Mishi Design, Grow Up 3 in 1 Toy; Walker, Ride On & Shopping Cart Review & Giveaway!!!

Mishi Design, an Italian based company established back in 1995 developed a really cool line of transformable toys in 2007. Mishi Design noticed that during the first years of their lives, kids are going through many physical and mental changes. They noticed that parents often bought many toys as their children transitioned from one stage to another leaving a trail of useless products once outgrown that needed to be stored, sold or recycled. Their Grow Up 3 in 1 Walker, Ride-On and Trolley is quite an ingenious alternative.

This toy will grow with your child from pre-walking stage of 8 or 9 months until 72 months plus. You can start assembling it as a baby walker cart and it is a sturdy little cart that won’t topple and baby can gain confidence and strength pushing it around. When toddler thru preschool stage the walker cart can be disassembled and reassembled with the included extra parts to a neat little foot powered ride on with a wagon in the back. For even more variety and years of use the ride on can be converted to a tall shopping cart or trolley. Wow, talk about a sustainable toy!

I easily assembled this into the ride on with very little trouble, it was a bit scary bending the thin flexible wood piece that forms the wagon or cart part so I called my husband in for that. After assembly my three year old and five year old could both ride it. My boys love wagons and carts and carting things around. The little cart in the back is great for giving a favorite bear a ride or toting some trucks around the house. The shopping cart is great for interactive and imaginative play. Sturdy and tall it has a long life span. Talk about a toy going the distance!

Mishi Design is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a Swing Up 2 in 1 Rocking Horse to Toddler Trike Toy.  Thank you Mishi Design for the great review 3 in 1 toy and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

The Learning Journey International, Shop and Learn Cash Register Review & Giveaway!!!

 

I was thrilled recently to have the opportunity to choose a product from The Learning Journey International to review.  After browsing their great products for quite some time, I decided on the Shop and Learn Cash Register.  The Shop and Learn Cash Register is an interactive electronic learning toy.  It has three activity modes to grow with your child from  age 2 and up.

Activity Mode 1-Let’s Play!

Allows your child to learn colors, numbers and food items through discovery and exploration. Press any number button and the Shop and Learn Cash Register will announce the selected number.  Slide any of the include food items through the food item scanner and the Shop and Learn Cash Register will identify the food item.  Insert any number of coins and the Cash Register will  let the child know how many coins have been inserted.

Activity Mode 2-Find It!

This activity asks your child to identify a specific food item by sliding it through the scanner or to identify a specific numer on the cash register.

When this activity is selected the unit will ask a random set of questions.

To answer the questions correctly, either press the correct number button or slide the correct food item through the scanner.  The Cash Register will let your child know if they are correct or not.

If the answer is correct the Cash Register will give the child a positive response and ask another question.  If the answer is incorrect 3 times in a row, the Cash Register will automatically ask a new question.

Activity Mode 3- Let’s Go Shopping!

This activity teaches the child the value of food items by asking to pay for them with either coins or credit card.  Each food item has a different value.

The Cash Register will prompt your child to slide a food item through the food item scanner.

The Cash Register will identify the food and value and instruct the child to pay using the correct number of coins or using the credit card by pressing an announced number and running the card through the slot.  The Cash Register will let the child know if they completed the transaction correctly.  If the child did it correctly the unit will praise them.  If the process is done incorrectly three times in a row the until will move on to another question.

I primarily asked to review this item based on my three year old but soon found that both my three and five year old both liked it.  They played it together on Activity Mode 3 and they liked scanning the items and then completing the payment as instructed.  The unit works well and is very well constructed.  This was a great toy for them to share and play togehter with, encouraged them to take turns, one would scan the other pay for the scanned food item and then switch.  The unit has a friendly voice and kept the kids attention and the interactive play really amused them.  If you are looking for great learning toys check out The Learning Journey International.

The Learning Journey International is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own Shop and Learn Cash Register.  Thank you to The Learning Journey International for this great review toy and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

Ozeri CardioTech Premium Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Color Alert Technology Review!!!

If my husband saw one of those blood pressure machines in the pharmacy or Wal-Mart, it was like a magnet, he had to sit down and take his blood pressure. He does not and never has had high blood pressure so where this compulsion came in, I really don’t know. It was just one of those things with him. Anyway, he started asking me to review a blood pressure home device and since I was dealing with a company that manufactures them on other reviews, I figured it would not hurt to ask. They were very receptive and sent me the Ozeri CardiTech Premium Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Color Alert Technology. When it arrived my husband was thrilled but the real test would be in how well it worked. He quickly unpacked it, read the directions and tried it out. The result was that he loves this compact kit. I was wondering if it would be accurate since it measures your blood pressure around your wrist. It is very accurate and our blood pressure on the monitor correlates with what we have read at the doctor’s office. Super easy to use and fast this monitor allows my husband his blood pressure fix anytime he needs it. It gives you a very visual color reading as well to allow you to see in a moment if your blood pressure is normal, prehypertension or hypertension level.  You also get a pulse reading, auto irregular heartbeat detection and a push button that allows you to average blood pressure readings. Best of all, I can’t remember the last time he stopped to use one of those other machines in the store.

 

Product Features

  • Portable, accurate, and simple-to-use wrist cuff design with clinically proven technology.
  • Advanced Color-coded Hypertension Indicator that color codes the Systolic and Diastolic readings according to green (normal), orange (prehypertension) and red (hypertension) levels.
  • Stores 80 blood pressure readings (40 x 2 users) with date and time recordings.
  • New MWI (Measure While Inflate) technology automatically inflates to the appropriate level (no adjustments required) while reducing measurement time.
  • Automatic irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia) detection and new push-button access to average blood pressure readings.

Product Description

CardioTech products offer clinically proven technology and are used by physicians and hospitals around the world. Compact, portable and simple-to-use, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor is an advanced wrist cuff monitor with MWI (Measure While Inflate) technology that automatically inflates to the appropriate level (no adjustments required) while reducing measurement time while offering greater accuracy. This advanced capability adds convenience and ease of use to those with conditions (such as arrhythmia) that lead to fluctuating blood pressure. The Ozeri CardioTech Premium Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor stores up to 80 blood pressure readings with date and time Memory recall (40 readings x 2 users), and automatically classifies each blood pressure reading according to World Health Organization hypertension guidelines with a new Color Alert LCD that color codes the systolic and diastolic readings according to green (normal), orange (prehypertension) and red (hypertension) levels. It also calculates average blood pressure readings based on the 3 most recent readings, and detects irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia) for an improved understanding of your heart’s heath. Based on a wrist cuff design, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor is especially helpful for users with above average arm sizes and it stores compactly in a carrying case for travel. Backed by a 5 year warranty, the Ozeri CardioTech Blood Pressure Monitor ships with 2 AAA batteries included, a carrying case and user manual.

Lilla Rose Flexi-Clip Review and Giveaway!!! Special Buy 3 Get 1 Free!!!

I have very long hair, and I am also a mom, so you can imagine that I have to put my hair up most of the time. If I leave my hair down, it is constantly being pulled on, getting in my way, and usually getting tangled. I don’t always have a lot of time to put my hair up either, so usually I just throw it in a ponytail or quick bun and go on with my day. Sometimes I wish I could do more elaborate styles or use something prettier, but when there is no extra time for me to spend on my hair, I must resort to the plain hair elastic in a ponytail. If you are a mom like me, then you might appreciate this review for the Lilla Rose Flexi-clip! I have been working with Independent consultant, Sarah Ives, to bring you this brilliant review and giveaway!

Sarah Ives, a busy mom of 3, was having the same tribulations with her hair as I was, she was looking for a faster way to a more attractive hairstyle. When she discovered the beauty of the flexi-clip, she knew she had to share her discovery by becoming an independent consultant for Lilla Rose.

I was asked to pick out my favorite flexi-clip from her website for the review, and I chose the Roman Cross design for me, and the Scroll Heart mini for my nieces. The Roman Cross flexi-clip is even more gorgeous in person than the photos on the website, the contrasting beads are eye-catching! My nieces loved the mini Scroll Heart flexi-clip, it is so small and adorable, just like them! Both clips are sturdy and crafted beautifully, the 8 shape flexes over your hair to make a better fit than a solid piece would. After getting the hang of the flexi-clip, it is pretty easy to put my hair up in many different styles, my favorite is the drop bun, it gives such a pretty classical look, and doesn’t take much time at all! Now I don’t have to resort to putting my hair up in a plain ponytail when I don’t have time for anything more elaborate, it takes maybe a minute to throw my hair into a twist and secure it with the clip. Here is a helpful video demonstrating how to do the drop bun in your own hair with the clip:

Independent Consultant Sarah Ives is sponsoring today’s giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! Two lucky readers will win a certificate redeemable for a Lilla Rose flexi-clip of the winner’s choice, valued up to $16!! In addition to the giveaway, Sarah is offering new customers of Lilla Rose a promotional sale, buy 3 flexi-clips from her website and get 1 free!  After you have bought your first three, just email Sarah (sarahevan5@aol.com) your choice for your free flexi-clip! Thank you Sarah Ives for this gorgeous review flexi-clip and for sponsoring this fantastic giveaway and promo!!! Giveaway is open to U.S. Canada and Mexico.

Shutter Huggers Review and Giveaway!!!

 

Has there ever been a product you invented in your head and then one day you see it on the market?  That is how it was when I saw Shutter Huggers.  I think a lot of moms and photographers have also invented this product in their minds, but a couple of moms actually followed the process all the way through and started Shutter Huggers.  There are lots of adorable plush characters to choose from and they all have a scrunchie type middle that just goes right over you lens.  The one thing I would have added is sound to the characters in terms of a jingle or a squeak, knowing me I would have added both just to have that little extra attention grabbing option.  I received the dalmatian and the monkey Shutter Huggers for review.  The dalmatian comes in colors that are great for even capturing a very young babies attention.  So if you are looking for an easy way to give your camera some personality that little ones will love, try Shutter Huggers.

 

Shutter Huggers is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a Shutter Hugger of their choice (subject to availability).  Thank you Shutter Huggers for the review huggers and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.
