Big City Moms, Big Year Ahead + Giveaway
The ladies behind Big City Moms, Risa Goldberg and Leslie Venokur are well-known in this industry for throwing the absolute biggest and best baby shower events in New York City. Lucky for expecting moms, they are taking their show on the road and will be heading to a few key locations this year. Best of all, Project Nursery gets to be a part of it. We’re thrilled to be teaming up with BCM to be bringing our design experts and nursery know-how to their events in 2012!
Big City Moms is kicking off their first shower of the year in Los Angeles on Tuesday, February 28th at The Skirball Center from 6:30-9:30pm. My Co-Founding partner Pam Ginocchio and I will be along side one of our favorite people, Andrika King of Andrika King Design to answer your burning nursery design questions. Our talented friends and Petit Nest Founders Lonni Paul and Tiffani Thiessien will be partnering with us once again to share another stunning nursery set. And lastly, Project Nursery wouldn’t be complete without showcasing a sweets display for your next baby shower or birthday party from Rebekah Dempsey, Creative Director and Party Stylist of A Blissful Nest. We have lots of good things in store and will be blogging more about our partners in the coming weeks.
Exciting guest speakers at the event include: Actress Jessica Alba and Christopher Gavigan, founders of The Honest Company, Dr. Alan Greene, pediatrician and father of four, Actress Ali Landry of Spokesmoms.com, “The Guncles” – Scout Masterson and Bill Horn, author and media personality Samantha Ettus, Wendy Haldeman of The Pump Station, Rachel Sarnoff of Healthy Child, Healthy World and Katie Vaughan of Westside Nannies.
Tickets are already sold out for Los Angeles and there is a wait list. But never fear, we have TWO golden tickets to for one wonderful Project Nursery fan. We’ll tell you how to enter below. And oh yes, every attendee walks away with some serious baby swag.

I would love to see what Born Free has currently. We are true Born Free Family – the only bottle my son took and we have new nipples for my daughter ready. He nursed until he was 18 months old and refused everything we tried. BF saved me – would love to meet them.

Would love to meet the people behind project nursery and big city moms for continously inspiring mommies including me to be the best mommies in the world, for constantly reminding us that being a mom is not just an ordinary task but a fulfilling responsibility. Lastly, i’d like to meet all of the sponsors and personally thank them for creating wonderful baby products that helps mommies fulfill their duties.

Would love and appreciate the chance to win tickets! A few (and only a few) of the sponsors I hope to meet are the folks from Project Nursery (one of my favorite sites), MAM, Skip Hop, Ella’s Kitchen and the Belly Bandit (what a great concept!). This is my husband and I’s first baby so prepping can be a little overwhelming at times but we are very excited and can’t wait to meet our little love!

I guess a better question is who wouldn’t I like to meet. Being pregnant with my first baby I am on the hunt for the perfect stroller/carseat combo, so meeting Bugaboo, Britax, Quinny, Mutsy are a big must! In addition, I love the nursery bedding Olio and Skip Hop have in the market place. I am so glad I found your website, it has been one of the sites I regularly visit since becoming pregnant! Thanks for the inspiration!
