Enrich Your Child’s Mind with Books from I SEE ME

Enrich Your Child’s Mind with Books from I SEE ME

We Wish You More BookIn 1998, husband and wife, Allan and Maia, received a personalized book as a gift for their first son. They loved that the book was personalized, but thought the illustration could have been better and the story could have been more customized to their child. So in May of 2000, after a year of active product development, I See Me! was created. Allan’s and Maia’s goal for their first book, My Very Own Name, was to produce an educational book that would teach young children how to recognize letters and spell their names.

Today, you can customize over 100 different titles! Their mission is to increase self-esteem in children through personalized books that celebrate the uniqueness of each child. The goal of their books is to show each child how absolutely unique and special he or she is, to teach the child how to spell his or her name, and to build vocabulary skills.

Thoughts about I See Me!

I absolutely love the products that I See Me! offers. I’ve used their website many times to purchase a personalized book for my nephew, so I was super excited to have the opportunity to get another title to add to his library collection. My nephew LOVES books, so every time I bring him a new story for him to keep, he lights up with the most adorable smile you’ve ever seen. He immediately wants to sit down and read what I brought. I know it’s always a success when I bring him a title from I See Me!, because they offer unique, personalized products for your child.What better way to invest in your child’s future than with their very own personalized book?

We Wish You More is the perfect present for birthdays, graduation days, or wedding days. I Wish You More applauds effort, achievement, and love, and wishes readers “more ups than downs” and“more give than take.” Not a book person? I See Me! offers many other products, such as lunchboxes, puzzles, placemats, coloring books, stickers and growth charts. There truly is something for everyone and every occasion.Sara Tag

Declutter, Save Money and Breathe Easier

I have never been much of a collector until I got older. Now it seems that I collect things I really don’t need anymore. Especially when it comes to my office, the one space I want to be peaceful and calming. The only things I love to collect is my Flow Blue china and pictures. But try telling that to all of the books and papers that creep up on you. My hubby on the other hand, he is always a work in progress with tools and stuff he “might” need. It doesn’t take long to add up! Don’t even ask about my kid… Teens are terrible with Stuff!

Decluttering is something I try and work on several times a year. There are many great reasons to have a streamlined and organized home. Decluttering can save you time and money, plus let you breathe easier too! Here is why.

Declutter, Save Money and Breathe Easier

Organized Spaces
One thing I hate more than anything is looking for something that I need. When something has a home, that is where it should be found all the time. I hate wasting time looking for an item that belongs somewhere else. Having organized spaces really helps you save time and patience!

Decluttering Saves Money
By having your items organized and streamlined, you are able to find what you are looking for so no need to buy replacements. Plus, reigning in the collection purchases also will reduce the amount of money you spend. And you can sell the excess for some cash or gift it to those that would appreciate the items.

Reduce Cleaning
Clutter and stacks creates more to clean and that means more time cleaning. I am not a clean freak but I enjoy a clean and organized home. So any way I can reduce the amount of time cleaning and have it look nice is a great thing to me!

Love for Your Items
We collect things for a reason and by deculttering, we can really come to grips with what we love and admire versus what we don’t like as much. Choosing to keep only those items we love will mean more to us in the long run. Choose favorite pieces to display and store or sell the rest. A few times a year, switch them out or move them to different places in the house to enjoy there. Only bring in new items if you have somewhere for it to go and you choose to get rid of something else.

More Mental Clarity
It has been shown that the more stuff that clutters your room, the more your mind is cluttered too. Maybe that is where the zen and holistic spaces come in. Freeing your rooms of clutter will free your mind to think and work more easily.

This is a work in progress for me. I find the older I get the less stuff I want around me.
