Last Thursday, Mommybites held an expectant mom event held at COCO-MAT<\/a> on Mercer Street.\u00a0 The party was generously sponsored by Motorola<\/a>, so over 30 expectant moms were able to come and enjoy the evening at no cost!<\/p>\n

Rebecca (of Mommybites) and I ran the event, and when we walked into COCO-MAT we were floored by how beautiful the store was. The front area was a display of their mattresses and then as we moved towards the back, candles were lit everywhere. There was an open island kitchen, comfy couches and chairs and a whole display of baby furniture – including cribs, organic crib mattresses, and changing tables.<\/p>\n

Apparently, COCO-MAT not only sells high quality organic mattresses, but the people who work there are also great cooks! They had a delicious array of little appetizers waiting for us, including cheese and crackers, roasted eggplant bites and chocolate covered figs – all homemade!<\/p>\n

At 7:00 p.m., the moms-to-be started arriving. They mingled, ate, checked out the Motorola baby monitors, and settled into the comfy seats to hear the experts.<\/p>\n

First, we had Jennifer Link<\/a> of Sweet Pea Baby Planners<\/a> talk about products essential to have as new moms, and then Sharon Tepper<\/a> of Brownstone Nannies<\/a> offered tips on finding and hiring a nanny. Motorola<\/a> donated five baby monitors, which were raffled off to five lucky winners, and everyone left with gifts. Karen Haberberg<\/a> photographed the event and even donated a one-hour photo session to one lucky mom-to-be.<\/p>\n

The event was a huge success and a wonderful time was had by all!<\/p>\n
