Interview with Sally Shields – The DIL Rules

Sep 18, 2008 by Editor

Ok, there is no way that I can be this computer/technology illiterate. I cannot figure out how to add the widget to this wordpress blog! It is driving me crazy so I just uploaded the interview to my server and created this link. I promise that I will eventually figure out how to add the link directly to BlogTalkRadio! But first, take a listen to my very first podcast. Thank you so much Sally for being so kind and patient with me. It was short notice (like an hour before hand) so I appreciate you taking the time today to talk to me. It was a lot of fun and I hope to chat with you soon. It would be a lot of fun to do a monthly free for all! I think I will have to do that. Just open the forum up for anyone to visit, chat, share stories, experiences, etc… But, back to you Sally, again, thank for everything. You were a great first guest!

Here you go everyone! Here is Sally Shields, author of The DIL Rules

LibraKnits, LLC will welcome two new additions, just in time for the Holidays

Sep 2, 2008 by BabySwags

Re sa Caps now come in two new colors as LibraKnits, LLC launches their holiday-inspired product line and Owner Amanda Sawyer gets an early gift of her own.

This holiday season will be a busy one for LibraKnits, LLC owner, Amanda Sawyer.  Her company is launching its first holiday-inspired product line of luxurious hand-made baby hats, available in September.  The line will come in two new colors for Christmas and Hanukkah and will maintain its original style.  Sawyer has also heard the news she has been waiting for.  After coming to terms with not having children, Sawyer and her husband are now expecting their first child, a baby girl, and are set to give birth in October 2008.

The Re sa Caps are soft and cuddly and promise to bring warmth and joy to both the person giving the hat and the baby who wears it.  They make the perfect holiday gift, as they are available in several colors to help celebrate Christmas and Hanukah.  The holiday colors have been chosen specifically to appeal to customers wanting to commemorate their baby’s first holiday, as the hats are sized for babies aged 0-6 months.  They are meant to be a keepsake gift that will last until the baby has their own baby and passes it on to them.

“We specialize in making luxurious hand-knitted baby hats for the discerning baby gift-giver.  Each piece is crafted using sumptuous hand-dyed angora and lambswool yarn made by artisans” states Sawyer.  “LibraKnits is proud to introduce our new line of holiday-inspired hats for the baby who wants to celebrate the holidays in style.”

After a two-year battle with infertility, Sawyer also finally has news she only dreamed of – she is going to be a mommy.  Sawyer has announced that she will be welcoming her first child, a new baby girl, into the world this October.   As she has made many Re sa Caps for her customers, she can proudly say that she, too, is now a customer.  Without having gone through the life experiences of infertility, LibraKnits, LLC would not have been born, however hope was still in sight.

“The phrase Re sa, loosely translated, is the Buddhist concept of hope.” states Sawyer, “We named our product the Re sa Cap because LibraKnits wishes each baby who wears our hat all the best hope for a vibrant future full of joy and happiness.”

You can learn more about Amanda Sawyer and LibraKnits by visiting www.libraknits.com.   If you would like more information or to schedule an interview with Amanda Sawyer, please call Phyllis Pometta at 815-577-8459 or email pr@babyswags.com.

Aug 23, 2008 by Editor

Happy Birthday to Baby Swags!

 

Baby Swags is going to be celebrating it’s second birthday on September 9th, 2008.  We have helped over 100 companies take a leap into celebrity gifting at an affordable rate.  Many of the companies that have sought the help of Baby Swags have been in business one year or less and have been started by work at home moms, aka WAHM’s.  We have gifted over 300 celebrities through individual giftings and larger event giftings.  All products included have been created and/or invented by mom making our giftings unique in itself.

 

With our growth comes changes and expansion.  As of September 1, 2008 we will be supplying our client as well as our celebrity Baby Swags followers with many new additions.  Our immediate plans will include the following:

 

*  Providing our fellow WAHM’s and readers with tips and information on marketing your home based business on a shoe string budget.

 

*  Product Reviews for all members of the family.  These reviews will be broken down into different categories that will allow us to provide readers with targeted product information.  Our categories will include, Belly Bags that will contain products for the expecting mom such as maternity wear, creams and jewelry, etc…  We will have a category for books, daddy’s, the older child and siblings, Nursery  & Decor and General Gifts, such as candles and sweet treats.  Product reviews are open to any company that is looking to further their businesses.

 

*  We will provide our readers with various monthly giveaways that will most likely be those that have been posted as a review.  These items for giveaway will total $25.00 or more and will be sent to winners directly from the designer/manufacturer.  More information will come soon

 

*  Radio shows that will consist of WAHM interviews, chats with guest speakers, business advice, weekly call ins and more.

 

*  YouTube video’s of various events will be uploaded and shared.  Now you can get a behind the scenes look at what many of us WAHM’s do on a daily basis.  

 

*  Newsletter for those that are interested in the products that celebrity new moms have been sent, sales and different offers that are made available only to our newsletter subscribers.

 

*  And finally expand our levels of marketing and pr for clients that will include extra services for trade and consumer shows that Baby Swags participates in, such as LA Baby Expo, product pitching and press releases.

 

Overall we will be adding extra levels of security for confidential information  that will require clients and potential clients to sign a confidentiality agreement that is based on ethical guidelines as stated in our code of ethics pledge.
