Minky Couture Blanket Review, Give-Away and 35% Off Discount Code!!! {Give-Away Ended}

My little Luke is a true blanket baby.  He is never far from his blankie and he has very good taste.  His special blanket is a soft minky plush like blanket. I have been unable to find anything that comes close to what it feels like.  Well, I was recently asked to pick a Minky Couture blanket to review.  I picked the Crew: bright orange, blue and yellow polk-a-dot minky blanket in tween size.  This blanket looked very close to the kind of blanket my son loves so I was very hopeful when I ordered it.  Well, it did not disappoint.  It was so soft, the printed side was just the kind of plush my son loves and the minky side is so soft and cozy.  The blanket is nice and large and a great weight to keep your child warm.  I put it on the rail of his crib and when he came out of the bath and saw it, he exclaimed, “That’s mine!” A quick touch and he was hooked, he kept saying, “This is nice.”  This is really a super blanket and they come in a variety of sizes for babies to adults.  I am thinking that a couple of the Monster Minky blankets for the couch would be very cozy this winter.  The blankets are not only beautiful, they are so soft and comfortable.  There is such a great selection of styles you are sure to find something you love. You can even create a custom Minky Couture Blanket if there is something special you want.


I am thrilled to let you know that Minky Couture is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win an infant size blanket. Thank you Minky Couture for the review blanket and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!! As an extra special perk Minky Couture is offering a special discount code for Mommy Rambling’s readers.  Use code minky2011bs for a 35% off discount on the Website.  Thank you Minky Couture, you rock!!!

Rowdy Sprout Rocker Tee Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Our little ones have developed a love of rock music through their guitarist father.  My husband is probably the king of rocker tees and since our kids were babies we have loved dressing them in rocker shirts and tees.  They love them as well and request them when we are getting them dressed.  So you can imagine I was thrilled to connect with Rowdy Sprout.  For review we were sent 2 Allman Brothers long sleeve tees.  My husband has the same tee so this was great because they all like to go out wearing the same rocker tees.  These tees are super soft and tagless for supreme comfort.  With graphics on front and back they are sure to make a hit coming and going.  These tees are a great way for your child to express great musical taste.  We always get compliments on our rocker tees.  Rowdy sprout has a great selection of clothing for boys and girls.  You are sure to find some great styles and artists that your child will love.

Designer and colorful entrepreneur Laura Angotti established Rowdy Sprout in 2003.  Rowdy Sprout began as a “side project” while Laura achieved her graduate degree in costume design. At the time she became inspired by a children’s shop that was owned by one of her good friends in New York City. With her carefree and fun-loving attitude for walking a different path, Laura knew that she had to do something extraordinary. Deciding to flip the coin from previous triumphs in museum installations, Laura officially graced the children’s fashion industry and took root with innovative and fresh concepts.

Rowdy Sprout can be found in over 600 boutiques nationwide and has extended to International buyers including Dublin, Paris, and Barcelona. The company has even found admiration by extensive celebrity clientele including Angelina Jolie and Julia Roberts. Each band represented has been properly licensed and will enjoy the benefit of royalties for each garment sold.

I am excited to let you know that Rowdy Sprout is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a rocker tee in their choice of style/size based on availability.  Thank you Rowdy Sprout for the review tees and for sponsoring this rockin’ give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US Residents Only.

Bright Starts Comfort and Harmony Cozy Cart Cover Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent a Bright Starts Comfort and Harmony Cozy Cart Cover in Calypso Blue to review. I love using cart covers because I hate putting my child in a germy shopping cart. The problem with some cart covers are that they are not large enough, getting them on is a hassle and they slip off. I do not want to fight with a cart cover. There are other covers that only cover the front handle of the cart and not the sides. I never understood that. Are the sides less germy that you don’t mind your baby sucking on them? So I was thrilled to find this cover is huge. I also really like the material which is like almost a water-resistant kind of fabric that wipes clean and is so easy to care for. I own a lot of cart covers and I have to tell you, I have never seen any with the finishing on the leg holes that this cover has. I was so impressed, it covered everything and had wide holes for my toddler’s feet. I tested it out on a long grocery shopping trip and the cover never slipped once, even with an inquisitive toddler inside. It is really padded and super comfy. Luke liked it a lot and never once wanted to get out. This versatile cover even works great on restaurant high chairs and if it gets messy, it is machine washable. I really like this shopping cart/high cover that keeps my child safe from germs in style.

Features:

  • 3 storage pockets for stashing essentials while on-the-go
  • Sewn in loops for attaching baby’s favorite toys
  • Machine washable
  • Covers the entire shopping cart seat and restaurant high chair for the ultimate comfort and protection

I am thrilled to let you know that Bright Starts is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will win their own Bright Starts Comfort and Harmony Cozy Cart Cover in Calypso Blue. Thank you Bright Starts for the review cart cover and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US Residents.

Smart Mom Teething Bling Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

My baby is in the midst of teething, so he is constantly chewing on things, fingers, blankets, toys, shoulders, and whatever else he can get his hands on! So I was thrilled when I was sent some Smart Mom Teething Bling to review! The packaging and jewelry itself is absolutely gorgeous! I was sent the jade and brown gift set, the colors complement each other nicely and are cute by themselves as well! The pendant is great for my baby when he is sitting on my lap, he can grab it easily, and it is the perfect size and shape for him to hold onto and put into his mouth, but not so small he could fit the whole thing in. The first time I offered it to him, he knew exactly what to do with it, and right into his mouth it went! He loves chewing on it, and when he is upset, he usually calms down once he has it in his chubby little grip. As I am writing this, he is playing with it and talking to it!  The bangles will be awesome for shopping, I usually have something on my wrist to keep him busy with while I shop, so these will work perfectly for that.  Sometimes I just give him the bangles by themselves when he is sitting on the floor looking for something to chew on, and he can safely play with them.  This pendant and bangles are stylish imposters, since they look so cute, people might think they are just jewelry!  When my sister saw me wearing the pendant, she complimented me on it, and was surprised when I told her it was teething jewelry.
The Smart Mom Teething Bling is made with baby-safe silicone which is free of harmful chemicals such as phthalates, BPAs, PVCs, lead or latex. They are CPSIA compliant and their materials are federally approved. You can be sure that they take all the safety precautions to make their jewelry safe for you and your baby.
These gift sets are perfect for baby shower gifts, you can even personalize them by having a special message written on a gift card, or writing it yourself on a blank gift card they include in the package!  We love our new Smart Mom Teething Bling, and I am sure it will continue to be a favorite!
I am thrilled to let you know that Smart Mom Jewelry is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a shimmer pendant of their choice.  Thank you Smart Mom for the review teething bling and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  Open to US and Canadian residents.

Dinosoles 3D Sculpted Footwear Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I recently connected with Dinosoles Footwear.  Chris generously sent me 2 pair of 3D Sculpted Footwear in the T-Rex LT Black style for my boys.  From the moment I took these out of the boxes, my boys were in awe.  We could not get them on their feet fast enough, and once on, they did not want to take them off.  Luke did not take them off until it was time to actually get in his crib, and he had to have them right next to him and  put them on immediately upon waking up in the morning.  He would have slept in them if we let him.  Ethan proudly wore them to his first day of pre-school and they made quite a hit.  There are so many features of these shoes that kids just love.  The sculpted 3D dinosaur, the lights, the Velcro straps for easy on and off, add that to the fact they feel great and provide wonderful support and you have the recipe for footwear that kids love.   These shoes are so detailed even down to the soles, where they are decorated with the styling of a dino foot.  Everything about these shoes is fun and we are hooked.  I am glad they have sizes up to 2 because I know my boys will be sad when their feet grow and we will be purchasing bigger sizes.  If you are looking for a great shoe that your little boy will love, look no further then Dinosoles.

I am so excited to let you know that Dinosoles is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky reader will win a pair of 3D footwear in their style/size of choice based on availability.  Thank you Dinosoles for the review footwear and for sponsoring this Dinotastic give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US and Canadian residents.

Water Wear Swim Trunks, Swim Diaper Cover & Sun Hat Review and Give-Away!!! Give-Away Ended!!!

I know, you may think it is the end of summer and why would I be posting a review of a swim diaper cover and sun hat.  Even though, summer is sadly winding down, that does not mean the need for safe pool wear and sun protection is not needed.  Many people take vacations in the fall and winter in warmer climates and many kids take swim classes at indoor pools year round.

I was sent a Swim Trunks, Swim Diaper Cover and Sun Hat for my 2 year old from iplay Water Wear.  Both items are UPF 50+ sun protection, meet US safety standards and are quick dry.  Swim diapers help prevent any accidents in babies and toddlers who are still in diapers when they are swimming.  While you may think that an accident may just be embarrassing, the fact is that it is a health issue involving waterborne illness.  More and more pools are now requiring a swim diaper cover over a disposable swim diaper.  Swim diaper covers fit snugly around legs and waist.  These trunks are also comfortable and look like regular swim trunks.

The sun hat I was sent provided great sun protection and had a wide brim to keep sun off Luke’s face.  It has nice ties to keep the hat secure even on windy days.  Luke liked this hat so much he actually wanted to wear it to bed.  He finally settled for just taking it to bed with him.  Sun protection is so important, it is great to find protective clothing and hats that are stylish, comfortable and your child likes to wear.

I am thrilled to tell you that Water Wear is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a swim diaper cover in the size and style of their choice.  Thank you Water Wear for the review items and for sponsoring this awesome give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US Residents.

VeggieTales DVD, “Princess and the Pop Star” Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent the VeggieTales DVD, “Princess and the Pop Star” A Story of Trading Places, to review.  Last weekend, I popped it in for the kids to watch with us.  This family-friendly title teaches an important lesson about being yourself.  Princess Poppyseed, lives on her family’s farm and never has time to herself.  She has a big family and she longs for the life of Pop Star Vanna Banana.  Meanwhile Vanna is upset with how lonely her life is and how she wishes she had brothers and sisters.  On a chance meeting at the playground Vanna and Princess change places and the girls both realize, that the life that they longed for doesn’t fulfill all their dreams.  The girls learn that the life that God gave them is the life that they were uniquely and lovingly designed for.

DVD features the new song, “You Never Are” from Dove Award winning Female Vocalist of the Year, Francesca Battistelli.

This is such a great DVD that tells the story that the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.  My boys loved all the singing and cute characters.  As a parent I like that this DVD shows kids that just because another person’s life seems better, does not mean it is.  The songs and the story are entertaining and it is a great family movie.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xO5IQZflx4]

DVD Bonus Features:

  • Audio Commentary
  • “Astonishing Wigs” Silly Songs Sing-Along
  • “Right Where You Belong” Sing-Along
  • Behind the music with Francesca Battistelli and Friends
  • Princess Poppyseed’s Points For Being Uniquely You

I am happy to tell you that Big Idea Entertainment is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own DVD of, “Princess and the Pop Star.”  Thank you Big Idea Entertainment for the review DVD and for sponsoring this family friendly give-away on Mommy Rambling!!!  Open to US Residents.

Frecklebox Lunch Box and Sticker Review & $30 Gift Card Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I recently picked some items to review from Frecklebox.  Frecklebox is the place to shop for personalized gifts for kids.  I chose the personalized lunch box and personalized stickers to review.  I received my items very quickly.  I chose the lunch box in the rockstar style and had it personalized for Ethan.  I knew the lunch box would be a hit because his favorite color is green, he loves guitars and it would have his name on it.  I was not wrong, this box is great.  I really like that it has a chalkboard in the inside of the lid.  What a great way to leave your child a note everyday.  These lunch boxes are not just for lunch, they make perfect boxes for your child to store special things. Also makes a nice little traveling box your child can pack with toys or small games for the car, play dates, or going out to eat.  Ethan’s name is on the front and the back and each side so there is no mistaking that it is his.

I then chose some personalized stickers for Luke and Ethan.  For Ethan I chose the “cool kid” stickers to coordinate with his lunch box and for Luke I chose the “Camping Out” stickers because they were so cute and Luke loves to find bugs and other critters outside all the time.  I was very happy with the stickers, they were bright and great quality and large, so they really stand out in the crowd.

I am very impressed with the selections of personalized gifts at Frecklebox.  You can find notebooks, binders, posters, piggy banks, placemats, chore charts, wall art and much more.   You can get some great quality unique gifts for the kids in your life.

I am thrilled to let you know that Frecklebox is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a $30 Gift Card to Frecklebox.  Thank you Frecklebox  for the review products and for sponsoring this awesome give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!

I was able to just load the discs and immediately start creating fun projects.  There are so many templates, graphics and ideas that it can be quite addicting.  One of the first things I made with this was my blog signature, which was so fast and simple.  I love making scrapbook pages that can be printed and framed to commemorate a special day or event.  It is so easy to embellish and personalize the templates and in mere minutes you have a beautiful creation.

This software is so great because at any time you can create a great project.  I love to be able to make my kids special certificates to celebrate special events like the first day of school, losing a tooth, being potty trained, and more.  Also, great to make little special cards to tuck in your children’s lunch especially for those just starting school for the first time.  The possibilities are endless.
