Unique baby holiday outfit Review: Valentine’s Day 2022

by Tator

As always I am super excited for another holiday with my kids And no holiday would be the same without paired or matching outfits for them.

Unique Baby is one of our favorite small business shops on Amazon and for good reason. 

-They’re size inclusive and offer products for nearly every holiday for the whole family including matching mommy & me sets. 

-They’re an environmentally cautious company with their “give a gift” initiative. (More on that in a separate post.)

-Unique baby consistently thinks of their customers by including thank-you notes, discount cards, and QR codes to redeem free-themed activity packs in their packages. 

This Valentine’s Day The Tatorthoughts kids will be wearing 2 complete UB outfit sets:

Unique Baby Girls Valentine’s Day Outfit Ruffle Top Legging Set https://a.co/d/9zyCd9w

Unique Baby Boys Valentine’s Day Tic Tac Toe T-Shirt with XO Shorts https://a.co/d/il4a90W

Their outfits are always high quality, they wash & wear well and my children always look forward to their outfits. Who doesn’t love feeling festive on holidays?

I’m always so excited when I find a full outfit for my son rather than just a shirt. —Don’t get me wrong we love a good themed shirt but when my daughter has 100 different options for 2 and 3-piece outfits for any given occasion and my son only has shirts to choose from it seems very one-sided and gender biased. Thankfully with Unique Baby, we are able to dress both of our children in cute, high-quality memorable outfits as they offer many things for boys and girls alike!  

The only drawback with this Valentine’s set for my son is that it’s a short set rather than a full-length pant set like my daughter’s. We live in Georgia and have weather that often takes us through all 4 seasons of the year in a span of a week and as of the time I’m dictating this segment, the forecast predicts a high of no more than 65°F on Valentine’s Day. Knowing my son however it could be freezing outside and he’d still wear his outfit as it was meant to be worn. (moms of boys know what I mean 🤣😅)

We’re always thankful for the hard work and quality products UB is synonymous with. 

Kim, if you read this thank you for all you do!

Use the links above to purchase any remaining sizes in these styles and browse for more in the UB Store on Amazon.

Happy Valentine’s Day from everyone at Tatorthoughts.com!

Bow Babies: The Showcase & Product Review

by Tator

Y’all, Tatorthoughts has done it again and partnered with someone so sweet just in time for Halloween!

Mrs. Dametra Thompson-Thomas the owner and operator of bow babies Has partnered with us to bring fashionable hair accessories and infant barefoot sandals with matching bows to our audience’s attention and let me tell you they steal the show!

She’s also been so kind as to create a beautiful hanging now holder to help display her quality alligator clip bows!!

She was so gracious as to send us so many of her amazing creations!

I’ll drop an itemized list here:

  • 1 Breast cancer awareness ribbon alligator clip bow
  • 1 delightfully spooky spiderweb Halloween themed alligator clip bow
  • 1 Cartoon turkey Thanksgiving-themed alligator clip bow
  • 1 Candy cane Christmas themed alligator clip bow
  • 1 cupcake ribbon birthday-themed alligator clip bow
  • 1 Red and green glitter print Christmas bow that I am calling “The poinsettia bow” it also has an alligator clip
  • 1 pair of jeweled light purple flower barefoot sandals and a matching bow headband 
  • 1 pair of red flower & checkered barefoot sandals with matching headband bow that remind me equally of the wizard of oz or something a small child would wear on a Georgia bulldogs game day but since not everyone is a Georgia fan I’ve coined them “Dorothy slippers”. 
  • 1 BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED, initial S letter bow hanger for display, adorned in vibrant rainbow colors and butterflies both hold very significant meanings with us and I love that she includes such special details in everything she does!

Her craftsmanship is incredible these bows are well-made and they will stand up to almost any beating from the most tomboyish of girls, and long outlast any love that they are given! These bows are definitely keepsake worthy and I think I speak for everyone when I say most any bow babies product will be retired once outgrown and passed down when the time comes!

This bow holder will be hung on my daughter’s wall for years to come and fits with anything that her room might change into which we LOVE! Versatility for the win!

Not only are the bows and barefoot sandals well-crafted they’re made with love by a mom herself using high-quality materials, made to last, and made to make a statement!

Moms and their dreams & passions are limitless! Amiright?

Her products however aren’t the only things that make a statement. 

Her incredible customer service, attention to detail, openness to custom orders or ideas, drive and quality packaging & presentation skills are bar none!

When I opened the shipping box that arrived just when expected I was surprised to find a second well-packaged box inside complete with an outside twine tie & rainbow sticker. 

Items on the inside were well packaged & protected neatly ordered together and wrapped in a nice light lavender tissue paper separating item types as to not have the alligator clips scratch the beautiful paint on the bow organizer in transit. 

These products are perfect holiday additions, great gifts for special occasions & birthdays and perfect for everyday staples also!

I’m very proud of this partnership and all the meaning behind it, so thankful for incredible partners like Mrs. Thompson-Thomas. 

I’m extremely proud to associate myself with such kind wonderful people as it reminds me good is in the world and it’s uplifting other moms, other people with real dreams that matter most to me. 

I’m thankful for this opportunity and Tatorthoughts would like to welcome bow babies to the team! I very much look forward to working with this company in the future and showcasing the next & newest of her wonderful creations!

Momma Made Designs LLC Product Review Showcase: Mom makes magic within handmade clothing market!

by Tator

You may think hand made clothing is a thing of the past. I’m here to tell you it’s not!

Tatorthoughts firmly believes in celebrating individuality, and all things unique in life. 

Of course mass produced clothing garments have their place in the market and can become meaningful, sentimental keepsakes for many but there’s something that stands alone among those things. 

Hand made, custom entrepreneurial dreams.

These things may seem to be just simple fabric and stitching but to me these items are so much more. 

They represent the meticulous, artistic passions of a mother. Taylor welsh of Momma Made Designs LLC pours love and compassion into every item she creates and does so with pride. 

As a mother and caregiver being able to showcase these personalized items is an honor and privilege her skills are impeccable and not even the best of photos give her craftsmanship and product quality justice. 

For this review we are featuring 

A size 3t custom “hidden Mickey” dress

 (I suppose you could call it anything you like, we’ve coined it the “hidden Mickey magic” dress because my daughter and I were absolutely blown away by the sight of it upon opening the box. And love that even the inside of the dress has Mickey fabric lovingly sewn into it!)

A size 2t “bipity bopity boo” dress

With incredible sleeves and tule skirt detail. 

2 SURPRISE matching headband bows that Taylor so kindly included without my prior knowledge to accompany both dresses. 

& last but not least A size 5t Boys Dino outfit shirt & pant set. 

As a mother of sons the fact that Taylor also  offers boys products through her shop rather than solely catering to girls clothing means the world to me. 

It is with pride that I’m able to say my sons aren’t always excluded from the finer things simply because they are males. 

It’s also incredible that many of her items including this Dino set could be gender neutral, this could be paired with a bow for a little girl or worn as is!

The saying often goes “you get, what you pay for” and in this case it absolutely rings true. Momma Made Designs LLC offers high quality, customizable children’s clothing and accessories made with quality materials, love and precious time meticulously spent. 

It is evident that Taylor is a mother as you can see her loving parental touch shine through with every item. 

Supporting small businesses helps families and dreams flourish. 

If you are looking for anything with a unique touch to adorn your children in whether it be for family photos, church, everyday wear, special occasions, dress up or your next Disney adventure I highly recommend you reaching out to www.mnmdesignz.com with your need! You will be met with top notch customer service, impeccable products and irreplaceable memories afterwards all with the satisfaction that you’ve also supported someone else’s dream.

Lyons Den Designs – custom timeout chair product review.

by Tator

Tatorthoughts recently collaborated with Samantha from Lyons den designs and y’all have got to see the magic she’s got up her sleeves!

I had the pleasure of working with her to customize two IKEA MAMMUT Time out Chairs.  They are ADORABLE! Samantha did her thing and took two basic white chairs and make them something any parent could be proud for their child to have even if it is for time out. 

Fear not, these chairs are a blank slate for Lyons den designs you can personalize them to fit your child’s interests, if you can think it Samantha can make it. Her attention to detail is impeccable. Her dedication to her work is top-tier! But just when you think it can’t get any better it does! Her customer service is incredible, seriously one of the best I’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. 

Assembly was a breeze. 

It took me less than 12 minutes to assemble both chairs even with my dexterity and coordination that more often than not leaves much to be desired. 

No tools required, they truly are align, click & go. 

If these chairs can fairly comfortably hold a 5”5 adult woman I have no doubt they’ll take almost any beating a child of time out chair age (let’s say 2-8 years old for the sake of the review) can deliver. 

These are chairs any child would be proud to own. Though they may be for time out they don’t have to be ugly. 

Unlike Agatha Trunchbull, we don’t believe time out should be in a dark damp corner or the infamous “chokey.”

Timeout is a time of self-reflection used to discern how a child can make better decisions but it surely doesn’t have to always be an ugly or even a completely negative thing. After all, children are just small people, learning to navigate the world the same way we as adults do. 

Around here we do 1 minute for every year of age for the length of timeout. We explain, sit and explain again. It’s more of a constructive teaching opportunity than punishment.  Samantha has you covered though! With the option of a removable, working timer you can set it without worries of forgetting it! She went so far as to include velcro command strips in our package! (Talk about customer service!)

Cut, peel, stick DONE! 

We’ve placed ours on the back of the chair, out of sight and fairly well out of reach of those that will sit in these little seats. 

They’re sturdy, visually appealing, super easy to assemble, and a constructive learning tool for growing minds and big hearts with big emotions. These are a perfect addition to our quiet thinking spot & you really can’t go wrong. You can personalize them any way you like to best fit your family’s needs. Send her a pm.

But these aren’t all she makes! Head on over to Lyons Den designs and let her make you something fabulous, tell her Tatorthoughts sent ya!

Custom shirt product review!

by Tator

I’m back at it again with another reason to love Justine’s words that stick! These shirts are INCREDIBLE.. let me go in on a backstory here.. yes I had her make two shirts for me which one I wear depends on the crowd I’m in. Sure traditionally husband & wife shirts are sold in pairs to match but depending on who you ask I’m someone’s wife but to others I’m wifey- a sarcastically originated comment, turned term of endearment.
Now that you’re all caught up on why there’s three let me tell you how much we love them.. ALOT
you’d think it’d be hard to capture such personality in something so seemingly simple but she’s managed to do it YET AGAIN. SURPRISED?.. I’m not!
I couldn’t capture my own photos to rightfully do her work justice but she exceeded all expectations again!
The vinyl won’t crack and these shirts will last a long long time. There’s no overwhelming smell like some custom items I’ve received which is a total plus because nobody wants to walk around smelling like chemicals even after wash.
Speaking of wash, they do it well (I crack myself up, sometimes.)
If you can dream it she can do it I suggest you reach out! Y’all know where to find her! Go get some gear you won’t be disappointed!

Justine’s words that stick custom embroidered Easter basket product review.

by Tator


I recently partnered with a wonderful Home school mom Justine, business owner of justine’s words that stick!
Not only is she beyond sweet her creative talents are bar none!
I was blessed with the opportunity to review an embroidered and yes I said embroidered Easter basket for her and I’ve gotta say, I’ve reviewed a lot of items.. ALOT quite a few of which never actually made it in front of you guys on the blog because quality didn’t live up to expectations but this basket DEFINITELY DOES!
As you may have guessed I’m a huge sucker for traditions and this Easter basket is one tradition I know my daughter will carry with her for years to come as we celebrate the Easter holiday festivities.
I’ve seen a lot of embroidery.. most leave so much to be desired but the quality of my daughter’s beautifully embroidered name surpassed all expectations I could’ve had.
These baskets are deep, sturdy and spacious. You cannot go wrong!
There’s so much up this creative gals’ sleeve I doubt anyone could put an idea in front of her that she couldn’t pull off, I so look forward to working with her more in the future and continuing to bring you guys the impeccable product reviews you crave I absolutely love showcasing people’s talents and giving others the opportunity to shop small and support dreams.
