About our Founder | CEO

Caroline is a dreamer and, above all else, a mom.  Her two children, Lena 4 and Franklin 1, have changed her life in previously unimaginably wonderful ways.  Being a mother has inspired Caroline to find beauty in tiny rocks and flowers, laughter inside a bottle of bubble soap and to dream and reach for the brilliantly twinkling stars.  To watch a child grow is a daily reminder that time slips from your hand like the sand in the large plastic turtle outside.  If there is ever a time to dream and reach and strive it is while our children are watching.  This can only inspire them to greater heights.  Caroline adores being a mom, complete with the daily challenges, struggles and spills.  She desperately, eagerly looks forward to the future but also knows that this moment is everything and to mightily grasp every second of the day.

A Little About SwapTom | Swap for Tomorrow

Swap for Tomorrow has been created by a family with young children for families with young children.  Although every child is unique and special, very often parents’ experiences are similar.   A few universal facts that we have all discovered: 

1. Kids outgrow clothes very quickly – especially the ones that have hardly been worn.
2. Costs are high and funds are low – birthday parties and swimming lessons can really strain a budget.
3. Kids’ clothes are very expensive, even at consignment sales.
4.  Selling clothing through consigning feels like the storeowner keeps more of your money than you do.    

Consigning is the old way. SwapTom is the future because swapping is smart!

Our vision for SwapTom is to provide your family with the clothing that it needs in exchange for the ones that are too small but still in great shape.   Swapping simply makes sense.  Send us what you don’t need and pick out what you do need.  Our online inventory has literally thousands of high quality items to choose from and it changes and expands every day.    Through Swap for Tomorrow, our family hopes to help all young families by reducing expenses and clutter.  We hope the money that is saved can help pay for dance lessons or fill a bookshelf and inspire young readers.    Children truly are our future and now so is SwapTom.
