Holiday Gift Guide: Tady Tote Review + Giveaway

Out of all the baby products I've tried, past and present, the Tady Tote has made it's way to my top ten Favorites! It's totally adorable and functional not only for a little one but also for mom!



What is the Tady Tote?

Well it's simply splendidThe Tady Tote transforms from a plush, cushioned mat to a bag---instantly!  From tummy time to preschool and beyond, a child will love playing, napping and cuddling on this comfy mat.  It’s many uses include, but certainly aren’t limited to the following:

*tummy time mat (cushioned for hard floors)
*picnic blanket (water-resistant)
*toddler nap mat & preschool mat
*quick clean up (leave items on mat, and simply fold & go)
*snuggly blanket (removable and an embroidered teddy bear)


Folded Up


Laid out 

My Thoughts on the Tady Tote:
I Love it, it's not only functional but also pretty! I can see us using this for a long time, taking it over to friends and family's to keep toys contained and Easy clean up! Picnics in the park! And I bet this would make a lovely weather proof stroller blanket for winter month, with it's waterproof outside and super cuddly warm blanket on the inside! I especially like the flowery design, strong Velcro strips, and extra pockets for toys and supplies. I was also very impressed with the removable inner lining for easier washing and the water proof outer shell.

Gift Guide: I See Me! Personalized Christmas Book

This Christmas my husband and I are determined to tone down the gifts and focus more on the memories, I have noticed it more and more throughout the years how gifts piled high take over our house and my Children really don't seem to appreciate them, not saying they don't like the gifts, I just think that there is a such thing as too many, many of the gifts they get never even get played with after opening, just forgotten in a sea of new stuff! So I've decided to really cut back: 

1. Bigger gift from Santa (the main thing they have asked for like my oldest daughter wants a Easy bake oven) 

Then 4 things from us:
1. Something they can wear (New outfits)
2. Something they Want
3. Something they Need
4. Something to Read

I really feel like this will be very good for us and help them actually enjoy their gifts and play with them, and it will make it where I spend more time truly finding and making their gifts extra Special!

As Far as the "Something to Read" gift goes, I found just the place to find that super special book for them
I SEE ME!


I See Me is a site that specializes in Personalized Books, and so much more for Children!

We were sent this lovely Personalized Christmas Book 




This Book is wonderful! It tells a heart-warming Christmas Story, that I know will become a regular at our house!  A Christmas Bear for Me, includes a personalized book, with your child's name, a cute little stuffed bear to go along with the story and a personalized letter from Santa! 



When I opened the package and found this book inside, I was seriously in awe.  It is beyond cute and made really well. The illustrations are wonderful and the story is so sweet.  Not only is the cover personalized, but you’ll find your child’s name all throughout the book and even your family's name on the stockings and Naughty and Nice list!  


Overall I think this would be a perfect gift for Santa to Leave a Child, it's personalized and is magical enough to be made by Santa's elves themselves! Or This would be a unique and thoughtful gift for any child on your Christmas list.  They’ll have it forever and  Spending time reading to a child is so important! I know I will be ordering more for our Christmas Gifts This Year!

Here are some other Fantastic Gift Ideas from I See Me!



And You Can Go HERE to Find I See Me!'s Whole list of Holiday Gift Ideas!
