I Could Just Eat This Up:Noah Baby Review and Giveaway

So you all remember our friend Lesley from Fab Find Friday, right? And you remember how she mentioned her fabulous mom-business Noah Baby Boutique? If you do, I'm sure you also remember how adorable every single thing she makes is.

That's why I was thrilled when she agreed to do a giveaway with me! From moment one Lesley was the pinnacle of patience and professionalism. She happily answered all of my questions and let me choose my own theme/fabric to make sure that my tote was customized exactly the way I wanted it.

The turn around time was fantastic-I placed my order on Thursday and she mailed it out on Friday! I anxiously awaited it's arrival, and despite my mail carrier's tendency to deliver everything as late as humanly possible, it arrived very promptly on Monday morning. When I opened up the package I was immediate thrilled with the packaging-it came wrapped in tissue paper, with her adorable little bird logo holding it together-when I took it out of the tissue paper I was just as excited (you know how I love pretty things!). Seriously-how adorable is this?!

If this were a gift, I could have put it in a gift box exactly as it had arrived! Still, the packaging is not the best part. Once I finished unwrapping the tote, I was just in love with it. It is so crafty-cute! Monkey was with me when I unwrapped it, and he too was totally taken with it. That's part of the reason why my pictures are not so fabulous-he couldn't let me just take a picture. He immediately wanted to take his bag and "fill it with his special treasures".



I did however manage to get an up close shot of the letters. The little zig-zag stitching is such a nice touch, don't you think? The fabric is bright and stands out, but it is well coordinated-everything is pulled together to make the tote a fabulous piece of craft work.

The design isn't the only fabulous part-this tote bag is very durable and highly functional as well. It can withstand Monkey-that alone is a great sign. This tote bag is big enough and sturdy enough to carry a ton of books without being uncomfortable. It easily swings over my shoulder as comfortably as a purse, and fits underneath the stroller for walks to the library. As a homeschooler I can tell you-this tote is going to prove invaluable!

Lesley's tote bag is kid friendly in structure and design-and we at the house of M love it love it love it.

That's why I'm so glad that Lesley and I can give one away! You can win a fabulous kid friendly, crafty cute, ultra durable tote bag customized just for you-put your kid's name on it, your family name on it, whatever is special to you, and pick from Lesley's fabulous fabric selection-really make it your own!

As always, you get one entry for simply leaving a comment on this post. However, if you want extra entries (this giveaway will probably get heated!) you can:


If you just can't wait to have a personalized tote bag of your very own, Lesley has generously offered that during the run of this contest [From 10/10 to 10/24] she will give I've Changed My Name To Mommy readers 15% off on any personalized tote bag purchase! All you have to do is enter the code "MRSM09". While you're there check out the brand new products she just put out, including this fabulous blanket that's on The Bean's Christmas list!
