The Peanut Shell Hospital Gown Review and #GIVEAWAY @peanutshell

Let's talk about those absolutely hideous Hospital Gowns that we are forced to wear while at the hospital! U-G-L-Y!

 That is one thing I am really dreading again as my due date gets closer.

I came across a great company that offers Hospital Gowns and much more. 

Disclosure: 

you are about to read a product review. 

I received the product{s} reviewed free of charge in 

exchange for my honest opinion.

The Peanut Shell offers stylish Hospital Gowns, Nursing Covers, Shopping Cart Covers, and Baby Slings in beautiful patterns. 

Party of 5 was sent The Peanut Shell Hospital Gown in the Dahlia print to review. 

All of The Peanut Shells Hospital Gowns feature

Diagonal snap closure for easy breastfeeding access

Snaps down the side for maximum coverage

Adjustable arm ties for comfort

Flattering, non- restrictive neckline

The arm ties are a great feature since not everyone has the same size arms. This way your arms are not so restricted with movement. 

The Dahlia Gown has a beautiful floral pattern that features lavender, purple and sage green all on a beige background.

The snaps are a nice opalescence instead of those boring plain old metal snaps. 

The Peanut Shell Hospital Gowns come in 2 sizes S/M and L/Xl. I chose to receive the L/XL since I have a larger bust and a thicker waist :)  It fits very nicely and I can imagine that after delivering BG via C-section it will be one of the most comfortable things I can put on.

The Hospital Gowns come in 4 great patterns and can be machine washed in cold and tumbled dry on low. 

BUY IT: You can purchase The Peanut Shell Hospital Gown for $59.99 HERE

WIN IT: ONE Lucky Party of 5 reader is going to win a Hospital Gown of their choice in size of choice!!

Monster Jam Review #PathofDestruction @MonsterJamNJNY

Over the weekend Party of 5 had the opportunity to attend Monster Jam Path of Destruction at Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.

Hubs and my son are HUGE monster truck fans so we try to go as often as we can , This year we brought along my Brother in Law and cousin.



The weather was perfect although a tad hot in the direct sun, especially for this preggo!

We hit up the Pit Party before the show and were so excited to see that the boys could get drivers autographs! My son LOVES Max D but the line for his autograph was super long. We did however get Adam Anderson Grave Digger The Legend's autograph along with Scooby Doo, Super Man, Bat Man, Mohawk Warrior and others!
There is so much for kids to do during the Pit Party you will not be bored for one second!

After the Pit Party we headed back to our car to grab a bite to eat and relax a bit before the show.

Some of our favorite drivers include MaX D, Grave Digger, Grave Digger The Legend, Son uva Digger  and Madusa!

Monster Jam Path of Destruction Tickets are still on sale for other areas! Check out the list for ticket sales in your area!

Tom Meents then brought a specially designed Max-D back to the Big Apple area to again look for the perfectly landed double back flip. While it would not happen on this night the crowd was roaring at Max-D’s attempt and Meents vowed to the fans that he would continue to work toward landing the one-of-a-kind move “perfectly” in the future

Party of 5 HIGHLY recommends if you have the chance to go see Monster Jam that you do! It's a great outing with the entire family!

timi & leslie Review & #GIVEAWAY @timiandleslie

                                



Being a super busy Mom I have been on the hunt for a stylish diaper bag that will also function as a purse for myself.  I found all of that in timi & leslie bags

A specially designed changing pad with a front mesh pocket

A zippered sac to put soiled clothes in

A stylish clutch that you can use as a purse with interior credit card slots and a zippered pocket

An insulated bottle tote

Matching stroller straps so you can hang your bag from your stroller

Since BG isn't here yet I have been using my timi & leslie Abby bag as a purse for me! I can easily fit everything I need in here. My Erin Condren planner, my Nikon D3100, wallet, and all of my other necessities. I can't wait to use it as a diaper bag for BG when she arrives. 

This key fob has been a huge lifesaver for me. Normally I toss my keys in my bag and then go nuts looking for them later, but now I just clip the keys on and I always know where they are.
Seriously one of my favorite features.

Attachment is super easy and can be done in 3 simple steps:

The Shade comes in 4 colors: black, gray, red and pink

I of course chose pink for BG. It is a really nice light shade of pink

The Shade also folds up nicely and fits inside my diaper bag without taking up too much space. 

I also love the fact that The Shade is machine washable!! With kids you need everything to be able to go in the wash machine :)
