Fabkins

School is about to start here and we have been gearing up and getting all of our supplies ready. It occurred to me as I was making my lists for school shopping that I may have to start buying paper napkins again to use in lunch boxes for the kids. I don't have enough of a supply of cloth built up yet at home to let them take those. Plus, all of our home ones would be rather large for a lunch box.

Luckily, I found Fabkins! These are the most adorable cloth napkins in just the right size for a child's lunch box! I was so excited about these that I let my kids pick out which they wanted and went to order right away. Unfortunately, the ones Sister chose were out of stock. I emailed the company to find out when they'd be in and I got an almost immediate response from co-founder Paige Rodgers. She explained that the ones we wanted were out of stock until October. Sister picked out her second favorite and we had an email saying they were shipped in less than 24 hours. How's that for customer service? I'm beyond impressed.

I'll let you know how they work out when we start using them. For now, I'm just glad that I don't have to buy paper napkins again!

Those are great! I think I would like to get some for my son's lunch box. I saw the comment about making them ... yikes! I have planned to make my own cloth baby wipes ... I got as far as cutting the cloth a few months ago...

Ok, my son, the Commander in Chief of the Space Cadets would throw it out. Guaranteed.

Plus, he uses his sleeve most of the time. *That* or he hops into my car at the end of the day with half of his lunch still on his face. :)
