Vincent Shoes Summer Sale!




Vincent Shoes started their Summer Sale today, so visit the site now before all of the sizes you need are gone! If you've got a little girl, the Doris sandals are a must. For boys, the Cool high tops are, well, COOL. Also, my 5 year old has the Andy shoes and we both love the fact that he can get these on and off without help. Vincent shoes are fun, functional and the quality is amazing. Get some for your favorite little feet today!

Bravado Essential Nursing Bra Tank

Bravado's Essential Nursing Bra Tank has already become a favorite item in my summer wardrobe, and I haven't even given birth yet. This comfortable tank offers a full non-underwire bra that supports even busty girls like me. Even better, perhaps, is that the stretchy, belly-flattering material is meant to fit me both now and once my baby is born, so I can enjoy the tank for longer. The tank is available in coral, sky blue, black, and white.

Anything's a Bib with the SnapT Bib Clip


My new favorite purse item, the SnapT bib clip by eTooti! This tiny accessory is a huge lifesaver. The SnapT turns any towel or napkin into a fully functional bib. Perfect for eating out and super easy to use, the SnapT comes in 4 different designs, and is fully adjustable to fit anyone! What I love about the SnapT is the fact that even my 3 year old can use it. He's too much of a "big boy" for a bib, but he has no problem at all snapping a napkin to the SnapT. I can't tell you how many pre-laundry "soakings" this has saved me. From spaghetti to pizza, the mess stays on the napkin, not the shirt! You can't go wrong with this product, eTooti offers a money back guarantee and a one year warranty. However, I can promise you that you won't want you money back. My guess is that you will be back for more. My personal guarantee, the SnapT will soon be your favorite accessory too!

Gotta Have Gifts: Dr. Seuss by Bumkins




Looking for a fun shower gift for the mom to be in your life? Bumkins has a new line of "vintage" Dr. Seuss infant body suits and toddler tees that are absolutely adorable. With classic stories like The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Oh the Places You'll Go, & Hop on Pop, you'll be sure to find a blast from the past that makes you smile. The colors are amazing, hip and fun; a nice break from the traditional pinks, blues, and yellows. Heathered shades of green purple, gray and red ringer styles make up this original line. My favorite design is the classic "Cat in the Hat" in red heather. Not only are they cute, but they're also unisex, well made, super soft, and tagless, so no itchy little necks. I've always loved Dr. Seuss and I think my new favorite shower gift will be a Bumkins bodysuit accompanied with the matching book. If I really like the mom to be, she may get a gift basket with a few designs!

Bumkins makes a world of fabulous products. Be sure to check out their toddler and child waterproof Dr. Seuss aprons, great for messy summertime fun at the easel. My boys have these and they are by far the cutest aprons I have seen. The fact that they are waterproof and machine washable is a bonus too! They have aprons for adults as well. If you know twins, the Thing 1 and Thing 2 rompers are a must have! I could go on and on, but I must stop at some point.

Wait, just one more thing I have to mention. Know a new dad or dad to be? Pick up a copy of the Hop on Pop book and wrap it up with the matchin body suit or tee for Father's Day!

All products are available for purchase on the Bumkins site.

Kalencom: Portable Potty & Fabulous Diaper Bags, What more could you want?








With a toddler very recently potty trained, I was on the lookout for a portable potty that was small, easy to use and most importantly CLEAN. When I came across Kalencom's "Potette On the Go Potty" I knew we needed to give it a try. The worst part about potty training are those "gotta go" moments in the car. With the Potette, those moments are a cinch. It is completely sanitary, as there is nothing to clean up after it's been used. The Potette uses self absorbing, disposable liners, that are similar to a diaper. It comes with 3 liners, but additional liners can be purchased at a very reasonable price. The lightly scented liners absorb up to 5 ounces of liquid and the Potette can hold children up to 50 pounds. So if your older child has a potty emergency, it'll work for them too! The seat is contoured for comfort and the legs lock into place for stability. This tiny potty is perfect for keeping in the car, it folds up flat and comes with it's own carrying case that is small enough to stash in your diaper bag. AND, speaking of diaper bags, Kalencom makes BEAUTIFUL ones. Just because we are all potty users around here now, doesn't mean I've tossed the diaper bag. Now, I look for "undercover" diaper bags. I still carry around extra clothes, handi-wipes, and other miscellaneous mom items. Kalencom makes lots of great diaper bags, but the Hannah's Messenger Bag is my favorite. It comes in hip colors, looks super stylish, and the inside has tons of room for all the stuff on my list! The flap top is magnetic and the shoulder strap is adjustable. It's got insulated bottle pouches, a coordinating large sized changing pad, storage pockets galore, but best of all the quality is spectacular. Kalencom offers over 15 styles of diaper bags, so you're guaranteed to find one (or two or three) that you like. All Kalencom products are available directly from the company, visit the site today, get yourself a Potette and a great bag to keep it in!

Phil & Ted's MeToo Chair: Little Ones Love the Big Table



Regal Lager brings us some of the best brands in the children's market. One of these is the popular Phil & Teds line. We all know that they make a great stroller, but did you know about their wonderful MeToo Chair? This portable chair is super lightweight and folds completely flat for easy portability. At only 2 pounds, this small but powerful chair can hold a toddler up to 40 pounds. The MeToo is also very easy to use, 2 "C" clamps attach it to just about any table, and a 3 point harness strap system keeps your little one safe and sound. Its nylon seat is machine washable and is available in red, black, and navy. What I love about the MeToo is the fact that I know my son is in a clean seat when we are out to dinner. I've always been disgusted by public high chairs and the MeToo makes it more than easy to bring your own seat with you. Whether you're at home, out to dinner, or on vacation, the MeToo is a must have. So, ditch the high chair and let your little one join you at the table! Visit Regal Lager and pick up a MeToo chair today.

Bring Out the Genius in Your Child: The Young Scientists Club



I've always known my 5 year old had an interest in science, he loves to inspect things, ask questions, take things apart, TRY to put them back together, solve problems, etc. So, when I was introduced to The Young Scientists Club, I knew it was right up his alley. However, I didn't know it would bring out the genius in him! With 2 friends over for a playdate, I figured it would be fun to try out one of their many fantastic kits. Volcano Madness seemed like a good place to start. The directions are very clear, the supplies are all included (except the vinegar), and the instruction guide makes it easy for anyone to teach the concept at hand. The volcano kit is so thorough. It comes with a little pumice stone to represent the "volcanic" rock. The first part the the experiment asks "Do you think the stone will sink or float?" The three boys had split opinions, but my son said, "No mom it WILL float." So, we put it in the water and it sure did. So, I then asked the boys why they thought it was floating. The first answer, "It's gray." The second answer, "It has little holes in it." My son's answer, "Because the water is heavier than the rock." So, I look at the "teacher" guide and sure enough, he was right. Since he can't read, I know he didn't see the answer. I was stunned! When I asked him how he knew that, he said, "I just thought about it mom." WOW! Anyhow, the lesson ended with a bang, literally. The boys love to watch the lava erupt and learned some cool things along the way. The Volcano Madness kit is one of the eight Adventure Science Kits. With everything from bubbles to magnets to water and weather, you will find something great to explore.

The Young Scientists Club offers 36 different Science Kits, you can even join their "Once A Month" subscription that brings you a new kit each month. What a fantastic gift, learning and fun wrapped up together. AND, it's always fun to get a package in the mail. They also have a new Magic School Bus Series that is inspired by the wonderful book series. These comprehensive kits include fun topics such as The World of Germs, Mysteries of Rainbows, and Journey into the Human Body. The Young Scientist series has been designed for children 5 and up. I highly recommend this unique and amazing line.

All products are available on The Young Scientists Club site, pick some up today. They're great to have on hand. Whether it's one on one time with your little ones or a playdate afternoon, you will love the looks in their eyes as they ponder the new concepts you introduce to them.

The Big Baby Shower: Changing the Way Children Live


Swanky Moms is proud to be an online sponsor of the first annual Jayneoni Moore Children's Fund "Big Baby Shower." This fabulous event is giving 10 women that were hand selected from Los Angeles Shelters and Group Homes the baby shower of their dreams. Sadly these new moms and moms-to-be live in poverty stricken areas and do not have the financial means to take care of their children. Nor do they have the traditional family structure to support them. This very admirable event will assist in creating awareness and will help generate essential products for these underprivileged moms.


We are asking our fellow Swanky Moms to help participate in the event by visiting the BIG BABY SHOWER Babies R' Us registry and purchasing an item for these moms in need. No donation is too big or too small and all of the items on the list are true necessities.


The Jayneoni Moore Children's Fund mission is to "Change the Way Children Live." Visit the registry today and help support this wonderful event. The event day is June 9th, so order now to ensure delivery for the event.


Once you click on the link and purchase, the items will be shipped directly to the Jayneoni Moore Children's Fund and a representative will email you with a tax id number for your records.

True Learning: Keep Them Learning All Year Long




If you haven't heard of True Learning, you definitely need to familiarize yourself with this wonderful site. Again it's the teacher in me, but if you've got little ones ages 3-6, this site is really a must visit. True Learning is the first site of its kind. You purchase a one year subscription and then have access to over 3,000 educational worksheets and activities to complete. What I really love about the site are the fun graphics. My boys, ages 3 & 5 were very drawn to them. The activities are all progressional. Each of the 6 subjects (math, literacy, thinking, motor skills, art & world) have 4 levels of progression. All of the worksheets are colorful and have very inviting graphics. The site does require a lot of printing, however, I have found an excellent solution to this. Print the pages and put them in clear sheet protectors. Get some dry erase markers and put them in a binder. You can then use them over and over and make the most of your ink! True Learning also has a fun blog with great kids' activities. In addition to the blog, little ones can explore True Town and all of its adorable characters (no subscription is necessary for True Town or the blog). It is really amazing how in depth this site is. Visit True Learning for more info and some sample pages. They also have a terrific resource page with links to more great sites for kids. This is a wonderful summer activity to keep your little ones exercising the most important part of their body!

Mustela: Sun Protection for the Most Sensitive Skin


I have to say even before trying Mustela's sun protection line, I already love the company. After all, their 9 Months stretch mark lotion kept me stretch mark free during both of my pregnancies! There aren't enough words in the English Language to thank them for that... Anyhow, I had the pleasure of trying their fabulous sun protection line, including the Mustela High Protection Sun Lotion SPF 50 and the Mustela Sun Cream for Sensitive Areas SPF 50. Both products are amazing. My boys have very sensitive skin and there are only a few sun protection products that do not bother them with burning or itching. I am thrilled to add Mustela to my list of approved sun care! I especially love the Sun Cream for Sensitive Areas. It comes in a little "lip balm" type of tube, perfect for keeping in your purse. I have actually used it myself on my lips and face. It is non-greasy and rubs in very easily. Something very unique about the Mustela sun protection line is the fact that it is the first line to eliminate chemical filters. It utilizes mineral filters to protect against UVA and UVB rays. Please visit the Mustela site to learn more about their skin care products, they have a store finder that will help you locate your nearest retailer. I speak from experience, it's not fun to have skin cancer at the age of 16, nearly all sun damage occurs as a young child, and we as parents can prevent that. The warm summer months are approaching, so make sure you have your Mustela at hand to protect the most important skin on earth!

Thumball: Throw it, Catch it, React to it! A PERFECT TEACHER GIFT!




One of my favorite new finds is the fabulous Thumball by Answers in Motion. These soft squishy "soccer" type balls come in several great styles. They are designed to encourage sharing, laughing, and learning. And guess what? Adults & kids LOVE them. The Original Thumball series comes in both a 4" and 6" inch size ball. The game is simple, throw it, catch it, look under your thumb, and react to it. There are several different versions of the Thumball, ranging from ice breaker types of questions to the young learner styles like abc's (great for phonics and letter recognition activities), counting, shapes and animal sounds. I especially love the "Who Are You" ball (a fun way for kids to get to know each other), the "Category Mania" (naming items in a particular category), and the "Ice Breaker" (great for adult events too). As a former teacher, this is my kind of activity. I took it to a class of sixth graders and they had a blast with it. They had lots of fun answering questions like "favorite Chinese food and best vacation." The balls are safe for indoor and outdoor use, and all items can be purchased directly on the Thumball site. If you are looking for a UNIQUE end of the year gift for your child's teacher, I can promise you that she will LOVE some Thumballs for her classroom. Seriously, I speak from experience, teachers don't need more coffee mugs!

Sara Holliday's Prenatal Yoga - Third Trimester

With only 50 days to go until my baby arrives, I have been feeling completely inflexible; stretching and exercising seem impossible when you're navigating around a giant belly. Sara Holliday's Prenatal Yoga - Third Trimester DVD is a welcome help. It's a 37-minute yoga session that helps you de-stress, stretch achy muscles, and even prepare for labor. And I loved that I could do it at home. It's a useful addition to my prenatal physical therapy.

This DVD is part of a larger series; Sara also has developed programs for your other two trimesters, as well as for after your pregnancy.

Shane's Wish


Shane Bernier is a courageous seven-year-old boy from Lancaster, Ontario who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia when he was only five. On June 6th, 2006 Shane and his family received some unfortunate news: Shane experienced a relapse after completing 108 of 130 weeks of treatment.

However, despite the bad news, Shane has managed to keep a positive outlook on his situation and has made a heart-warming wish... He hasn’t asked for money or toys or anything of the sort. Instead, his birthday is on May 30th and he would like to break the world record for the most birthday cards ever received. His goal is 350 million cards. With every card, Shane’s courage grows. Something as simple as sending a birthday card could be enough to help Shane find peace and joy in his current circumstances.

Please take the time to send a card to Shane and make his dream become a reality. Share his story with your friends, family and co-workers. If at all possible, get your youth groups, church congregations, employees, neighbours or communities to set aside a few minutes to write a thoughtful note to Shane.

With every card, Shane’s smile grows...

If you’d like to send a card to Shane, please send it to:

E-Mail for Grandma, Presto: It's Magic!




If you've got a loved one in your life, with no access to e-mail, the Presto printing mailbox by HP is the PERFECT gift. This fabulous product allows you to send e-mail messages and pictures by using just a phone line. What's great about the Presto is that everything about it is simple. I set my grandmother up with one and she is in LOVE. Every morning at 8:00, she receives messages from family members and she has to do absolutely nothing but remove them from the paper tray! I control all of the settings on the unit from the Presto site. On her end, she just makes sure it's plugged in. I can even monitor her paper and ink levels. Another fabulous feature is the fact that I control who can e-mail her, I enter her "Presto Friends" therefore, there is no junk mail that comes through. Just family fun!

During the initial set up, I had to contact customer service a few times. My grandmother lives a few hours away, she's not at all a technology buff, so we had a few "kinks" to work out. The customer service representatives were unbelievable. They answered all of my questions and even personally called my grandmother to walk her through some questions she had.

Get Grandma and Grandpa connected, Presto is the PERFECT way to do this.
Presto is currently offering a special Mother's Day offer on their Website. From now until Mother's Day you can get $50 off a unit ($99 instead of the regular $150). This is a fabulous deal for a fabulous product.

Check out the Swanky Moms Presto giveaway on our main page. One lucky Swanky Mom will receive a free Presto HP Printing Mailbox and a free three-month Presto service subscription. The total value of the prize package is $180.

**Presto Service only works in the U.S. The receiver of the unit has to live in the U.S., but family and friends outside of the U.S . can still e-mail and send photos to the receiver. For example, if the winner is in Canada but wants to win Presto for her mom, in the US, we will ship it to her mom in the U.S. The winner in Canada will then be able to e-mail and send photos to mom in the U.S.

Potty MD: Potty Problems Be Gone



Nolan See, Nolan Do, Nolan Pee, Nolan Poo....Well, it's done! My little guy is potty trained, no more diapers, I am thrilled. With the help of the fabulous site Potty MD, I was able to potty train my son without tears (of my own) in one week. You must check out the Potty Monkey, yes, that's right, I said Potty Monkey. The Potty Monkey is a must have potty training product. This terrific combination set comes with several helpful tools to use while potty training. Developed by a pediatric urologist, the Potty Monkey comes with his own little potty that makes a real flushing sound. The super soft stuffed monkey has in internal timer in which you can set to either 30 or 90 minutes. This way you can be consistent on getting your little one to the potty to "try." The monkey will talk when you place him on the potty and says phrases to your child, like "I need to go potty, let's go potty." I found that having my son help "potty train" the monkey in turn helped him be potty trained. However, the monkey and potty are not all that comes with the set. You also receive a wonderful book titled "The Potty Trainer" and a children's board book called "Monkey Learns to Potty." My son LOVES this book, it's very cute, hence the first line in this review... Monkey also comes with a diaper and "big monkey" underwear which was very helpful to show my son the importance of trading in his diapers for "big boy" undies.

The Potty Monkey can be purchased on the Potty MD site. This site is the most informative site about potty training I have come across. It has information and products to help with general potty training, bed wetting, constipation and even offers a personal phone consultation service for frustrated or concerned families.

Let Potty MD help you train your little monkey!

I love the idea of taking an "I Am Mad" bubble bath after a hard day!

Be sure to check out the Talk Smart Glosses too. They are all natural lip plumpers with time released moisturizers. The longer you wear them, the fuller and smoother your lips become.
