tmomotwins22 Etsy Shop Review & GIVEAWAY

I like to think of myself as an organized person. In fact, before I had children *gasp* I might have been lovingly called “obsessive”. However, a marriage and three children later I’m not nearly as up tight about things as cleaning and organization – maybe you remember my Wordless Wednesday pic of my dish soap? But I do still try - after all, I am a Mom AND a school teacher.

Assisting me in this effort is Lisa and her Etsy Shop - tmomotwins22! Lisa’s shop offers a “little of this and that” (as stated on her shop page), but it’s clear, her passion is with Memory Boards.

What’s a Memory Board you ask? Simple. It’s a functional, chic and affordable way to organize your papers and pictures on a daily basis – without damaging them with pin holes! Lisa was generous enough to let me choose a memory board of my choice from her shop – hard decision. I chose the board shown here.

I hung my memory board in our kitchen – the epicenter of our family life. This is what it looks like today…

We’ve been using it for the last few weeks now and as you can see it’s been home to photos, drawings, appointment cards and notes. It has become an incredible organization tool for us!

Whenever I discover a fab Etsy Shop I am always intrigued by the creator’s “story”. Lisa of tmomotwins22 was a cake decorator for 13 years before having twin girls – already I’m in LOVE with her story! ;) With the birth of her twins she became a SAHM and has been kept very busy! My twin girls are only 5 but I can a test to that! Lisa started making Memory Boards when her girls couldn’t find anything they liked that matched their rooms. She then started doing a few local craft shows then opened her Etsy Shop.

Lisa’s work, while functional, is also very fashionable. I chose a fabric that accented my kitchen, but she offers Memory Boards in a variety of fabrics appropriate for bedrooms, offices or classrooms. She is also open to custom orders!

Here's a little something for the Nascar fan...

A fab Board for a breakfast nook…

A student’s college dorm room…

tmomotwins22 Shop also offers custom wooden letters,


a fleece baby blanket,

and even photo frames and bows! - A little of this and that!

Lisa of tmomotwins22 has generously offered one lucky Take A Mom’s Word For It reader a Memory Board of YOUR CHOICE!

BUY IT!

Head over to Lisa’s Shop and pick up the perfect birthday or back to school gift to accent any room.

WIN IT!
