOTS of colors.<\/em> 7. <\/strong>Storkcraft ‘Sheffield’<\/a>\u00a0Crib + mattress ($137).<\/p>\n
