Tradewind Books, “On My Walk” Book Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Recently Tradewind Books sent me a book to review and one to use for a give-away.  They sent me the children’s book, “On My Way” by Kari-Lynn Winters and illustrated by Christina Leist.  I shared it with my 2 year old Luke tonight, and he just loved it.  It was such a fitting and relative book for us because we take a lot of walks, and live in the country.  This book follows a small child as he walks with his mother and his dog in the country.  Luke loved that the dog looked like one of our dogs, Delilah.  It was a great book because even though the words on each page were few, the content allowed us to talk about our own experiences.  For instance the child sees a frog and we talked about how we see frogs on our walks.  He was delighted  seeing  a little boy like him, seeing the same things he does, on his walk.  It was a short, pleasant read and was just perfect for spurring conversation in a toddler or pre-schooler.  The illustrations are charming and amusing, like when the dog is licking the boy’s ice cream cone.  We give this book 2 thumbs up, oh wait, 4 thumbs up!!!

excerpt:

On my walk,
my summer walk,
I hear a horse, clippity-clop, clippity-clop,
and a frog, frippity-frop, frippity-frop

    Capturing Couture Camera Strap Review and Give-Away!!!

    I was thrilled that Capturing Couture decided to sponsor a review and give-away on  Mommy Ramblings.  The other day I received a package and inside I found two black boxes with hot pink tulle bows.  What could be inside?

    Well, I knew what was inside since I was allowed to pick whatever strap I fancied from their site.  I chose the Orchid Evening 2″ Camera Strap from their Silk Collection.  It is so beautiful!!

    Beautiful colors of the sunset, golds, pinks, and purples give an exotic flair to a sophisticated black backdrop.

    The Orchid Evening SLR/DSLR camera strap is made from 100% silk woven brocade. Featuring tones of fuschia, pink, lavender and golden flower patterns on a black base.

    Features:✦ Comfortable neckpad with plush velvet surface

    ✦  Customized metal logo rivets

    ✦  Nylon webbing for ultimate durability

    ✦  Adjustable features for preferred positioning.

    Size Dimensions:

    ✦  2” wide

    ✦  30-32” long with 6-8” additional adjustability

    Care:

    ✦  Spot clean with microfiber cloth and water

    I love the comfort of this strap, the padded velvet on the underside is very comfortable to wear.  As I wear my camera everywhere,  I really appreciate this.  It is beautiful and gives me a break from the boring DSLR black camera strap that is definitely not a fashion statement.  I think it is great that Capturing Couture (you can get direct to their website by clicking on the text link on the side of my blog) has so many great styles and colors.   Their wide selection has something for everyone.  Make yourself standout, whether you are an established photographer or weekend shutterbug these straps will make you feel like a star.

    Like I said take a look at the website by clicking the text link on the side of  the blog, or go to Capturing Couture, to see all the great products they carry.

    Spring???

    Where did you go???  Last week was so beautiful.  I was able to fitness walk outside instead of on the treadmill, but than wham we got slammed with some snow.  I am not really bummed because it is Spring, it is the end of March and we are moving into April.  How long can it last?  Even today was mild albeit snowing at some points.  Oh, and I did get to see the flowers bloom.  Crazy, you think I am crazy?  I really am not that far gone yet.  : ) My Hibiscus tree (inside) is blooming and it just gives everyone a taste of Spring, even my husband, who usually will complain about my houseplants.  He complains because he is often the caretaker who gets stuck watering them.  However, today he pointed the beautiful blossom out to me.  The dogs enjoyed romping in the snow and the kiddies enjoyed playing in the fresh air on the porch.  We have a few cool days but they will be nice and sunny.  I am hopeful next week we will see higher temps and greener pastures.  Until then I am enjoying the crackling fire and feeling cozy with my family.

    Don’t forget our Scentsationals give-away ends soon so be sure and get your entries in.  I am warming some cinnamon vanilla now and it smells so good.  We have so many great reviews and give-aways coming up so make sure you subscribe to the blog and like us on Facebook so you don’t miss any.  Happy Spring everyone!!!
