Simple Wishes Hands Free Pumping Bra Review and Giveaway!!!

One aspect about breastfeeding is having to use a breast pump to express milk for your baby, and all the trouble that goes with it. Pumping can be aggravating and awkward when you aren’t coordinated enough. There have been so many times that it was a struggle to pump, keeping myself covered, holding the bottles in place and trying not to spill anything! You can imagine how excited I was when I had the opportunity to review this Simple Wishes Hands Free Breastpump Bra! This is absolutely the greatest invention for breastfeeding and pumping mothers. Not only does this bra hold the bottle shields in place, but it also frees up your hands so you can multi-task while pumping, whether you want to read, work or just relax! I was impressed by the high quality materials and how well this product is made, the 83% cotton 17% spandex blend is so soft, snug, supportive and comfy. Just for the reviews sake, I wore this for hours straight and never found it uncomfortable, without the straps it got a little loose feeling and started to slip a little after a few hours, but nothing a little tightening of the back fastening couldn’t fix! Besides, if you are just using this for pumping, you won’t be wearing it that long.

There are several aspects to this bra, first you have the main bustier that has wide elastic along the top and bottom to give you a tight fit. The bra zips up the front, and comes with a second 2 inch zipper panel that you can zip onto it if additional space between the breasts is needed for the shield placement. Then there is the 10 inch, back Velcro panel which allows you to adjust the size around the ribcage. With this completely adjustable size system, you will find the perfect fit at any time. It was very easy to put the pumping shields in place with the four overlapping layers of fabric, they felt very tight and secure and didn’t lose their seal. It also comes with removable straps so you can wear it strapless, or for additional support, you can attach the straps in halter, tank or racerback style. This bra can be worn by itself, or over a nursing bra with the flaps pulled down, it’s ease of style allows you to slip it on without having to take off your bra or shirt, and allows a modest and discreet cover for the breasts.

Simple Wishes was founded by 4 sisters who bring their own unique strengths and qualities into the production, operation, web design and sales! When they recognized a need for a pumping bra in the breastfeeding market, they put their talents together to create and bring this clever new product to life! I am confident in saying that I believe there are many mothers out there who are thankful for the contribution of these creative sisters!!

 

I am excited to inform you that Simple Wishes is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! One lucky blog reader will win a Pumping Bra in their choice of color and size! Thank you Simple Wishes for this brilliant review bra and sponsoring this fantastic giveaway!!!  Open to US residents.

Zooklz, Square Pillow Character Animals Review and Giveaway!!!

Who says “square” isn’t cool? Meet Zooklz, the square animals with attitude, from the land where quadrilaterals are as common as sugar cubes in a tea set or dice on a gaming board. Visit Zooklz and meet some of the wondrous characters who roam freely through its land- and cityscapes.  I recently had the opportunity to review a Zooklz pillow character.  I choose the Lilo Lion and it is absolutely adorable.  One side is very detailed with eyes face and mane and the opposite size is just soft and comfy for kids to use when they want to get cozy on the couch, floor, or in their bed.  Zooklz are available in 5 different characters that all have a square body with a big heart.  A portion of profits will be donated to animal welfare organizations.

Jim Cordaro’s sweet companion, Guido — a jet-black Cockapoo — helped this artist run Rubin Cordaro Design. Guido greeted guests, inspired creativity, and occasionally caused a bit of mischief; but he never disappointed. After all, that’s the way with dogs.

Today, each Zooklz that springs from Jim’s imagination is infused with Guido’s lively spirit — allowing distinct personalities to pop through the signature geometric features and spherical coal black eyes.

getabettie.com, Buckhead Betties Westminster Eva Tote Review and Giveaway!!!

I recently connected with getabettie.com and was asked to pick something out on getabettie.com to review.  I chose the Westminster Eva because I liked the colors and the adorable dogs.   When this tote bag came I was floored with the size.  It is so huge that it is almost comical.  The reason I find it so amusing is that there has never been a bag that I have ever considered “too big” because I am one of those people who likes a big bag.  I use a diaper bag that is marketed as great for a weekend getaway for everyday.  I have never been one that just travels with a small clutch.  When I saw this bag so many things went through my head.  I recalled the scene from “Crocodile Dundee”  and replayed it in my mind with a tote bag instead of a knife.  “You Call That A Tote Bag?  This Is A Tote Bag!”  I also thought about what a great gag it would be to take it on the airline as my purse.  Then as I made my way to my seat and had it over my shoulder it would knock everyone in the aisle seat on their head.

Seriously though, this is a well constructed bag and big enough to hold anything and more.  You could put it in a room to hold your child’s stuffed toys, use it as a hamper, use it to store blankets and throws, it is big enough for so many things and my daughter even told me that I could fit in it.  I mean if you are looking for a big, giant, huge, enormous tote bag this is the bag for you.  I think it should be the official tote bag of Texas.  Buckhead Betties has a huge variety of bags and accessories in lots of colors and styles. They can even be personalized with a monogram.

Lotus Bumz Cloth Diaper Review and Giveaway!!!

 

I was recently sent a Green Starlight Lotus Bumz diaper to review! The waterproof outer fabric has a cute green and white star design, and has a silky soft feel, unlike any of the other waterproof diaper materials I have come across! I love the feel of it! The inside material is so soft and cuddly, my baby seems to find it comfortable. The diaper is a pocket diaper, where you tuck the insert inside a the pocket between the waterproof fabric and inside fabric, it was easy enough to stretch the elastic pockets and fit the insert in nicely, with no bunching of the soaker. The elastic kept the soaker in its place and it didn’t poke through the opening like some do. The insert is made of 3 absorbent layers of micro fiber material. This diaper is a one size, and has the adjustable rise snaps so you can use them on babies from 9-30lbs! They also provide you with plenty of waist snaps to allow you to get the best fit!  It fit well on my 20lb baby, no gaping in the legs nor did it leave red marks, and a nice fit on the waist. Like I said, he seemed to find it comfortable, and I loved his fluffy, silky bum! It has hip snaps to prevent the sides from drooping, and they did their job well! The Lotus Bumz diaper is trim and effective, and there was no leaking, the micro fiber insert did well at absorbing everything, and the inner material wicked the wetness away from his skin, leaving him dry and comfortable!

Lotus Bumz was founded by Lorain Herder, who decided to use cloth diapers after seeing the physical benefits they had on her newborn’s skin, and recognized the benefits using cloth had on the environment. When she saw that there was a need for affordable cloth diapers, she started Lotus Bumz to provide affordable diapers to eco-conscious parents. Lotus Bums has cloth diapers in many solid colors and prints, they also sell them in 3, 6, 12 and 24 pack bundles. With so many bundle options, you can start a completely new stash, or just replenish a stash you already have.

I am delighted that Lotus Bumz is giving one our readers a chance to try out their fantastic diaper by sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! One lucky blog reader will win a Lotus Bumz Cloth Diaper in their choice of either a boy or girl color! Thank you Lotus Bumz for this wonderful review diaper and this great giveaway!!! Open to US and Canadian residents.
