Dear Friends,

As some of you may know, the look of our store has changed over the past couple of weeks. The maternity retail section of my store has been scaled down a bit, but we continue to have a great selection of your favorite items and brands, including: Michael Stars, Belly Bandits, Bella Bands, maternity denim, and more.

I have told most of you that we were going to close our store completely, and sell our maternity and infant items on-line only. However, in conjunction with my family, we came up with a great idea.

Let me tell you about my family's business. If you are a native of Jacksonville, you may have heard of Solomon's. Solomon Ventures is a retail store that buys and sells freight salvage, insurance losses and bankruptcies from all over the nation. They have two locations where you can find name-brand products and other items at great savings. They add new merchandise every day, which keeps their inventory fresh. Plus, they have closeout pricing and bargain specials everyday.

My grandfather, George Solomon, opened Solomon's in 1944. My dad, Raymond, and my brother Kelly, have run Solomon's for the past few decades, and have even expanded the store greatly in recent years. If you have been there, then you know that every trip to Solomon's is different. You never know what great things you will find until you step into the store.

My dad thought it would be a good idea to expand his store even further by opening a location in San Marco! The front of the store is filled everyday with new items from Solomon Ventures! My remaining maternity inventory is in the back section of the store. Please stop by to say "Hi" the next time you are in San Marco!

Thank you, again, dear clients, customers and friends, for your continued support. The website continues to be updatecd regularly, so check back often!

I hope this finds you happy, healthy and well! See you soon!

To my dear customers and friends,

I am writing to share some details about a big transition that I am about to make. This decision has been so incredibly difficult to make, but I know this is the right direction to take for my family. While I know that this is the right decision, it still pains me to tell you that my store will be closing in March. Our final day will be Saturday, March 14, 2009. However, while my store will be closing in San Marco, I will be keeping the online website store open for business.

I am so thankful and so grateful to all of you, for coming in and shopping, for reading my emails, and telling your friends about us. Pregnancy and motherhood is such an exciting time, and I love being a part of each of your lives. Since 2006, I have really enjoyed watching you all go through your pregnancies, and helping to pick out gifts for your loved ones.

Since my online store, www.shoppematernity.com is remaining open, I encourage you all to stay in touch, and keep referring your friends and family to our on-line store. I will also be working with other stores in the community.

I thank you all for being part of one of the most exciting ventures of my life.

Best wishes to you, and big hugs to your children!

Kristin

Maternity Essesntials

Maternity Clothing Essentials

2-3 maternity/nursing bras. We like the Bravado Body Silk Seamless nursing bra

1 Bella Band in either black or white so that you can wear your non-maternity clothes longer or wear your larger maternity clothes sooner.

1-2 good pair of maternity jeans. It is worth it to invest in at least one good pair of jeans. They may be more expensive, but they will last your entire pregnancy and they will make you look and feel great! We love Paige, Juicy, Paper Denim, and Serfontaine

3-4 maternity tees. We love Michael Stars Maternitee's! They are one size and most can be worn after you have your baby and some can be used for nursing, too!

2-3 soft yoga type pants or leggings.

LBD! At least one Little Black Dress for date night with your husband!

Comfortable shoes, i.e., flip flops! You might need to get a pair that is about a half size bigger to allow for swelling of your feet. Also, don't be surprised if your feet grow bigger and don't get smaller after you have your baby!

Work wardrobe (if you still work) You don’t need a lot of suits now that your are pregnant. Your co-workers will likely be forgiving and more than understanding!

Comfort Essentials

Full length body pillow which will help you to sleep more comfortably. Don't forget that the safest way to sleep is on your left side!

Pregnancy wedge is nice for belly support when you are in bed

Preggie Pops or Preggie Drops for morning sickness. These are just great to keep around the house in case another member of the family gets a stomach bug!

Stretch mark cream or belly oil for itchy skin, which may occur as your belly expands. We love either Bella Mama oil or lotion or Mama Mio Tummy Rub/Lotions/Oils.

Prenatal vitamins as directed by your doctor

Folic acid is an important part of your diet. It is recommended that you take 600-800 mcg while pregnant.

Always talk to your doctor about any questions or concerns.

Belly Bandit

2008-10-26T03:06:00.000-07:00

We are so excited about the Belly Bandit! It arrived a couple of weeks ago, and the response has been amazing! Had the Belly Bandit been around when I had my kids, I'm sure I would have bought one and used it, too! Take it to the hospital with you and and after giving birth, it is safe to begin wearing it. Even if you have a C-Section, you are still good to go to wear it! Definately check with your doctor, but I'm sure he will approve! Not only will it help shrink your tummy faster, but it will support your back when breastfeeding. If you have used the Belly Bandit, let us know what your thoughts are on this great new product!!
