ALL GOOD THINGS COME WITH TIME…and patience!
I have been in this business going on 4 years. My actual anniversary for being in business is September 6, 2006. With each gifting I have done, it has always felt like the first one all over again. I truly love what I do and truly love and respect all the companies that I have had the pleasure to work with over the course of my years here. There have been some major bumps in the road for me personally and professionally, but somehow I have held my head up high, have been grateful for these amazing opportunities and have always been true to myself and to my clients. I have been burned, as we all have at one point or another and I have dusted myself off, regained my focus, and pushed ahead and I am so glad that I did and that I never once caved in and gave up. So many times we question our business, our abilities, and we come so close to throwing in the towel. While we are always looking for the bottom line, sometimes you have to look at your appreciation. Is greed driving you or is true passion and love for what you are doing driving you? While I am not making millions of dollars over here at Baby Swags headquarters, I feel as if I am the richest woman on the planet. I have an amazing husband who, may not always say it the way I’d like to hear it, or express it the way he had planned, he is always there for me when I need him, and he is proud of all I have done. I have 3 children who are beautiful and amazingly talented in their own ways, who simply put, adore me. I have a family who loves me and is excited to see me get excited when I receive calls from Hollywood. I have a network of women *and men* who I completely respect and am honored to know. And, I have a growing and thriving business that I truly love and get excited for every day. While things may seem to take a long time to process and get together, like the boutique and the magazine…I know in my heart that with all this love and dedication it will all come together and be a huge success! After all, I am “building my empire” as I tell my children!
There will be some changes made at Baby Swags, from individual giftings, to pre & post gifting procedures, to levels of participation, and exclusivity. We are finally adding our magazine, Tots To Teens Magazine to our family of businesses and I am excited to share the guide with you. Baby Swags, The Mommy Mentor and Tots To Teens Magazine is currently entering a whole new world and the adventure with the three is just beginning. I am so happy to have you all be a part of my new adventures.
I’ve always said that if you surround yourself with the right team of people, anything is possible. I honestly believe that, which is why I am so grateful you have stuck with me over the course of my business journey. It’s amazing to me how I still have clients that have stuck by me since the very first gifting close to 4 years ago! All I can say to you all is thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for allowing me into your business journey. I hope that as the days, months and years go by we can all be appreciative in knowing that all good things come with time…and patience.

In an exclusive interview, Reality star Bethenny Frankel was always on the go until she met husband Jason Hoppy, and became mom to daughter Bryn, on May 8. “It’s unbelievable. It’s every cliché, everything everyone tells you,” the Bethenny Getting Married? star gushes about motherhood to Life & Style.
Bethenny’s late-night partying has now been substituted for baby-feeding sessions and designer duds for pajamas. “I breast-feed and pump, and I’d say Bryn eats every three to four hours,” Bethenny tells Life & Style about her and Jason’s tag-team schedule. “He’ll do a feeding at 1 a.m., then I’ll do one at 5 a.m. It’s whoever hears it first, and we don’t try to pretend like we don’t hear it,” she says about Jason, whom she calls an amazing and unbelievable father.
Since the arrival of Bryn, the fiery reality star seems to have finally reached her own place of Zen. “People say that I’m a little softer, a little calmer,” she says. “I’m definitely happier.” Her priorities have certainly shifted since the drama-filled days of nasty castmate catfights and posh red carpet soirees. “There are things you have to have, just a whole other world of things,” Bethenny says about her new splurges, such as Bryn’s stroller, car seat, crib and other necessities. “You don’t buy anything for yourself anymore, and you don’t care… You’re so happy that your body’s back, you’ll wear a garbage bag.”

Category : Bethenny Frankel, New Celebrity Moms
In an exclusive interview with Life & Style Magazine, Bethenny Frankel is in can’t-eat, can’t-sleep, head over heels love — with her beautiful daughter, Bryn, who was born on May 8. But with her biological clock continuing to tick, Bethenny opens up to Life & Style about whether she and husband Jason Hoppy will have the second child he’s always wanted.
“I originally thought we would want one, but Jason really wants another,” Bethenny says about possibly expanding the Hoppy brood. “But I’m just so in love with Bryn right now that I want to focus completely on her,” she says about her daughter, who also answers to nicknames ChicKpea, Booboo and Sunshine Bunny – to name a few. “For me, marriage and kids ended up happening at the same time because of my age, I suppose, and because we were both in the same place and both ready,” Bethenny tells Life & Style, acknowledging that they aren’t “spring chickens.” “I’m not 25, so I don’t have all the options in the world. I have to make a decision somewhat soon.”
One thing Bethenny definitely wants is a second season of her hit Bravo spin-off, Bethenny Getting Married? “It just shows that you don’t have to be psychotic, and there doesn’t have to be drama or slapping people in the face,” the star says of her family-oriented show. But since her and Jason tied the knot on the July 8 episode, Bethenny has a new title suggestion: “Bethenny Turning 40!”
