We are super excited to share our top 5 Finds from the JPMA Baby Show! Last week, the 2nd Annual JPMA Baby Show took place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington DC. If you don’t know of the JPMA Baby show, it is one of the largest trade and consumer baby shows in North America. Since Monica’s flight was canceled due to Winter Storm Toby, we were lucky enough to have Gugu Concierge expert, Julie McCaffrey, on the ground at the show. Here’s her round-up of the five coolest and most innovative finds at the show…
