Our review of the MOPA Show 2014

It took a little while to write this post, but last month we went to the Modern Parenting show at the Hawthorne Country Club in Dartmouth, MA put on by Dennell Pepin, founder of MOPA (ModernParent).

This show was for new and expecting parents and even included brunch with your admission. When we arrived we were greeting and asked to fill out an entry form which entered us into the raffles they were holding for all of these great prizes (a deluxe crib, photography session, containers from The Container Store and others).

We were given a gift bag which contained a few advertisements along with some goodies. We had the chance to eat brunch from a buffet, walk around to the 10 or so exhibitors who had tables and we had the chance to shmooze and learn about items you should have on your baby registry (if you have one) and how to organize the nursery and decorate it easily.






We got to sample some great new products from Happy Family foods (we LOVE the yogurt minis as well as the cookies) and some great cupcakes from the Artisan Bake Shop. We also got some information from the Old Colony network of YMCA's about some membership specials they were running.




All in all this was a great way to spend a few hours of the day learning about some of the latest trends in the baby world. Dennell really has some great insight into what it means to be a parent in these modern times.

NOTE: We were given complimentary admission to the MOPA Show 2014. There was no guarantee of a positive review. However, we did enjoy ourselves (as you can see)!

Drool Baby Expo Recap

Last night, Emily and I attended the Drool Baby Expo! We arrived at 5:30 and the place was buzzing with excitement. We went to all of the tables and learned about the latest in baby gear and garb. We sampled Pinkberry yogurt, snacked on HappyBaby food, popchips and pretzel crisps while playing with some toys and checking out the strollers, car seats and endless amounts of toys!

We were excited by a few different items from Wean Green glass containers, Oxo Tot products, Haba toys and Sage Spoonfuls blender/processor product.  We talked with some great people and learned about so many things.

Stay tuned!
