I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review a Zoobies, Storytime Pal. My little ones love the Llama Llama series of books and we have a plush Llama Llama in his trademark red pajamas, so when I saw the Llama Llama Storytime Pal, I chose that. They do have so many great other choices that it was hard to choose because there are so many favorite storybook characters like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Olivia, Corduroy, Spot, Curious George and more.
When our Llama Llama arrived my son Luke was thrilled and he had no idea that this was a 3 in 1 pal. Luke is a blanket baby all the way and everyone knows he is our Linus. He is a very talented blanket reviewer who has the highest of taste and knows instinctively if a blanket lives up to his high standards. Well, when I showed him that Llama Llama had a surprise and inside he was hiding a large, super-soft coral fleece blanket with the patchwork pattern he immediately recognized from his book, he was stoked. Then the test, was it soft enough, cuddly enough, how did it rate? I am happy to report the plush, soft, blanket was a huge hit and took up residence right away in his crib.
What a great pal to take on a trip and of course to always have in bed. Cuddling up with their storytime pal and soft blanket and listening to a favorite story where their cuddly friend is the main character would delight just about any child. If you are looking for a great gift you should really check out Zoobies. Zoobie Storytime Pals are a plush friend, a pillow when you loosen the plush velcro straps and when you want a cuddly blanket just unzip. The blanket fully detaches so it makes washing a breeze.
I am pleased to tell you that Zoobies is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will win their own Zoobies Storytime Pal. Thank you Zoobies for the review Storytime Pal and for sponsoring this wonderful giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US residents.

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.

I really like sharing products that make my life easier with my readers. I was recently sent a Planet Wise Wet/Dry Bag in bumble dot pattern from Nicki’s Diapers to review. Now, you do not need to use cloth diapers to appreciate and use this bag. I do not use cloth diapers and yet this bag is a lifesaver. It can be used for so many things. I like it because I can put it in my beach bag if we are going swimming or to the beach. Then I can put the wet suits in the bag, and then in the beach bag without anything else getting wet. It is very versatile because it has a dry item pocket too, so you can carry wet and dry items in the same bag. It is also good for long road trips where inevitably someone’s clothes get wet or gross and I can just pop them in the bag and then take the bag in with me when we get home and toss it all into the wash. Of course, if you use cloth diapers, you will find this bag great to store wet or messy diapers while out. The bag is also great for cosmetics, potty training, shoes, and the gym. I love all the different patterns the bag comes in, truly something for everyone.
I am happy to let you know that Nicki’s Diapers is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings! One lucky blog reader will win their choice of a Planet Wise Wet/Dry Bag.

There is literally no time involved getting the wand ready to use. You simply remove from the box, insert 4 AA batteries and you are set to disinfect. The wand works with UV-C light, which has been proven to be a chemical-free method for sanitizing surfaces and other hard to clean items. You can sanitize a toilet seat in 20 seconds without soap or water and a laptop in 6 seconds. Do you know how great I feel to have this wand, now public restrooms can be quickly sanitized, did I mention I hate public restrooms? Anyway, the wand can kill dust mite and flea eggs on bedding and mattresses which is especially great when traveling.
I really like that you can sanitize items that cannot be cleaned with soap and water. Now it is easy to deodorize upholstery, fabrics and carpets, use it on your car seats, kid’s toys, all hard surfaces, pillows and much more. Use it to deodorize and sanitize pet beds, camping equipment, shoes, phones, doorknobs, light switches, airplane seats, appliance handles, and the list goes on and on.
How CleanWave Works:
CleanWave germicidal UV-C light penetrates micro-organism’s cell membranes and destroys the DNA, preventing the growth of germs on surfaces and causing virtually immediate elimination of these unwanted organisms. CleanWave deodorizes and eliminates upt to 99.9% of viruses (including H1N1), bacteria (including MRSA), allergens (including mold), dust mite and flea eggs from household surfaces.
If you think you could use one of these sanitizing wands, then you will be happy to know that ActiveForever is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will win a new Verilux UV-C CleanWave Sanitizing Travel Wand. Thank you ActiveForever for the review wand and for sponsoring this awesome give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!

I was recently sent a SmartLight Desk Lamp from Verilux to review. If you are looking to maximize study time, this is the lamp for you. The lamp is designed with Verilux’s patented Natural Spectrum Daylight, a type of full spectrum lighting that replicates key wavelengths of natural daylight to help students read faster with greater comprehension, study longer without eyestrain, and improve productivity, focus and concentration. This lamp is great for any student from elementary to college, goes great in any decor and has a flexible gooseneck that allows it to conform to whatever position you wish. We know that working in good light is important when studying and this lamp not only provides good light but smart light.
From the moment I turned this lamp on I could see why the light made it easier to read faster and to study longer without eyestrain. It was a very pleasant and effective light that would make even doing your taxes or balancing your checkbook an easier task. With the new school year just starting, this lamp is an excellent choice that will give any student a study space that will enhance their learning atmosphere.

I was recently sent a HABA Rainbow Whirls Pegging Game to review from Maukilo. Maukilo is the leading supplier of quality, timeless toys and gifts. They provide innovative, safe and eco-friendly playthings for all ages. Owned and operated by the German based HABA, they’re your best source for baby toys, building blocks, educational toddler toys and everything in between. With Maukilo you Buy Once, Play Forever.
I knew when I saw this Rainbow Whirls Pegging Game that my kids would love it. Luke, who is 2 loves naming his colors and free play, was the perfect tester. He was so excited to get this toy out of the box. As a seasoned Mom, I know how fun wooden peg board games are for children. They are always a hit because they can be played with so many ways. They also help your child with their fine motor skills, coordination and matching and identifying colors and shapes. The pieces can be sorted or grouped by colors, the ways you can use this pegging game are really endless. Luke loved putting all the pegs in first naming each color, then he systematically put the matching color ring on each peg. He was very proud when he completed it all and then started again. This is really a great toy that will not be in the bottom of the toy box but a well-seasoned favorite. This toy is quality made and will last to be handed down for the next generation. Maukilo offers free shipping on orders over $65. If you are looking for quality toys that last, look no further than Maukilo.
Its portability and extra wide-angle lens makes it ideal for numerous applications – business, family, construction sites and educational institutions. Offering 20 ft. infrared night vision, the DL operates on a noise-free, secure 2.4G digital signal.
