Freshpet Ready To Bake Cookies For Dogs Review and Giveaway!!!

I was recently contacted by Freshpet regarding the launch of their new Ready To Bake Cookies for Dogs.  Of course with 3 canine babies in our family we were thrilled to try them out.  We were sent a nice package that included an apron and soft sided cooler that had the cookies inside with ice packs to keep them cold.  We received Peanut Butter and Oatmeal and Cranberry Recipes.  The Cookies are already formed and you just place them on the cookie sheet and flatten a bit with your palm.  Then you bake them in the oven until golden brown and remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.  The baked cookies can be stored in an airtight container for 14 days but believe me they won’t last 14 days here.  When they were cool we let the eager taste testers have a taste test.  All 3 product testers gave both varieties 4 paws up for taste.  They absolutely loved them.  The really funny thing is they smelled so good when baking that my two little guys came in and told me they wanted a cookie as I was taking them out and thought I was kidding when I told them they were dog cookies.  My three-year old said he wanted to eat one anyway, but I told him  that I would make them some cookies.  Afterwards, I made cookies for them and had them all in containers on the island counter.  Well, my daughter came home later that evening and as she took a seat on the couch next to me she said, “Mom, what kind of cookies are these?”  When I looked over at her with a half eaten cookie in her hand, I burst out laughing.  It took me a moment to get the words out of my mouth but I told her she was eating the dog cookies I was reviewing.  It was quite funny for all of us and she said they actually tasted pretty good.  I went to the website and saw that another customer could not resist taking a bite when baking them for her dogs because they smelled so good, so I let my daughter know she was not the only human who had sampled them.

So if you are looking for a yummy treat for your four-legged family members than give Freshpet Ready To Bake Cookies for Dogs a try, but make sure you label your containers.

Freshpet is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win both kinds of Ready To Bake Dog Cookies.  Thank you Freshpet for the review cookies and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

Nuvo Group, Ritmo Premium Advanced Prenatal Audio Sound System Review and Giveaway!!!

There is a lot to be said for the advantages of listening to music. No matter how old you are, music offers benefits as it stimulates the brain functions, and sharpens reasoning and logical skills. It can relax or excite you, and even help you learn. Music enhances quality of life, wellness, education, creativity and emotional expression. The value of music doesn’t just start after you are born: A baby can start to hear sounds outside the womb by 20 weeks after conception. Research has shown that listening to music while in the womb has a stimulating effect on a baby’s brain. As a child listens to music, he is actively focusing on patterns and rhythms so he can sing and dance along. These auditory impulses help structure communication through speech, movement and expression. These advantages are sure to have the same effect on a baby in utero.

Nuvo Group has created a sound system primarily for playing music safely and effectively for a baby in the womb. The Ritmo Advanced sound system was made with safety specifications in mind so you can play music for your baby with peace of mind that there are no risks involved. Research shows that it is unsafe for the baby to have sounds placed in one or two specific areas on a mother’s belly, as there is too much sound concentration. The Ritmo audio belt has four speakers that safely disperses the sound from four strategically place speakers and ensures your baby has a 360 degree listening experience. The Safe and Sound Controller is the brain of the Ritmo Sound System because it can actually learn the patterns of music and plays it at a continuously safe and stable decibel level to benefit their physical growth during pregnancy.

I received the Ritmo Premium package for review, this package includes the revolutionary 4 speaker Prenatal Audio Belt, the Safe and Sound Controller, an extension belt, and Washable Protective Pouch! All you need to provide is the MP3 player. Even though I am not pregnant, I had to see how well this system works. After charging the Sound Controller, I hooked it all up, which was simple thanks to the easy to read directions. I was pleased to find that it was compatible with my Droid. I found everything to be very well-made and durable. I’ll even admit that I tried it on, and it was comfy and secure. The sound quality was excellent and clear, played at a low, soothing decibel. I can just imagine how it would feel to have my baby reacting to the music in my womb, maybe going from super wiggly to calm and tranquil. The Sound Controller has an extra earphone jack so you can hook up your earphones and listen to the music along with your baby. The speakers are removable so you can machine wash the belt if needed.

I am excited to let you know that Nuvo Group is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! One very lucky blog reader will win an entire Ritmo Premium Advanced Sound System! Thank you Nuvo Group for this fantastic Ritmo sound system review and this amazing giveaway!!! Open to US Residents.

Three Chickadees Exquisite Ribbon Products, Kid’s Belt and Keychain Review and Giveaway!!!

I recently connected with Three Chickadees and was asked to pick a couple of their items to review for Mommy Ramblings.  I chose a kid’s belt and a keychain.  For the belt I chose the All Sport Style and for the keychain I picked the World Peace design.  The belt is very nice and sturdy with vibrant colors and an easy to fasten and adjust D ring. This boys ribbon belt features navy ribbon with sports balls sewn onto natural cotton webbing. The sports images include footballs, baseballs and basketballs.  The keychain is great, I like that it is rather large so it is super easy to find your keys if they get tossed into a messy purse or diaper bag.  This very cool keychain was created by sewing a teal, kiwi and brown peace sign ribbon onto natural colored cotton webbing. Three Chickadees has a variety of exquisite ribbon products for men, women and kids.  They have headbands, gifts, belts, watch bands, clothing and more.

Each piece is hand stamped and will be custom-made for you.   In the center hangs a gorgeous sterling silver puffed heart charm.  I had the Circle personalized with the names of my five children. The sterling ball chain comes n three sizes; 16″, 18″ and 20″.  I chose the 18″ length for myself and I am happy with the length.  I think it came out lovely and is such a special piece.  With Mother’s Day coming up this would make a great present for Mothers and Grandmothers too!

 A Charmed Life Designs  believes that everyone has a story to tell. Johnna Becker is the proud mother of three boys, her oldest being twins. Having all boys at home-made it hard for Johnna to embrace the girl in her. She turned a room in her house into her girl room and began to design personalized sterling silver hand stamped jewelry. She started out making jewelry as gifts for teachers and friends. The response was unbelievable.  The unique designs became and instant hit. She was requested to display her hand stamped jewelry at home show parties and in local Atlanta suburban schools to help raise money for their technology department and for various fund-raising campaigns such as Relay for Life.

Her clients would share their stories with her of their loved ones.  Designing sterling silver stamped name charms for a new mother expecting twins or a key ring for their son’s 16th birthday, each piece is hand stamped to reflect the love and excitement of life’s special occasions.

Augusta Baby Collections, Leather Baby Shoes Review and Giveaway!!!

Recently, I had the opportunity to review a pair of  leather shoes from the Augusta Baby Collections.  I received a pair of 100% leather soft soled baby shoesand was very pleased with the quality. The leather is super soft, blue and orange color with a bright yellow backhoe sewn on the front, the soft leather soles are a natural brown. They design of the shoes are ingenious, with elastic around the ankle it allows enough stretch to get it on my baby’s foot with ease. My baby seemed to find them very comfortable and enjoys walking around in them, and has great non-slip traction! He can wear socks with them too to keep his feet toasty warm. The size I received allows extra room for growing, while still staying on and fitting him well. He just started walking, and these shoes are acting as a training step that allows him to learn to balance while wearing shoes. Eventually he will be walking with confidence in regular soled shoes!

When I went to browse on Augustababy.com I was overwhelmed by the volume and variety of their soft soled baby shoe collection. They have so many adorable themes and colors for boys and girls as well as many neutral designs! You can clearly see the love and care that goes into the making of these sweet little shoes. The prices on their website are fantastic for genuine leather shoes, check them out now and you will find that select shoes are on sale for 40% off!!

The Prepared Pantry,Gourmet Cinnamon Chips Review and Giveaway!!!

 

My husband and kids love cinnamon, you cannot believe how many times my husband whips up his famous cinnamon rolls.  It was the perfect match when I was asked by The Prepared Pantry to review their Gourmet Cinnamon Chips.  I found a great recipe online for Snickerdoodle Blondies with Cinnamon Chips, and I knew I had to bake those.  The Cinnamon Chips smell so good, not artificial or too strong, but just absolutely yummy.  I prepared the batter, added the chips and put it in a greased 13 by 9 pan.  After sprinkling with cinnamon and sugar, I baked it and it smelled so wonderful that I could not wait until if cooled an grabbed a piece while warm so my piece may have not been so pretty but it was warm, moist and delicious and reminded me of a cinnamon streussel coffee cake.  Every one else love it too and I can tell you that there is very little of the pan left.  If you are looking for a delicious cinnamon chip to use in recipes, then you must try The Prepared Pantry.

 

Some information from Prepared Pantry’s Website:

A Prepared Pantry exclusive! These are the best cinnamon chips.

 

Cinnamon chips make wonderful bread, cookies, muffins, and more!

You’ll find hundreds of uses!  If cinnamon is good in a recipe, cinnamon chips are better.  Use these chips in all kinds of recipes. Add them to almost any recipe that calls for cinnamon–you’ll add a burst of cinnamon in every bite.  They make wonderful baked goods with a burst of cinnamon in every bite–made with real cinnamon for an intense cinnamon flavor!
Add them to breads, muffins, cookies, and pancakes, use the following amounts. Always add them right at the end of the mixing or kneading process.
These are sold by the truckload to the national bakeries but you can buy them only at The Prepared Pantry.  Compare these gourmet chips with those sold in the grocery stores.  You’ll like what you find and ounce for ounce, gourmet doesn’t cost more. If you don’t like these better than what you find in the store, return the empty package and we’ll refund your purchase price.
These are the most versatile baking chip.  Consider adding them to any recipe that calls for cinnamon. Use these cinnamon chips just as you would chocolate chips–in cookies, in bread, or in muffins–any of your favorite recipes.
  • Intensely flavored cinnamon chips for wonderful baking results.
  • Mini-chips for a cinnamon burst in every bite.
  • Easy to use, just like chocolate chips.
  • Quality gourmet cinnamon chips used by major national bakeries so that you know they are good.
  • Packaged in stand-up, Vista® bags for a longer shelf life.
  • Resealable, zipper-type closure to hold that cinnamon taste longer.

Your family will love what you bake.

* The bulk 50 lb box of cinnamon chips ships free to the 48 contiguous states.
  1. This is a “zero trans fat” product.
  2. The manufacturer intended this to be a multipurpose cinnamon chip–either to hold its shape and create cinnamon nodules in the baked good or to be dissolved for a cinnamon presence throughout the loaf or muffin.  We have used these cinnamon chips extensively.  They will melt if added early in the mixing process.  If you want them to hold their shape, add your cinnamon chips at the end of the mixing process, the last ingredient that you add.  You will then have nodules of cinnamon as shown in the bread picture.
  3. We sell lots of these cinnamon chips and have never had a complaint.  Though we use these cinnamon baking chips in breads and muffins, it seems that the most popular use is for cookies.  We have included our favorite cinnamon chip muffin recipe below.
  4. It is recommended that you store these chips in a cool place to avoid melting.  We are not responsible for melted chips.

The Prepared Pantry is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky reader will win their own 11 oz bag of Gourmet Cinnamon Chips.  Thank you to The Prepared Pantry for the review chips and for sponsoring this super yummy giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!! Open to US residents.

Vintage Couture Outfit Review and Giveaway!!!

I recently connected with Vintage Couture and was asked to select an outfit for a review.  I chose the J Collection, Blue Jean with Black Stitch and the Green Hooded Extreme Music Shirt (there is no link for the shirt because it is apparently sold out).  I received the items and I have to tell you, I was so impressed with even the hang tags on these great pieces.  The jeans were very detailed with leather accents on the pockets, funky blue denim, frayed denim accents on the pockets, fleur-de-lis buttons and adjustable tabs in the waist of the jeans for a great fit.  The quality was top notch and the materials and finishings make these jeans really stand out.  The shirt is great too and a nice weight and mock layer with a hood and lots of rocker detail to make boys feel really cool.  The shirt is so comfy and the jeans were as well that my son wore them all day after the photo shoot.

Amamante, Night and Day Nursing Bra Review and Giveaway!!!

I recently had the opportunity to review a Night and Day nursing bra from Amamante Nursingwear. The soft, comfortable material is thin and breathable, and has a wide elastic band for support. The easy to use design allows you to just push it out-of-the-way without worrying about clasps, which makes it so nice for middle of the night feedings when you are still half sleeping! It is so comfortable for sleeping in, I barely noticed I was wearing anything! There were no sharp wires cutting into me and it was not too loose or too tight. Some of my nursing tank tops have tight elastic around the body and leave uncomfortable red marks and chafing, leaving me ready to take it off by the morning. While wearing the Night and Day Bra, I didn’t get any red marks and didn’t feel the need to take it off right away.

The versatility of the bra allows it to fit from cup sizes B to D, you just get the band in your size. This bra is the perfect solution for when you are pregnant and nursing and your cup size fluctuates! I found the bra very comfortable, I can clearly see how this would fit more than just one cup size. I sometimes have trouble finding nursing bras that fit because they usually only have the larger sizes, but this Night and Day bra fit very well.

The Night and Day Nursing bra is the same that is integrated into their Signature nursing nightgown and Serenity Nursing Pajamas, which is wonderful for nighttime use, but you can also get the same comfort throughout the day when you wear this bra. The signature nursing nightgown would be perfect for wearing during pregnancy since the bra is so comfortable, and the gown accommodates a growing belly.

Amamante Nursingwear is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! One lucky blog reader will win a Night and Day nursing bra!! Thank you Amamante for providing this lovely bra for review and sponsoring this fantastic giveaway!!! Open to US residents.
