Glee Gum, Make Your Own Chocolate Kit Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently asked to pick a kit from Glee Gum to review.  I picked the Make Your Own Chocolate Kit. Inside each Make Your Own Chocolate Kit you’ll find: organic cocoa butter, cocoa powder, confectioner’s sugar, starter crystals, a temperature indicator, paper candy liners, instructions, and the story of chocolate.

This is a great activity to do with your kids and there is a lot of teaching information included.  It even includes 2 cacao beans that you rub between your fingers to remove the shells and everyone can have a taste and your kids can see the beans that chocolate is made from.

You can use the stove or the microwave for the melting and cooking.  We used the microwave and the first step is to melt the cocoa butter for about 3 minutes in the microwave.

The next step is to stir in the cocoa powder and confectioner’s sugar and mix until smooth.

You then put the mixture back in the microwave for 10 seconds only.  Then you attach the thermometer to the bottom of the bowl.  Add 1/4 tsp. of vanilla and stir until the mixture reaches 94 degrees.  Then you add the starter crystals and stir until there are no lumps.  Next, you pour the chocolate in the paper liners.

When you are done filling the liners you put them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until cold and hardened.  Then remove the liners and enjoy!!!

This kit was a lot of fun for everyone to make together.  The end result was delicious.  Mommy Ramblings thinks this kit from Glee Gum would make a great gift this Holiday season and so we are adding it to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

Glee Gum is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win the candy kit of their choice.  Thank you Glee Gum for the review kit and for sponsoring this yummy give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

Kai Bean Boy’s Clothing Collection Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

 

I was recently asked to do a review for Kai Bean Kids, Flap Happy’s new boys clothing line.  I was generously sent two great matching outfits for my little boys.  I received 2 of the Screen Printed Long Sleeve Tee Shirt in “Speedometer” and 2 pairs of the French Terry Pant. Everything felt super soft and I just knew it was going to be very comfortable on them.  I was not wrong, they loved the outfits. Both boys really like having pockets to put things in and the French Terry Pants has two deep pockets and a drawstring waist to ensure a great fit. The shirt is very stylish with its great large graphic on the front and the embellishment of thermal waffle knit material on the shoulders and sleeves. This outfit is great for school and play.  If you are looking for comfortable, stylish clothes that will stand up to your little boys, then check out theKai Bean Kid’s Collection.

Made entirely in Southern California, USA, Kai Bean is a fashion forward line which combines the latest trends in contemporary menswear with a laid back California lifestyle. Comprised of the softest garment dyed cottons including French Terry, Thermal Waffle Knit and Combed, Ringspun Jersey, as well as silky soft rayon, the collection is available in sizes 6/12 month – 12 years.Kai Bean has a very clean, comfortable look, and is available in a variety of styles including tee shirts, shorts, pants and hoodies, with details such as raw edges and mixed fabrications within one garment.

Mommy Ramblings thinks Kai Bean Kids clothing makes great gifts so we are adding them to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

You’ve Been Sentenced! Game & Add-On Decks Review and Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

If you are looking for a super fun family or party game, then you have to check out, “You’ve Been Sentenced!”  I was sent this game with six add-on decks from McNeill Designs to review. Even though it said it was for 3-10 players, my husband and I played it.  It was so much fun.  You start by picking 10 cards each and you then begin using the cards to make grammatically correct sentences that make some kind of sense.  When one person has their sentence done they turn the timer over and everyone else has the remaining time to complete their sentence.  After the timer has run out, you go about comparing your sentences where I guarantee you will be laughing like crazy.  You can challenge your opponents sentence if you think it is not correct.  My husband created the funniest sentences about Annie Oakley eating fake plastic worms and others that just left me shaking my head.  I came up with some contenders myself.  I can just imagine how fun this game will be to play with more people.  The add-on decks just add to the variety and fun.  This is one of our favorite games, it makes you think and it is hilarious. We made some crazy sentences and laughed a lot, the game goes really fast and you will find yourself playing it multiple times in one evening.

Mommy Ramblings thinks this is one of the greatest games and we are adding it to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide because it would make the perfect Family Gift.  You’ve been Sentenced! has now won 17 awards and is available at Barnes & Noble, Kohl’s and Toys R Us this holiday season.

yoomi Self-Warming Baby Bottle Review & Facebook,”Shower Power” Contest!!!

I am very excited to have been asked to review the yoomi bottle.  The yoomi is the first ever self-warming baby bottle.  A bottle and warmer in one, yoomi heats a baby’s feed to the natural temperature of breast milk at the touch of a button – in just 60 seconds!  The unique warming unit is rechargeable up to 100 times without batteries or having to be plugged in.  All pieces including the warmer are able to be sterilized and fully immersed in boiling water.  yoomi has 5 oz and 8 oz bottles with slow, medium and fast nipples available. The bottle is simple to use.  Just fill with breast milk or formula, push the orange button on the warming unit, wait 30 seconds and when the button turns blue put the cap on the nipple, turn the bottle upside down to allow milk to pass over the heating unit and fill the nipple. Then begin feeding your baby.  The milk will only be heated as it passes over the warming unit and into the nipple.  The warming unit will stay on for 60 minutes, allowing you plenty of time per feeding.  Yoomi is great for warming bottles on the go or for those middle of the night feedings.  yoomi is BPA Free and has a natural shaped anti-colic nipple.

In order to recharge the warmer, you have to boil it for 25 minutes and allow it to cool for 75 minutes. The warmer needs to be recharged after each use. This warmer is ideal for parents who plan ahead. It is important to always have your warmer charged before going to sleep or before a long trip. Yoomi is launching a microwavable cover for the warmer in 2012. The warmer can be placed in this microwavable cover and it recharges the warmer in 4 minutes (cutting down the recharge time by 21 minutes). With this piece, the warmer will be ready to use immediately instead of waiting 75 minutes to cool. Also, this cover protects the warmer from being exposed to any radiation. Therefore, it is safe for the baby to use.

 yoomi is launching a Facebook contest called “Shower Power.” In order to enter the contest, an expecting mother must be nominated by a friend or family member. The winner will receive an amazing gift basket with baby essentials that are worth $500. The nominator and nominee must “Like” yoomi’s Facebook page.  This contest ends December 8th and yoomi will be launching a new “Shower Power” contest every quarter.
