Are you a Leading Lady?

More than ten months ago my beautiful baby girl was born. She started breastfeeding that day and we're still going strong. What this meant for me, other than spending pretty much 24/7 with my child, is the need for new bras. Nursing bras to be exact. I went to the maternity store and got all measured and purchased a new bra. And honestly, I HATE that bra! It slips off my shoulders no matter how I try to adjust it. It gives no support! I may as well embrace my inner hippie roots and burn the dang thing! Fortunately for me, I was contacted by a representative for Leading Lady, the place to go for nursing bras apparently. I had never heard of them before, but I'm sure glad I have now.

Here's a little bit of information on Leading Lady straight from the company:

Leading Lady is a premiere intimate apparel company dedicated to creating comfortably functional, remarkably affordable, stylish and easy-to-wear bras, camis and sleepwear. A family owned and operated business, Leading Lady has been expertly tailoring nursing and full figure bras for top brands and retailers across North America for more than 70 years. For the first time, Leading Lady’s comprehensive line of nursing and full figure intimates – including sexy stretch lace wire-free and underwire bras, supportive and seamless sport and yoga bras, and cozy sleep and leisure bras – can be purchased directly on LeadingLady.com.

Leading Lady is proud to celebrate “Leading Ladies” everywhere through its products, programs and philanthropic activities. Leading Lady is dedicated to arming new moms with the support – physically, intellectually and emotionally – they need to nurture their babies through breastfeeding and committed to supporting a variety of organizations and issues relevant to women across the country. Follow Leading Lady on Facebook and Twitter.


I really do enjoy the two bras I received. The first is the Sport Wirefree Nursing Bra. I probably wear this one more than any other. This is the one pictured above. It's very comfortable! It features cushion straps, lightly molded cups, quick one-handed clasp for easy nursing (yes!), inner sling for support and an adjustable back to help you get the right fit. It's great for being active or just lounging around. I would definitely recommend this bra! It gives you the support you need for exercise without the unsightly "uniboob!"

The next bra I had the pleasure of testing out is the Molded Seamless Underwire Nursing Bra. This is a great bra for when you're getting a little dressed up. It's not uncomfortable or anything, but it's not as casual as the Sport Wirefree Nursing Bra. It's seamless style is just what you're looking for under your pretty clothes and it also has the quick one-handed clasp for easy nursing, plus it has the underwire for added support.

Both bras retail for $30 and are available on the Leading Lady website. You can also find Leading Lady products at JCPenny.com, GAP.com, Target.com and Walmart.com.

Leading Lady provided me with the above two mentioned bras in order to facilitate this review. No monetary compensation was received. Opinions expressed are my own. Quotes in review come from Leading Lady.

Progresso Souper You Contest *giveaway*

With the start of the new year just a few weeks ago, many made resolutions to be healthier. Eating healthier is easier, for me at least, with Progresso soups. I quite literally have my cupboard stocked with dozens of cans of Progresso soup. It's affordable, especially this time of year when it seems to be on sale often, comforting and delicious! They have 40 varieties of soup with 100 calories or less per serving. Awesome, right? And if you're like me and eat the whole can you're still not eating a million and a half calories. Especially if that's your whole meal.
