Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Toys Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Melissa & Doug Home

Boy, were my kids excited when we received a big box from Melissa and Doug the other day.  It was chock full of Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks sand toys. Today, while the little one and my husband were off on errands, Ethan and I decided to take everything for a test drive at the sand table.  We received four great sand play sets:

1. Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Cupcake Set

What fun, now you can make cupcakes at the beach or sandbox.  This great 12 piece set includes cupcake pan, hard plastic cupcake liners, cup cake topper molds, hinged cupcake mold, icing tool for decorating and a mesh bag to hold it all.   This set was so much fun, we made cupcake after cupcake, topping them with the different shaped molds, using the hinged mold to make free standing cupcakes and just having a blast.

2. Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand Baking Set

This sand baking set includes 3 nesting shell shaped measuring cup scoops, crab mixing spoon, octopus whisk, mixing bowl and turtle sifting top.  Everything stores in the mixing bowl and the turtle sand sifter doubles as a secure top.  This set is loads of fun.  We scooped up sand with the shell shaped measuring cups added that to the mixing bowl, gave it a stir and a whisk and we were ready to fill the cupcake liners.  Ethan loved filling the spoon and measuring cups and releasing them in his hand.  He was so proud to have made little cakes he could hold.  We also talked about the different sizes of the measuring cups and which holds the most and other learning concepts.

3.Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Clicker Crab Pail and Shovel

This bright colored crab sand pail and crab sand scoop are great fun.  Crab bucket has a super sturdy handle for carrying loads of sand, shells, or both.  Crab scoop allows you to get large amounts of sand in one scoop.  Perfect for sand castle building or just plain digging in the sand.

4.Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks Sand-Molding Set

This great set of molds provides hours of fun.  From a large turtle to a small seahorse you will have fun filling, smoothing and unmolding these molds.  Set includes turtle, fish, crab, starfish and little seahorse that all nest and store inside the turtle.

We had so much fun with these sand toys this afternoon and we went back and played again this evening.  I love the high quality of these sand toys, they are built to last.  Do you think these Sunny Patch sand toys look like a lot of fun?  Then you will be thrilled to know that Melissa & Doug are sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win all four of these great Melissa & Doug Sunny Patch Seaside Sidekicks sand toys.  Thank you Melissa & Doug for the review toys and for sponsoring this awesome give-away!!!

ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent Patio Lantern Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent a ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent Patio Lantern to review.  It is so nice to be outside in the nice weather, but mosquitoes and black flies can make things miserable.  This patio lantern is up to 98% effective at repelling black flies, mosquitoes, and other flying nuisances. When you’re choosing mosquito lamps or bug repellent lights for your patio, consider the benefits of this dual-function outdoor lantern bugs hate.  We set it up and used it on the deck at night when mosquitoes see to be the most annoying.  We were able to eat outside and enjoy the evening without the bugs.  The lantern cast a nice light and is a very attractive piece.

  • Effective protection from pests: Keeps away up to 98% of mosquitoes and other pests within a 15 x15-foot area, the size of an average patio or deck
  • Safe: No open flames or hot wax, no DEET, approved by U.S. EPA
  • Comfortable: No smelly lotions, sprays, or oils
  • Convenient: Attractive size, portable, lightweight
  • Quiet: Silent operation
  • Dual-function: Repellent and light features can be used together or separately
  • Ideal for backyards, decks, picnics, barbecues, camping, and outdoor parties
  • Mosquito repellent operates on a single butane cartridge (included)
    • The butane warms an insect repellent mat that releases allethrin
    • Allethrin is a synthetic copy of a natural repellent found in pyrethrum flowers, a member of the chrysanthemum family
  • 4 LED lights have “low” and “high” illumination settings; lights operate on 4 AA batteries (not included)
  • Decorative design for patio and backyard entertaining
  • Contains: 1 reusable Mosquito Repellent Patio Lantern, 1 butane cartridge (lasts up to 12 hours), 3 insect repellent mats (lasts up to 4 hours each)
  • Refills sold separately

So would you like a chance to win one of these great lanterns?   Then you will be excited to learn that ThemaCELL is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own ThermaCELL Mosquito Repellent Patio Lantern.  Thank you ThermaCELL for the review lantern and for sponsoring this awesome give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!

Diggin Active, NEW Rock ‘n’ Rolla Moo Cow 2 in 1 Rocker/Ride On Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Diggin Active contacted me recently and asked if I would like to review a new product for them.  When I saw the Rock ‘n’ Rolla Moo Cow, I said yes in a hurry.  This is such a cute toy.  The cow itself is inflatable like a rubber ball and they provide the needle you need to pump it up, with a ball or tire pump.  They also give you the wrench you need to attach the  wheels and that is stored in the base of the cow.  They have really thought of everything to help make things easy for assembly.  Luke wanted to put the wheels on right away, so we did and this is such a fun scooter type ride on.  The cow has soft handles for little ones to hold on as the scoot around.  The multi-directional wheels spin 360 degrees for loads of fast scooting fun!!!  The base of the scooter is contoured to be furniture friendly in your home.  Can be used outdoors and in.  Maximum rider weight is 55 lbs.

Chef’n Herb’n Shear Set Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Recently, I was asked to choose a Chef’n product to review.  I have to admit, it was hard to chose, after looking at all their great products.  Since I love gardening and growing my own herbs, I chose the Herb’n Shear Set.  I had never seen an item like this and thought it would be great for chopping up all the fresh herbs we use when cooking.

It came the other day and I could not be happier with it.  The quad blade herb chopper makes chopping herbs easy and fun.  It feels great in your hand with the nice rubber grip and the included bamboo bowl is great to chop and serve in.  You can also use these versatile herb choppers on a regular cutting board.  I highly recommend this Herb’n Shear Set if you like to use fresh herbs in your cooking.

Jollys Garden Shoes and Clogs Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I spend a lot of time outdoors and in my garden.  Mud and dirt just come with the territory when gardening.  I was thrilled when I connected with Jollys and I was asked to pick a pair of shoes to review.  I chose the black ladies fashion clog and I just love them.  They are great for working outside but look so nice, you can just go from the garden to your errands in town without changing shoes.  They are super easy to clean and  so comfortable.  I went up a size even though I have narrow feet but they seem to run a bit small for me at least, so the size up was great.  The clogs have great traction and are super easy to slip on and off in a hurry.  Jollys has lots of different styles and colors for men and women.  Garden clogs offer the durability of work boots with the ease of slippers.

So what do you think?  Would you like a chance to win a pair of your choice of Jolly Garden Shoes and Clogs?  Good, because Jollys is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One of our lucky blog readers will win a pair of Jollys clogs or shoes of their choice.  Thank you Jollys Garden Shoes and Clogs for the review pair of clogs and this awesome give-away!!!

HearthSong, Magz Construction Set Review and $50 Gift Certificate Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Recently, I was asked to select a product to review from HearthSong.  HearthSong is a company I have a long history with.  In today’s world some companies open today and close tomorrow, but I can tell you from experience, HearthSong is a company with staying power.  As the mother of 5 children who range in age from young adults to toddlers, I have been purchasing through HearthSong for a very long time.  Their selection of unique, imaginative and constructive toys have always been one of the best I have seen.  The fact that many years later they are still as much of a go to company as when my older children were toddlers, shows that they have stood the test of time and they are a reputable company you can trust.

I chose to review the 280 piece Magz Construction Set.  Magnets are so much fun and we especially love them in this house, so I knew this would be a hit for kids and adults.  When we received the package we could not wait to open it up.

We emptied all the pieces into a plastic tub and the fun began!!!

As you can see we had a ball and I want to let you know we do not let the children play with these unsupervised.  When we take the plastic tub out that is stored out of reach when not in use, we all sit down and play with the kids.  These are not recommended for children under 3 and caution should be used with any child who puts things in their mouth regardless of age.

One of the best things about Magz is that the magnets are strong.  A major complaint I hear of magnetic construction toys is that the magnets are not strong and the creations fall apart with a tap or less.  I can tell you our creations were able to be manipulated and held in all sorts of ways without falling apart.  HearthSong has such a great selection and you are sure to find something any child will adore.  Other items you can find on HearthSong are: Backyard Safari Sets, Personalized Chef Apron & Hat, Connectagons Treetop and much more.
