 Rainbow baby

Rainbow baby

They are the sweetest little family. They had a miscarriage that was awful for them emotionally. 6 months later they fell pregnant when they weren't even trying. Their beautiful little girl is now 7 months old and such a light in their lives. Her mama spreads awareness for pregnancy anxiety, ppd and ppa bc she suffered through all of them. She has inspired so many women with her stories and daily content but are struggling financially. They deserve this.

The McLaughlins

The McLaughlins

Sarah McGlaughlin inspires me because even though her sweet baby boy Eli has had so many health issues, from a ragging newborn diaper rash that the all over ointment cured, to his severe GI issues and flat head syndrome she still is the most positive person I have ever met and they can't be shaken.

Jordan and Diana, and their 3 year old Asher, just moved from Ohio to Utah, joining Jordan’s brother’s family but leaving the rest of their family and friends behind. They’ve experienced secondary infertility, and a few miscarriages, but their faith remains ironclad and they are such an inspiration and source of light to everyone they know. I miss my friends so much, and my son misses his best friend. On this new adventure our west, they could use all the love and support they can get ❤️.

They just finally moved into a house after living in hotel room with 6 people. My daughter and son in law work so hard for the family that sometimes it is nice to get some kind of encouragement to thank them for all they do.

Hard working fam

Hard working fam

They moved away so dad can get his PhD and are living away from all their family and friends. They have 3 kids and make sure they are very well taken care of, even though they sometimes forget to take care of themselves. They are doing so much so their kids can know if they put their minds to it, anything is possible. They are a first generation Mexican American family and they had it hard to get where they are.

Milk machine mama

Milk machine mama

My best friend has donated over 1,500 ounces of liquid gold aka breastmilk to hospitals and local babies in need all while feeding her own sweet girl and taking care of her two awesome sons, one who has special needs!

The miracle of baby Judah

The miracle of baby Judah

The Kardisco family struggled to get pregnant, adopted their son Ivyn and then in 2021 a miracle happened and had Judah in late summer 2022. Not even 2 weeks later, Judah was rushed to the hospital, and they learned that he is in renal failure. He was getting better and was home for 3 days, but has since been rushed back to the hospital. The Kardisco family is an inspiration, because they remain positive and fighting through all of life's troubles and could really use some love this holiday season.

Single mom with no help

Single mom with no help

I know this is pathetic to nominate my own family but I’m soo isolated and don’t have friends or family to nominate me. I’m a single mom of 6 kids the youngest is 4 months due to domestic violence and I have no support. I don’t have many friends. My daily is mentally I’ll it unsupportive. 2 of my sons are learning and behaviorally challenged. One is on disability and it’s a daily struggle. We. Currently have no car as ours broke down so walking in lots of Utah snow is hard!! Especially with a baby stroller.

For the love of kids

Nurse mom Military Dad

Nurse mom Military Dad

Alyssa is a longtime best friend of mine and a hardworking nurse who worked all during the pandemic while pregnant and with her new baby. Sam, her husband, is in the Coastguard and has been working away from home the majority of the year with little contact. Sam recently returned home and not even a few weeks later was reassigned out of state for the next 4 months. Alyssa has been doing motherhood all alone and deserves to be spoiled! Alyssa and Saylor love Tubby Todd and this would be the perfect gift to surprise her with this holiday season!

Micropremie Twins

Micropremie Twins

The Atwell-Hicks, Alex, Amanda inspire me because of their perseverance as parents to their beautiful twins, Audrey and Easton, who were born at 23 weeks as micro premies. After months in the NICU, the babies came home but both have medical issues that keep them in and out of the hospital. Alex and Amanda handle it with grace and love, and always put their adorable babies first and foremost. They have overcome so many scary moments and continue to make important medical decisions for their babies. Let’s celebrate them with some bathtime fun!

Hayashi's Home (Foster Family)

The Hayashi’s have always wanted to have children. After years of praying they became parents through another way, by becoming foster parents.They have opened their hearts and home and have had the blessing of loving over a dozen children. They have inspired me to hold on to hope and open my heart to those who desperately need to know they are loved. In April they they start a new adventure by welcoming their own miracle baby.

Rainbow After the Storm

Rainbow After the Storm

I am nominating my own family. We have been through a lot in the last year - a pregnancy loss, totaling our car, losing our home & moving in with family, and more. Then we were blessed with our rainbow baby & it opened my eyes to the beauty of going through the “storms” in life because they bring you to someplace beautiful if you just keep going. We may not have much, but we love each other & are happy. ❤️

Caring Family

Caring Family

They inspire me because they always go out of their way to help everyone else and make sure they're ok especially Brittney (Mom) she is the most kindhearted person you'll ever meet, she teaches her kid's to help others and give back and do right and she has a wonderful smile and is ALWAYS willing to help someone in need.. She does EVERYTHING for her kid's and anyone else's kids, she really LOVES kids but I think her family really deserves to win because they're a really wonderful family

Rainbow Baby

Rainbow Baby

The Waggoners have struggled with infertility all of 2022. They’ve had two miscarriages back to back and it nearly broke them. However, they remained hopeful and optimistic and finally received their double rainbow baby. They are due in June of 2023 and they have Tubby Todd on their registry. I think it would be amazing for them to receive a year of bathtime to check one more thing off of their registry! They deserve so much and I think they would really appreciate it.

New baby!

New baby!

Jenna is my sister and she is the best mom. She’s so loving and patient and understanding, watching her with her daughter always blows me away. I envy her patience, truly. They have another little girl on the way! I gifted them All Over Ointment and since then they have always wanted to try more! This would be such an amazing gift.

Amazing parents

Aaron and Olivia are amazing parents and give everything to their community. Aaron is a law enforcement officer working long hours, Olivia is a 2nd grade teacher devoted to her students and parents. They give back to their church and community every day. They have an amazing son Huxley who thanks to Tubby Todd no longer suffers from skin issues that he has had since a baby

Rising Kites

Rising Kites

The Grandholm Family started a wonderful non-profit called Rising Kites. It’s aim is to connect families with resources for children diagnosed with Downs Syndrome. After giving birth to Sammie in 2020, the Grandholms recognized few resources were readily available to help families navigate medical and financial struggles that may accompany a Down’s syndrome diagnosis. Rising kites provides free connect bag for families, doctors offices, and hospitals with information about resources in their state. They also use their website to provide a community of support! Danielle helps fund this nonprofit through a flower garden and multiple bouquet workshops that she offers!

Miracle Baby Due in March

Miracle Baby Due in March

My brother and sister in law are so deserving. After years of struggling to get pregnant and failed treatments, they took a chance on an embryo that the doctor’s said may not have a viable chance and that little embryo stuck! They will meet their miracle in May. During the Covid pandemic, my sister, a nurse, tended to Covid patients in the hospital on the frontlines. My brother organized an event to bring food/goodies to the hospital to show staff the appreciation from their community. They are so selfless and giving. I know they will make the BEST parents.

Daddy duo

What can I say other than I love this father daughter duo. He works very hard as a chef to provide for his 7 year old daughter. They're always happy and smiling when they're together and you can see the love

Dedicated single mom

April is a hard working single mom of 3, she works, goes to school and is there for her kids. April may not have much but what she does have she shares. As he kids out grow things instead of selling them she give to other single moms.she shares with families who have less then her. She loves her kids more then anything and one of her favorite things with them is bath time. All of her kids have sensitive skin and tubby Todd is the only soup they can use.

Always thinking of others

Always thinking of others

They always go above and beyond to help others as much as they can. In the past couple of years they have helped my family endure some of the roughest patches and helped provide clothing for my children when I was unable to. They never think twice to help anyone in need, and they now just had a baby of their own with sensitive skin who this would be perfect for.

 Eczema Support

Eczema Support

My sister Whitney and her husband Corey tried for years to get pregnant. Last year after two iuis she got pregnant with a little girl who was born in June. Maya has eczema just like her mama and tubby Todd has helped it more than anything else. My sister is a teacher and her husband is a stay at home dad. She works so hard to give to others families and it would be amazing to have her family blessed.

You are Stronger then You Know

You are Stronger then You Know

We don't know our power until the time comes to use it. This family has literally no support. Barry works 24 hours every other day. When he's off he spends his time with his family, meal preparing, to building his wife an office at home. Brandi stepped away form her dream job to work at home and to care for their daughters. It's alot but they never complain. They’re number one priority is their daughters. Because of your sacrifices I want you to know you will be reward and your best will always be good enough. You make impossible possible!

Fighting cancer story

Fighting cancer story

Right before baby Ryleighs first birthday her mom was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. They have been through so much these past 6 months and have been so strong through it all. They deserve all the extra love in the world!

Infertility to NICU hope!

Infertility to NICU hope!

My dear childhood friend Jenny had been told that because of medical complications she would never carry a child. She and her hubby Josh adopted their little boy, Israel about 2.5 years ago and then around a year ago found out they were pregnant with a miracle baby, Romi Praise. She was born with some intestinal issues and spent 2+ months in NICU but they have persevered bringing joy in the long, hard process. With ongoing complications this would be such a burden lifted in one area of caring for their sweet family!

RIVF Love is Love

RIVF Love is Love

Hnou is my sister who's married to Lucy for 3 years now after dating for over 13 years! Being Hmong there is no such thing as being in a same sex relationship or getting married but it was easy for us and Lucy's family to accept them. After, they bought a house (typical) and secretly worked on baby Whitney. He is a reciprocal invitro baby (Lucy's egg, Hnou carried). No one knew about the pregnancy until she was over 4 months pregnant! They had many complications but seeing these 2 create their family is extremally amazing.

My great grandchildren

My great grandchildren

My granddaughter has continued to help me as I get older and rapidly loose my sight. I know it can’t be easy as well as raising her own two kids. It is every grandparents dream to meet and love their great grandchildren so this would be such a great gift for them.

 The Miracle

The Miracle

The Williams’ consists of a mother, Stephonia is a mental health therapist who helps children. The father, Jevin is a contractor who fixes and repairs things. When they decided to have a child, they struggled and believed they wouldn’t have one naturally. Surprisingly, they got pregnant and though it was a rough pregnancy, and during labor baby boy and mom almost died, they are here and happier than ever. The family is always smiling and happy and you’d never know the struggle to have their son. They are always positive and happy and helping others!

Endlessly Giving

This family has 3 young children. Their mom, Dr. White, is the chief of staff at our rural access hospital. Their father is the only emergency room nurse. The parents continue to relentlessly give back to the community without asking for anything in return. The mother spends about 300+ days seeing patients in the hospital as we do not have a regular hospital doctor. Gino, the dad, is a caring, quick witted member of the community that gives comfort to any community member when coming to the ER. This family deserves a reminder of how special they truly are!

 Feeding SoCal

Feeding SoCal

Shawnee and Andre have been running a nonprofit for years that provides food and resources to their community in Santa Ana. During Covid they fed almost 3 million people with their grocery assistance program. 3 weeks after Shawnee had Asher, this October, she orchestrated their Halloween event for children. They have not received a salary or compensation for any of their full-time work, ever.

First time Mom

First time Mom

My sister has two babies in heaven and she now is able to hold her first baby this year. This would be a huge blessing to them. Her son uses your products due to his intensely dry skin. I hope they are nominated for this amazing giveaway!!

The micropreemie baby

The history of this family, especially Evelyn, makes me believe that miracles exist. She was born at only 24 weeks and the doctors did not have very good prognoses, but she was very strong. She's already been through 5 surgeries and she's such a brave girl. Right now, she is working to star walking because he has clubfoot due to amniotic band syndrome and it has been very difficult, but I know she will make it soon. My sister and brother-in-law have been there strong and with lots of love for my little niece. Here a picture of Evelyn

New Beginnings

Devanna’s story really begins when she was a young girl. She has seen so much loss and grief in her life starting with her mother. She has battled obstacle after obstacle and has overcome every hurdle. Devanna is a single mother to 3 wonderful children and is putting herself through school to obtain a degree in psychology. I commend her for her determination and motivation to be better for not only her children but herself. If anybody deserves this amazing gift it is Devanna and her kids. Please help this mama out!

A Brighter Love

A Brighter Love

The Arnwine Family inspires me because they reflect love in every area of their lives. They are an integral part of their community and they serve it in many ways. They always knew they would have biological and adopted children, and two times they were chosen by local birth parents to be the adoptive family. Their love simply shined brighter than anyone else’s. They are the proud parents of five beautiful children. Their home abounds with love, and they celebrate and find beauty in their chaos. They are true lights in our world and I am inspired by them daily.

Therapy and Rainbows

Therapy and Rainbows

Ashley and Taft have struggled with infertility for some time. They found out they were pregnant with their rainbow baby the day before meeting with a new fertility specialist after a previous loss and being told they have less than a 1% chance of conceiving without medical assistance. They now have two beautiful children, and Ashley has opened up a therapy practice where she works with women dealing with body image, trauma, depression, and much more. I’m in awe at how much she sacrifices to help other women with their mental health all while being a mom of miracles.

My close friend Nesha inspires me because she shows so much love to each person she interacts with while being an amazing mother to three kids, two of them being TWINS, with her fourth child on the way. She truly is the definition of a superwoman, better yet superMOM, and an inspiration to any mom that interacts with her. She deserves all the good coming her way, especially this holiday season. ♥️

A rough pregnancy journey to a beautiful birth

A rough pregnancy journey to a beautiful birth

The Byers family inspires me because of their willingness to keep going despite of their challenges. Sarah Byers during pregnancy experienced kidney stones, Covid, anemia, hypermesis, and the loss of her job due to her health struggles. Two weeks after giving birth she was having gallbladder attacks but still fought through it to take care of her little one. The journey wasn’t easy for them but they managed to overcome and take care of their beautiful little girl, Bentley.

Itchy Itchy Baby Skin!

Itchy Itchy Baby Skin!

Anyone who has a baby/child with eczema knows the struggle! The worry, the tears, the sleepless nights and the money spent on the endless products that you think may help. Finally-Tubby Todd!

Covid start to motherhood

Covid start to motherhood

I’ve known Anissa since I was 15, I’m 32 now.She’s my fiancé’s only sister & the past two years I’ve watched her not only start a family but bring two beautiful babies into this world right at the start of the pandemic in 2020 with her son & again in 2022 with the my god daughter.Covid took so many moments away from her, from our family. She had to navigate motherhood on such a different level that only moms who gave birth during this time can relate to.She deserves her flowers & mom street cred forsure🤍

1 out of 1000's+

1 out of 1000's+

I’m nominating my family, well my fiancé and son really. As first time parents we didn’t know what to choose. My fiancé was going insane trying to find the right product for our son. He had baby acne and has sensitive skin. Out of the thousand options there are in Walmart, Target, on Amazon, & many other stores she chose your brand. A brand she felt was real, authentic, true to themselves and your ingredients and would be safe to use on our baby. Safe to say our son loves it! Thank you Tubby Todd x1000!

Extra Bubbly Love Needed

Extra Bubbly Love Needed

The Cipra family has two precious little girls (Reecey-6 & Eilla-3) who could use some extra bubbly love this extremely difficult year with the unexpected loss of their dad last April. This holiday season has been difficult and heart wrenching without their dad. If any sweet family deserves a little giving it’s this group of sweet girls. Kirby, their mother, works hard in their local school community always volunteering at the girls schools and chairing committees, even still through this tragedy. They have kept their heads high and little spirits bright as they face their new norm. PICK THEM! :)

My aunt Kelly is a super mom. She has 4 kids ranging from 1-9 and goes above and beyond to make sure they are protected, happy and loved despite hard circumstances.

I would go as far as saying changed the lives of more than 4,000 moms and families. She started this group after she was dealing with PPD and PPA after her son Ryder was born 2 months early and had a long NICU stay. Through the group she founded moms all across the island are able to find support, encouragement.

She has been hospitalized for 36 days, during every bath time she has been using her Tubby Todd products and this has given us so much joy to see her smile. Her mother? Hilary, has been by her side the whole time through all the tears and heartache. We can’t wait to be home and out of the hospital

 The Japchae Family

The Japchae Family

Having had a tough last stretch of pregnancy, Grace handled her delivery with Noah Kai with just that: grace. Cides, being the loving father that he is, and knowing that delivery was handled solely by his partner, he decided to start a blog about fatherhood, later evolving into a book that he got published. As first time parents, their love for one another built their will as parents to ensure that Noah Kai have the best first few months on this earth. Although simple, I appreciate their “head first” attitude into parenthood.

I have taught with Judy at Valencia HS for 16 years and have been privileged to see her meet, fall in love, and marry a wonderful man like AJ (who does altruistic work for the Cold Case Foundation). Judy is not only a super teacher, but also a certified therapist - she works two jobs and supports her elderly parents. and in 2020 became a mother to her and AJ's son, Kash (a precocious, wonderful kid who lights up a room). They are an interracial couple (he's Hispanic/White & she's Chinese) who truly embraces each other's cultures.

My sister and her family have been such a huge blessing to myself and others for years! Since they first married, they took in my brother, then myself after my parents divorced, then my dad when he lost the house. They’ve had 3 kids since then and are pregnant with #4 in March! They have a small home, but opened it to us when we needed it. They treat my boys like their own, and she’s the best Mama I know! They deserve this SO much! They are so selfless, and so compassionate toward others! They need this :)

The twins

The Little Engine That Could

The Little Engine That Could

I’m nominating our family (if that’s even possible) because I unexpectedly got laid off in October and we could really use some sort of good news! At the moment, I’m very much the little engine that could. Staying positive for our little one with ‘I think I can, I think I can’ when feeling down about the long job search process. It’s especially tough with the holidays but all we can do is keep chugging along! We’ve used Tubby Todd since our son Luke was born in June 2021 and they’ve been staples for us and his daily routines.

Bills before needs

Bills before needs

This hard working mom continued to work as a nurse on a Covid floor for the last two years. I know she uses your products for her 2 and 3 year old as they were the OnLy thing that helped their skin as well as her own after taking off two masks. The products are good and helpful, but out of hee budget regularly having the three kids and bills. If anyone deserves this, it is them!

Bath time is the best time

Bath time is the best time

Lukey Parker was diagnosed as a toddler with a rare genetic diagnosis which was identified through delays in his development like walking and running on his own. He often needs assistance for mobility and play. His family has worked so hard with him while being compassionate in his care and his most favorite time to just enjoy being a kiddo is bath time when he can just play and bath activities help him with his development and therapies too!

Mother's Strength

Mother's Strength

This Mama is not only my best friend, but my sister by choice. She had to take on a role that put her in a position to become vulnerable but she never cracked! She became a single Mama of 2 & had to turn her world around by becoming the full time care taker & provider of her family. He daughter & son are thee sweetest kids ever. Sanai, her daughter has the personality of a star and Kyrie is the sweetest most caring boy. She deserves this & so much more.

Every child deserves a fun bath

My son attends a public school in Michigan. In his class, he has made a friend who came to the US this summer from Jamaica. This family could definitely use some extra help this season. This child always has a smile on his face. He works so hard and I’m so proud of Matthews grit. He and his mother face daily obstacles to ensure he attends school daily.fun and relaxing bath products that we take for granted on a daily basis would be such an awesome gift for this family to be surprised with.

Hope Vibes

Hope Vibes

Adrienne and Emmanuel Threatt are the founders of a nonprofit called Hope Vibes in Charlotte, NC. Hope Vibes exists to develop creative exit strategies for those experiencing homelessness in Charlotte. This includes the Hope Tank, which brings on-truck showers and washers/dryers to homeless communities. These two are so giving of their time and resources to help people get on their feet. Now, as they're preparing to welcome their 3 rainbow babies, I can't think of a better way to support Adrienne and Emmanuel to thank them for all they do for our community.

The Anderson Family told us they were jumping into the world of fostering when we vacationed together with our littles in 2021. We were so excited to hear that "J" was placed into their home in January of 2022 and when we get together, our lives are forever enriched because we have gotten to know her. The Anderson's have continually poured into her life, creating a safe environment for her to learn, grow, and most importantly be a kid. We look forward to many more adventures with their family and couldn't think of a more deserving/inspirational family.

We need bubbles

We need bubbles

They’ve gone through a lot from learning each others languages to crossing borders in order to be a family!

Moyamoya Warrior

Moyamoya Warrior

This family has had their world turned upside down after their son, Thomas was diagnosed with Moyamoya. Since his diagnosis he has undergone 6 brains surgeries and multiple strokes. They are both educators in their community and Rob(dad) is a high school football coach. Despite everything Thomas continues to fight and grows stronger every day. His parents continue to dedicate everything to meet his medical needs. This family deserves a special something to brighten the coming New Year.

MED SCHOOL FAMILY

MED SCHOOL FAMILY

My cute brother and his wife just got accepted into med school. They have a one year old daughter who is the most amazing little girl- as you can imagine, med school debt is a little outrageous, and I'd love to help eliminate some debt and stress for them this next year.

Spinal cord injury warrior

Spinal cord injury warrior

Ashley suffered a sudden spinal cord injury in April where she couldn’t feel from her chest down. She had to leave her baby girl to go to intense rehab & worked her booty off to get to where she is now- back home.. Being a mama. Being a teacher. Being a coaches wife. No matter her physical limitations she has pushed through so much to live a new type of “normal” life for her and is so inspiring for all.. but especially for her little girl who kept her motivated all those weeks away from her.

A Family of Kindness

A Family of Kindness

I'd like to nominate this family because they truly inspire my husband & I to always be true to ourselves & to never stop seeking God. The Sandoval family went through a year of changes (had babygirl Mila, moved to a different home & became official pastors). Now parents of 2 beautiful babies they have some very challenging days but they never cease to make others happy and share the love of God with them. Truly such a powerful, humble & loving family! Mama Karol could use good products to help their babies relax at the end of the day:)

Triple the love

Triple the love

Kaitlin is a dear friend of mine. She and I are both due with our firsts in the new year :) We are both social workers and dedicate our lives to serving those more vulnerable. Kaitlin is being blessed with triplets and is now on bed rest. These triplets could really use some Tubby Todd goodies to welcome them into this world with our help! Thank you so much for considering this lovely family/dear friends of mine.

 The story of a warrior

The story of a warrior

I’m nominating one of my best friends, Amanda Baldwin. Amanda inspires me everyday to be the best mom I can possibly be. This family is incredibly hardworking and I could not think of anyone more deserving of this gift. The Baldwin family has been through some trying times. About 3 years ago, Amanda gave birth to a beautiful baby boy and baby girl at 24 weeks. Both of these babies were so strong but their baby girl passed away from medical complications. Amanda has been so strong over the years and is the best mother I know.

Babies building community

Babies building community

Since their oldest was 1, the Thomas family has hosted a diaper drive to support families in their community. Each year since 2018, they have collected thousands of diapers to help other babies — as their oldest puts it, “helping the peoples.” I’d love to recognize them and give back a little of the love they give out to their neighbors.

The best family on the journey to adopting baby #2

The best family on the journey to adopting baby #2

I couldn’t think of a more deserving family. Jana and Eli are our two best friends and they truly are the sweetest and most selfless people. Jana suffers from a lifetime of chronic illnesses which prevented her from having biological children. They adopted their sweet boy, James and they would love to adopt another baby soon. Jana is the most hardworking person I know. She’s basically bedridden most days but still found a way to start her own business. Eli has been the most supportive husband. Even on their hardest days, they still find ways to be there for others.

Military family

Military family

I met them through my husband. My spouse and both of them are in the army. They have always been there for us. Especially when our first was born. They brought over formula during the shortage and other items. They are currently pregnant with their third child. Being a parent in the army is very difficult. Not only is the pay low, but you’re constantly having to be away from your family. I would love for them to win this. Thank you.

 Super Mom

Super Mom

My friend Mayra is a single mom to three beautiful girls all under 4 years old. She is always positive and gentle despite not having much help.I only have one child and I have no idea how she does it all as a super mom. She works full time and cares for the girls solely. Mayra is always there for everyone else when needed. Her and her girls can brighten up my day and make my life better simply by being them.

Two Under Two

Two Under Two

This family inspires me because from when their son was 6 weeks old (He is now 2) they have been battling how to handle his severe eczema and food allergies that give him skin flare up. His mom is always so gracious and has a smile on her face that you wouldn’t know that they are struggling to help manage his breakouts. Tubby Todd would be such a wonderful gift to such a sweet family who is expecting their second little one right around Christmas time!

Two miracles, iUI and surprise baby

Two miracles, iUI and surprise baby

My sister struggled with miscarriages and infertility for seven years before undergoing IUI and having her first daughter. Her second daughter came a year and a half later as a natural surprise! Her littlest daughter Nadia struggles with eczema every single day and it is a challenge to find products that work. My sister is a stay at home mom who puts together monthly mom walks in San Diego to bring moms together who need love and support.

A Story of Loss & Strength

A Story of Loss & Strength

Josh is my brother in law. He and his wife, Alexa, lost their baby unexpectedly at 25 weeks pregnant due to severe spina bifida. It has been a challenging year for them. This loss came shortly after they moved states. They inspire me & many others - as they are two incredible parents to their 2 other children, Luke and Michaela. They truly deserve extra Tubby Love this year!

Above and beyond

Above and beyond

I would like to nominate the Szucs family (Marty, Rachel and baby Lily). They constantly continue to go above and beyond in helping all those around them while trying to manage as working parents, with no family located nearby. Earlier this year, with the impacts of Covid, Marty who is a schoolteacher, volunteered to film, edit and put together a Christmas concert for the children who had been left out from celebrating with their families for three years. He put endless hours outside of his work while his wife continued to work and keeping their little one happy and healthy.

Light in a dark tunnel

Light in a dark tunnel

This family inspires me because they are always a light to others. They spread love by committing time to donate and run a Charity organization for others. They are always uplifting others on their podcast and radio stations. This family gives in every capacity and this would be such a blessing to them.

The Daughter

The Daughter

The Wheelwright’s are the most incredible people! They are always so kind and thoughtful. They have a young daughter with spina bifida who is the sweetest, most adorable girl you will ever meet. They had an ectopic pregnancy last year, and are now expecting another sweet baby in June! They have been so positive through all the hardships they’ve endured and still reach out and serve others. With all the cost and time it takes to care for their little girl, they could never be happier. They are the most amazing examples of good, kind parents and people.

Clam Shack Friends

Clam Shack Friends

This year I nominate the Pascale family as they inspire me to be a better parent and friend. The pascale family is compromised of Derek(a local fisherman), Justine (a school social worker) and their daughters Addelyn and Eloise. As a 15yo kid I would never have imagined that a friend from a summer job would become such a pillar of support for me and my family. Justine and her girls have been by our side through the last 2years as we struggled to start our family. Now that we finally have a littleone they madesure we were Tubbytodd family too.

Bathtime is familytime

Bathtime is familytime

My little sister is a wonderful mom of 3 kids 5 and under. COVID was hard on ther family causing her to move states and have to start working along with her husband to make ends met. She has had to ask her dad for help watching the kids so they can both work. Bathtime is a rare moment everyone is together getting washed up and tucked in. It’s really the only time the 6 of them are together lately. I gifted them your products as my nieces and nephew get terrible bleeding cracked skin-these products are a blessing

It Takes a Village to Raise a Child

It Takes a Village to Raise a Child

As a new mom trying to learn and grow our little one, the Khuongs have really helped us along the way to provide a safe and fun environment for our babygirl! From daily check-ins to holding her while we eat, the list is endless. It truly takes a village and I’m grateful they are apart of mine.

Starting new

Starting new

Fresh out of the Marine Corps this young family is adjusting to civilian life and it isn’t an easy transition. Baby girl has extremely sensitive skin like her daddy & your products work best for her. They’re hard working and doing their best but a huge blessing like this could really help them.

Will never be a lone

Will never be a lone

The Gonzalez Family consists of 6 members, mom, dad and 4 beautiful children. The amount of love and gratitude that I have for them is incredible. The Gonzalez family serves as a lifeline to whom I can run to whenever I need to. What ever may the situation be, I know I can always count on them. Being surrounded by them helps me pass all the struggles and hardships that I may face in my daily life. Whatever may be the situation I am facing, I know that the Gonzalez family will never leave me alone.

Running on Empty

Running on Empty

I am nominating my wife. She’s gives everything to our family. She quit her job to raise our boys. Last year we had a baby with Down syndrome wifi came with many medical complexities including hospital stays and surgeries. She has persisted through it all, making sure everyone is takes care of and feels loved. Bath time is so fun in our house as all 3 boys still climb into the tub with mom lol they deserve and would love some special bath products from this company that she loves.

Epilepsy Journey

My 10 month old niece Eleanor started having seizures on Oct 23 and has been hospitalized since then. They are having trouble pinpointing why she is having seizures and they are not controlled with medications thus far, she started keto diet this week and it seems to be helping some and is so happy now! Her favorite part of the week is getting her EEG off for bath time! My sister has Tubby Todd products on her Christmas list, this would be a huge help and a small piece of luxury in the dark days.

Best family ever

Best family ever
