Keep Em' Clean with L'il Darlins Bib-A-Roo
2008-02-10 06:20:00
When my boys were little, one of my biggest mealtime issues (aka pet peeves) was the bib. I tried them all, the plastic, the cloth, the ones with the pocket for "catching" the food, the one made of hard plastic with the full on trough, but nothing ever completely kept my boys clean. In fact, I was known for naked babies at mealtime. I mean why risk getting spaghetti on that adorable outfit when you can just let them make a mess and then throw them in the bath after dinner? One problem, naked babies at a restaurant, not really appropriate...If I would have had a Bib-A-Roo by L'il Darlins, my mealtime issues would have been solved. This great bib covers everything! It's a full body bib made in a wide variety of adorable fabrics. The neck has a velcro closure and there is a ribbon tie around the waste area. There are also little ribbons to slide the legs through so it all stays in place during mealtime. I know, it sounds complicated, but I promise, it's not! The Bib-A-Roo is also re...

Little Laureate: Love at First Sight
2008-02-05 07:30:00
Honestly, if I would have discovered this a few years back, I could have saved a TON of money on DVD's for my little ones! Little Laureate was love at first site for both myself and my boys (mostly my 3 year old, but my 6 year old actually enjoyed it too). This super creative DVD series is the most comprehensive I have come across. As a former elementary teacher with a specialization in studio arts, I'm really picky when it comes to introducing art to children. It needs to be comprehensive, in depth, an explained in a manner that children will understand. Guess what? Little Laureate does just that. They use beautiful music, adorable graphics, and "real life" kids to expose the viewers to a wide variety of interesting people, places and things!There are 3 different Gift Sets that come with much more than just a DVD. Designed for ages 1-4 years old (but really any one will enjoy them), each set includes a 30 minute DVD, a 60 minute classical music CD, and a 24 page parent booklet fi...

Can you Give Smitten?
2008-02-05 06:36:00
As an urgent response to the increasingly low reading levels amongst children living in poverty, The Jayneoni Moore Children's Fund is preparing to kick-off Jayneoni's Book Gift which will give the gift of reading to children who have never owned a new book. The number one cause of low reading levels amongst children living in poverty is not having access to books because their parents and schools can't afford them. This is why the foundation is planning to visit elementary schools located in areas hardest hit by poverty and have the lowest reading levels.The organization has recently found an adorable new book, "Smitten" by David Gordon, which tells the tale of a sock and a mitten who are best friends. They are looking to collect 200 copies of the book and we'd love to help spread the word about this great program. Swanky Moms would love it if our readers would be able to donate a copy or copies of this book to be given to a child in need. Donating the book is as easy as clicki...

Spare your Soles with Spare Soles
2008-02-01 23:52:00
I've found what I think is quite possibly one of Swankiest items I've ever reviewed. We've all been there before, you're getting ready, it's time for shoes and you're thinking, "I know my feet are going to kill me by the end of the night, but these shoes look perfect with this outfit!" Well, what if you knew ahead of time that once your feet were done, that you had the perfect compact solution to soothe those aching soles? Look no further, with SpareSoles, you can stash a super cute pair of ballerina flats into even the tiniest handbag, or ditch the handbag altogether, and just use the SpareSoles bag, an adorable zippered pouch (it's plenty big for your plastic, cash, and even a lip gloss). SpareSoles have a waterproof sole, and they're machine washable. They come in 3 different sizes (if you're a half size, order up) and two different colors, black and silver. Whether you're dancing the night away, or Casino hopping in Vegas (Where were these before I had children!?!), no...

Swanky Stocking Stuffer Alert: Sipahh Milk Flavoring Straws
2007-12-21 08:17:00
Want to add a super unique, supper yummy item to the stockings this year? Tell Santa about Sipahh Milk Flavoring Straws! This great little item comes in 4 tasty flavors: chocolate, strawberry, banana, & cookies and cream. The concept is simple yet genius, a plastic straw filled with flavor beads. The beads dissolve as you suck the milk through the straw. I happen to be lucky and my boys love milk, but if your little ones are reluctant to drinking milk, this is a great inspiring treat! You can pick them up at most grocery stores, but if you haven't seen them around, use the store locator to find some Sipahh Straws near you. If you don't have a local retailer, you can purchase them online here. My boys flipped for these and your kids will love them too! My personal favorite, use a chocolate and a banana Sipahh at the same time, YUM!!!!!www.SwankyMoms.BlogSpot.com ~ keep you up to date with what's hip!
