I See Me!, Personalized Lunch Box and Placemat Review and Giveaway!!!

Personalized gifts are so special to kids. Something uniquely theirs, something they don’t need to share or hand down, but something created just for them! What better way to celebrate a milestone like the first day of school then with a personalized lunch box packed with personality! I See Me! has added a new product to their line, personalized lunch boxes. They don’t just have to be for little ones in school what a great new baby present personalized and packed with a cute outfit or to give a child to house a special collection, there are just so many uses.

We were thrilled to be asked to review these new lunch boxes and choose the Dino design that I had personalized for Luke. We also reviewed a new personalized sports placemat that I had personalized for Ethan.

Both items arrived recently and they are absolutely adorable. The colors are vibrant and crisp and the personalization makes for such special memories. The placemat is perfect for my little sports fan, and makes a cheery place at the table for him to start his day off right and end it on a high note. Placemats are easy to wipe clean even after the messiest eaters. So many great styles to choose from make it easy to find something that celebrates that special child.

The Dino Lunch Box is so cute and the little chalkboard on the inside of the lid makes for a lot of fun. Send your child off to school with it and include special notes each day they can look forward to. It’s also a great treasure box for your child’s most special belongings or collections and makes them a breeze to tote around. Great for traveling to hold some special activities or toys. So many great ways this clever lunch box can be used and with all the different designs it makes the perfect present.

Almondina Cookie Sample Pack Review & Giveaway!!!

Have you ever tried Almondina Cookies?

This all-natural, crispy almond cookie has no cholesterol and no added fat, salt, or preservatives. It is wonderfully crunchy and does not have to be dipped. It is a delightful accompaniment for coffee, tea, soft cheeses and fine light wines. The rush to eliminate fat from gourmet foods too often has also eliminated most of the flavor, a fact which is in sharp contrast to this enticingly delicious cookie.

Since the introduction of the classic Original flavor, eight more distinctive variations have been introduced, all of which continue to be packed with roasted almonds. A recent innovation, Chocolate Cherry, combines the almonds with dark chocolate and plump cherries.

I received a sample pack of these great cookies and I have to tell you they were so delicious. The sesame reminded me of a favorite Italian sesame cookie I love and that is only available at select bakeries so to find that taste in this cookie I was head over heels. I also loved the Ginger and well, I really liked them all, they were perfect with coffee or for a quick snack. If you have not tried them, you should, there are so many great flavors to choose from.

Almondina is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! One lucky blog reader will win a sample pack just like I received. Thank you Almondina for the review cookies and for sponsoring this delicious giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US residents.

Famous Footwear and Reebok Review!!!

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Reebok. I received a Famous Footwear gift card to purchase a pair of Reebok shoes to facilitate my review and to thank me for participating.”

Have you ever shopped at Famous Footwear? I love shopping at Famous Footwear for a lot of reasons, first I am a person that likes to do things efficiently but also as fast as possible because I am so busy. I like that I can shop in the store and easily find my size which is not a size a lot of stores stock with great abundance, second I have a comfortable place to sit and try the shoes on and I can help myself. I also love to shop Famous Footwear online, it is easy to browse the site, find what I want in my size and have it shipped to my house. I recently was chosen to be part of a Reebok influencer campaign with Famous Footwear. I ordered 3 pairs of Reebok sneakers from Famous Footwear and I did it online. I ordered a great pair for my self of the Reebok Smoothflex in Blue/Orange, I ordered each of my little guys the Reebok Ziglite Rush GS. I also used the great savings code shown below to buy one pair and get another 1/2 off and then get an extra 15% off my whole order! I was able to get three pair of quality Reebok sneakers for around $100!!! Quality, supportive, comfortable sneakers for me, Ethan and Luke at around $100 is really a bargain!!! Shipping was free and the total with tax and everything was $107.18 because the Ziglites were on sale when I purchased them as were my Smoothflex.

When they arrived we were all eager to try them on and I did purposely order the boys a bit bigger because they have a lot of shoes and sneakers and so I wanted these bigger and was able to print out a shoe sizer that let me do just that with accuracy. Mine fit great and were super comfortable, there was not breaking them in and I wore them all day, they were so great for walking and running. The kids choose to wear theirs too and really liked them, they picked their own colors online and were involved in the whole process online which was really cool for them.

I was so excited to find really comfortable athletic shoes since I am biking a lot and walking. This is not the first time I have owned Reebok shoes, in fact I started long ago as a teenager and my first pair were the signature pink leather Reeboks that were so popular then, they held up so well and believe it or not I may still have them in the back of my closet. Through the years I have purchased many others for my kids and myself and have never been disappointed. If you are looking for a great place to shop for back to school shoes, Famous Footwear and Reebok have got you covered!
