Ok, so literally LOL here! I totally got caught "vrooming" my cart around the corner by a worker at the local discount department store. Yah, so I am definitely one of those moms that makes all the sound effects, BUT...this time I was caught doing it while the kids were at school. I guess it's just a habit that I find entertaining myself HAHA HA HA HA HA!!!! oops ;) :)

All rave reviews for our boys suits!

Dapper Dudes!

Your boy will look dapper at his special occasion in one of our boys suits we have at The Spunky Monkey. Starting at $54.95, these boys 3 piece suits are very reasonably priced. Lito Childrenswear is known for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.  They have out done themselves with these little pint size suits! Everyone that orders one is pleased as punch, however we take no responsibility for your little one not spilling punch on himself ;).

Consult the size chart  to make sure you're ordering correctly.  These suits run true to size, not big or small.  If you can get your little guy to stand still, measurements will help.  Most of our suits come with a shirt and tie, however, if you'd like to get an extra, we've got those too!

Pre-K Graduation

Ok, personal update: My oldest finished Pre-K and "graduates" this coming Fri.  What a hoot that will be HA HA HA!!!  She had her end of the year dance recital yesterday.  I can't believe it's already her 3rd year in dance?!  CRAZY!  All I kept thinking through the whole recital was that next year when she is in kindergarten at the "big kid" school, she'll have to go to a real dance studio and no more easy preschool dance where they're mobile and hold the class at the school.  So that tuition will go up ARGH!  And simultaneously, my youngest starts preschool next year so I have to decide if I want her to skip the easy preschool dance at the school and have her in a class at the same company as "the big girl" so at the end of the year we can avoid two different recitals and we can just do one for both of them.  UGH...how can ages 2-5 be so "complicated"...I can't even imagine the decisions we're going to have to go through when are kids are in Jr. High and High School.  OK, I can't even think about that now or that just freaks me out LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  One day at a time...

We like to visit these shopping and mommy site "directories" to see who's who, who's new and more.  We also like to give a holla and a shout out where they're due...so here's a spunky monkey shouting, "HOLLA" to these FAB & FUNtastic lists of sites to visit.

and of course, our FAVORITE (~giggles~):

Teething Bib Reviewed on Soapbox Mama


One of our favorite, keep us up to date, blogs is Soap Box Mama.  "Standing on her soapbox," JB Owen-Sacallis has a passion for writing and fashion that shows through in her posts as author of Soap Box Mama.  Soapbox is all about, "Moms who like to think outside the box."  With this in mind, JB puts her experience as a mother of two, founder of agoo apparel, a children’s wear company specializing in kids’ active wear, and published author to good use by upholding the soapbox pledge:

Soapbox Mama is for moms with opinions, preferences and maybe even a bit of attitude when it comes to giving the most to their families. It is for those who want answers, have questions, require products or just need a laugh without wasting a lot of time navigating ads and pop ups. Having children means your life is busy and we want to strive to give you the best, the newest, the coolest and what we think is going to make your life better, happier and easier all around.JB's Fashion Design degree and over 20 years in the fashion industry, with 12 of those years in the film and television industry, writes for numerous newspapers, magazines and websites. In addition to designing clothing, JB's passions include her writing. She hosts numerous blogs, is a guest contributor for a number of children's magazines Me Magazine, Urban Baby, and babyvibe.ca and websites, dashinfashion.com, and 5minutesformom.com along with having her own weekly newsletter agooblog.com and her new site, soapboxmama.com. 
All of this and she CHOSE, yes, her people contacted my people (a.k.a. me LOL!)!  (Can you feel the excitement?) She chose The Spunky Monkey's Blue Bunny Velour Pullover Teether Bib for a product review.  Please take a look at the feature to see what she has to say.  Afterall, she truly is an expert!

We at The Spunky Monkey are THRILLED to have forged a business relationship through this contact and look forward to sharing many more features and product reviews from JB with you in the future!
