Baby Bash And Bling Expo – A Celebration Event For Moms

Being a mom is one of life’s greatest blessings! But it can also be overwhelming, especially as a new or expectant mom. There are so many things to think about, products to choose from, and just overall, an abundance of options when it comes to bringing a new baby into the world. When I think back to my first pregnancy eight years ago, there weren’t a lot of events that catered to who I was and what I needed at the time.

This is why I am super excited about this upcoming Saturday, where I will be co-hosting the Baby Bash & Bling Expo right here in Washington, DC — a fabulous concept that embraces glam and mommyhood under one umbrella. What better way to ease into motherhood, than to be surrounded with a room full of other women who are doing the same? This is more than just another event. It will be THE destination for expecting moms and new moms all over the metropolitan DC area, where chic bumps will gather to laugh, chat and get pampered.

I’ll be co-hosting the event along with Monica Byrd (the FLY mom and brain child behind this fab event, as well as the Haute Mama Haute Experience I co-hosted last year), Markette Sheppard, TV Host of Great Day Washington, Beauty Maven and Entrepreneur of Messenger Beauty. Markette has also been seen on NBC’s TODAY show, Live! with Kelly & Michael and VH1’s ‘Buzz’. Joining us is the amazing Riche Holmes Grant (whom I first met over the summer at Weekend Startup School), Creator of Smart + Stylish Baby and Mommy Gear – BambiniWare, Martha Stewart American Made Brand Partner, Designer + Martha Stewart Contributor.
