La Bump goes LIVE on Good Morning Texas!


Jill and Beth had the awesome opportunity to spread the word about La Bump on live television this week!

Good Morning Texas' Paige Smith has a daily segment titled "Penny Pinching" and featured La Bump's resale website as a clever way to pinch pennies, go green, and save the world. Okay, maybe not save the world, but decide for yourself. Click here to view the link!

He’s HERE!!!!!


Hi all! Amma here! Holden Jack was born on October 30th at 2:55 p.m. He weighed in at 8 pounds and was 20 inches long, and he is, without a doubt, a perfect baby boy! We have been very busy at Jill’s house since Holden’s arrival. Ava is adjusting to being a big sister quite nicely (she just loves “her baby” so much!) And Claire – an old hat at this whole big sister thing - was quickly back to business as usual. So much to do as a busy 2nd grader!

By now, Jill is a pro at giving birth. She looked great moments after delivery. Beth joked that she took out her to do list, crossed off “give birth” and asked who was ready to make a run to the grocery store? Ha! She is a super woman, that’s for sure!

So we’ve now got 5 in the Marlowe family – a bit of a rarity these days. I grew up with 4 kids in my family and back then it certainly wasn’t unusual for families to have 5 or more children. How things have changed! We recently overheard 7 year old Claire talking with some friends about new babies. One little friend said, “I can’t believe you’re going to have THREE kids in your family!” Another little boy said, “that’s nothing, I heard about a kid once who’s family had FOUR KIDS!!!!” At that point, all the kids were rendered speechless. Stunned at the thought! After hearing this exchange, a very pregnant Jill turned around, shrugged, and said, “well, I guess that means we’re one kid short of a freak show.”

Maternity Resale . . . Kids Resale . . . Thank Goodness for www.LaBump.com



Hi everyone, Beth here. I can’t help but comment on the current state of our economy. As smart mommies we must work together to take care of our families during these times. Women have been making do and taking care of things with few resources for ages so I know we can do it! We really do need to band together as women to get the job done! La Bump is just one way that we can make our dollars go further, reuse kids’ stuff, share, swap and trade maternity clothes. All of these little steps make a huge difference. Here are some tips that the La Bump sisters love for saving money during these tough times:

www.moneysavingmom.com has the BEST coupon saving tips!!! Our favorites are the CVS and Walgreens programs, you MUST get started!

Implement soup and sandwich night at home. One night a week, open a can of Progresso soup and make some yummy sandwiches (we like to melt some cheese on whatever sandwich in the frying pan or the George Foreman grill to make it super gooey) and PRESTO...you have a really inexpensive, not to mention QUICK and EASY TO CLEAN UP, evening meal. It's a nice break during the winter months.

And of course, our favorite tip of all (the original “craigslist for moms) www.LaBump.com. Try an experiment for 1 week or 1 month or even 1 year! Try not to purchase anything new (except consumables like food and toiletries). This is a great way to "reduce, reuse and recycle". Help do your part for the earth and save yourself some money along the way. Remember La Bump for maternity resale, kids resale, no cost consignment, nursing supplies, etc.

About Us

www.LaBump.com was created by 3 sisters with the help of our mother, better known as “Amma” to all of our little ones. We believe that every woman should have access to fabulous maternity clothing and beautiful, gently used children’s clothing and gear. We spent years sending the same old box o’ maternity clothes back and forth to each other in an effort to share cute maternity wear among sisters. Finally, we concluded that there must be more women out there like us, looking for maternity clothing and gently used toys and items for their little ones. We started this site as a way to expand our own network and hopefully help other mommies do the same. As every smart mommy knows, one of the ultimate forms of recycling is recirculating gently used items for children and mothers. We have put a new spin on typical hand me down clothing by creating a network of women in your city who can buy sell and trade maternity clothing and accessories and gently used clothing, toys, and gear for our little ones.
