Juliet Dream, Rust Cowl Sweater Review and Divine Top Giveaway!!!

I recently had the opportunity to review a Rust Cowl Sweater from Juliet Dream. I love this sweater, the material is soft and luxurious, it’s medium weight, not too thick and heavy like some can be. I think the style of this top is classy and graceful. I paired it with a wide belt and I love the style! It can hold it’s own by itself, but I always like to accessorize and this style of sweater accommodates for that! One thing I really like is the sleeves, they are long enough to cover the top of my hands. Some tops don’t have sleeves that are long enough and makes it feel like it’s too small, but these sleeves were just the right length. It also looks just fine if you roll the sleeves up and wear them at your elbows, and they stay there, which was helpful when I was giving my boys a bath, you moms have to appreciate that! It was very comfortable and felt good wearing it.

Juliet Dream’s aspiration is to provide comfortable, stylish apparel to expectant mothers that will reflect their beauty and confidence. They also carry attractive women’s and nursing attire, all proudly made in the USA. Since their launch in 2001, they have created a name for themselves: People identify Juliet Dream with their award-winning fit and superior quality, romantic fashions. They have attracted many customers who are looking for stylish women’s, maternity and nursing wear. Some of their customers include celebrity moms like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba. Apparel from Juliet Dream has been featured in many magazines including Fit Pregnancy, American Baby and Pregnancy & Newborn.

Fiesta Bakeware, Rectangular and Square Baker Review and Loaf Pan Giveaway!!!

 

Homer Laughlin began making its iconic brand of Fiesta Dinnerware in 1936, more than 75 years ago. Fiesta was originally designed by Frederick Hurten Rhead; today it is the most collected brand of dinnerware. Made at the original historic factory in Newell, WV, Fiesta Dinnerware continues to top bridal registries as the must-have in everyday dinnerware. Truly a leader in the housewares category, Homer Laughlin is the largest and last remaining major dinnerware manufacturer in the United States.

I was thrilled recently to have the opportunity to review 2 great pieces of Fiesta Bakeware.  I chose the Rectangular and Square Baker Set which consists of a 9″ by 13″  and a 9″ by 9″ pan.  The pans are dishwasher, oven, and microwave safe, made of fully vitrified lead-free china with a color glaze and made in the USA.  I selected both in the peacock color.  I was very impressed with the weight and quality of the bakeware.  The first thing I did was run them through the dishwasher.  They emerged beautifully clean and shiny and ready for their review.  I thought it only fitting to bake a pan of Fiesta Brownies to try our the 13″ by 9″ size and I made some chocolate truffle brownies in the 9″ by 9″ pan.  -They baked in the allotted time and cooked evenly.  They did not stick at all to the pan and released easily.  I put them back in the dishwasher where they came out as if they had never been used.  I find them so handy for a multitude of cooking, baking and serving needs.  Fiesta Bakeware comes in a rainbow of colors so you can mix and match any way you want.  If you are looking for quality bakeware that is safe and made in the USA, check out Fiesta Bakeware.

See how nicely they came out of the pan, now a quick run in the dishwasher and we will be good to go again.

I am happy to let you know that Homer Laughlin is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a Fiesta Bakeware Loaf Pan in the Fiesta color of their choice.  Thank you Homer Laughlin for the review bakeware and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

My Sibling & My Pal Doll For Going Green Review and Giveaway!!!

My Sibling & My Pal Dolls

 

I recently had the opportunity to review a My Pal 18″ doll. I chose the blonde haired, blue eyed Going Green doll for my nieces, because their coloring is similar and I thought they would like their new little sister to look like them! The doll has a soft body, with moveable, poseable, plastic arms and legs. Her face is detailed with a slight smile and pretty little eyelashes on her blue eyes that close when you lay her down. Her long hair has a healthy looking shine to it and is easy to brush out and style with braids, or pigtails.

My Pal’s Going Green Doll outfit is made completely in the USA, recycled from adult clothing, and re-sewn into doll clothes! Her outfit is a cute neutral style, a green t-shirt with a beige skirt, a matching headband and a cute plaid handbag. They are well made, and easy to take on and off for little girls who love dressing their dolls! Her sandals are made of recycled cardboard and covered in fabric, they are so unique and give her an earthy vibe. My niece was captivated by her new friend, and couldn’t wait to have her in her arms. I think she was pretty tickled that the doll looked like her, with blonde hair and blue-green eyes!

My Pal for Going Green doll’s mission is to help raise awareness about caring for the environment. She came with a little booklet that suggests websites and books and provides her new friends with information on going green. There are also blank pages to encourage your child to write their own story on what they have done, or are planning to do for the environment. The booklet is printed on 100% recycled paper!

My Pal also make a boy version of their Going Green Doll.

Handsome 18″ boy doll with blonde hair, blue eyes and light skin has soft body and poseable plastic head, arms and legs. Hair is rooted..

  • khaki shorts and t shirt made from re-used materials
  • matching sandals
  • recycling totebag FOR DISPLAY PURPOSES ONLY – NOT TO PLAY WITH

My Sibling/My Pal has dolls and plush toys to help kids understand how children with disabilities like autism, socialize and develop differently. Others have their own humanitarian causes to promote like My Pal for Peace and My pal the Patriot. Each doll comes with their own booklet to help explain why their cause is relevant in a kid-friendly way.

My Sibling/ My Pal provides work experience for teens and adults with disabilities with their Work Experience Program. By giving them the opportunity to help assemble, dress and package their dolls and other products, My Sibling/ My Pal is helping these students and adults get the skills they need to eventually find employment where they otherwise may not have been eligible for. My Sibling/My Pal reaches out to public and private schools and adult programs, who wish for their students and adult workers to get real job experiences.

 

 

My Sibling/My Pal is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will win their choice of the boy or girl My Pal For Going Green Doll. Thank you My Sibling/My Pal for this fantastic review doll and for sponsoring this great giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

 Our Views:

I was sent a pair of pediped flex shoes for my four-year old son. The style we received was the Flex Hayden in Navy/Red. When pediped says flex, they mean flex. These are extremely flexible shoes and after he tried them on, I really could not keep him still.  He told me they were great shoes for running and then quickly demonstrated his incredible speed with them.  They are quality constructed and the Velcro closures make it easy to get a snug fit and lets kids who cannot tie laces yet, get their shoes on and fastened, which is a great help to mom and dad on mornings when we are running late for preschool.  The shoes light athletic style is perfect for spring and summer.  The shoes have a suede upper, all natural rubber sole, and features the Flex Fit System, which allows children to adjust the fit of their shoes and prolong the length of wear.  These shoes have the approval of the American Podiatric Medical Association for promoting healthy foot development.

The Monster Eater Kit Review and Giveaway!!!

The Monster Eater Kit

I am in my third decade of being a parent.  With five kids from toddlers to young adults, there is one issue that I have heard from countless parents.  That issue is monsters.  My kids are a bit different because they never went through that. While I know my youngest 2 are still very little, and it could become an issue, right now they have no fear of monsters and think they are funny.  What is not funny, is the stories of interrupted sleep, tears and terror that little ones and their parents experience when there is an issue of monsters.

Over the years, I have heard about filling a spray bottle with water, adding some glitter and telling the child it was a special spray of monster repellent.  Well, one mom took that idea a bit further when trying to get her daughter through her fear of monsters in her room.  Seeing the fear in her daughter, she knew that other kids may be facing the same fear, and she wanted to help.  The Monster Eater Kit includes The Monster Eater’s Battle Under the Bed book, by Wendy Lasater, Einar-The monster eater plush doll and the Monster Eater monster repellent spray bottle.  There is a special T-Shirt that will be included in the first 200 kits, that will remind a child to be brave.

Many children discover they have a monster in their room and are afraid to go to sleep.  Unfortunately, adults have a hard time seeing the monsters to help make them go away.  Now there is help! Join Sophia as she gets help from the brave Monster Eater to get rid of the monster lurking under her bed.  After the battle, Sophia discovers a magical secret to conquering monsters forever! 23 pages, fully illustrated by Nick and Sheri Gillett. Book size is 12 inches wide x 9 inches tall – a great size for smaller hands.

Plush Einar  is designed to be scary to the monsters yet nice to all children.  He was designed to provide that little extra comfort to children in knowing they can snuggle up to the hero who will defeat any monster in their room (and maybe fall asleep a bit faster too!)  Einar is approximately 15 inches tall and stuffed just right to be extra cuddly.  He is featured throughout the book and helps bring the story to life for kids. NOT recommended for children under 3.

If your child needs that little extra feeling of really making the monsters go away when they are lurking about, this special weapon is the tool!  Just fill with water and equip your child with the added bravery that whenever a monster is sprayed, the monster will magically disappear! NOT recommended for children under 3.
Let your child proudly show the world they are BRAVE by wearing an Einar Tee Shirt!  Each shirt is 100% pre-shrunk cotton jersey.  Kids really love wearing these cool shirts!Why not top it all off, since you’re at it?!

This is a great kit that has everything you need to ease your child’s fears and help everyone get the rest they need.  If your child is having an issue with monsters, visit www.themonstereater.com.

Scarves Dot Net, Finley Loop Scarf Review and $20 Gift Certificate Giveaway!!!

You may remember in the past we did a review of a scarf and had a giveaway for a company called Affordable Scarves.  Well, Affordable Scarves has a new name and is now, Scarves Dot Net.  I recently had the opportunity to choose a scarf to review.  I chose the Finley Loop Scarf in olive-green, but when it arrived it was hunter green.  I emailed customer service and immediately they emailed me a postage paid label to return the scarf and sent me out the correct color.  Their customer service was great, no hassles, great service and fast shipment of the right scarf.

When the correct scarf arrived I was impressed with the size and quality.  My daughter is the scarf person and always tells me I should use them to accessorize, but I often feel inadequate when deciding how to wear them, how to tie them and what to wear them with.  I love them when other people have them on, but I used to feel like I just didn’t know how to pull it all together.  Well, Scarves Dot Net makes it easy to find the right scarf and shows you how to wear them, they even have a blog with lots of ideas.  That kind of stuff is so helpful to me as I used to be very intimidated around scarves.  With the help of their site and their blog it is so much easier than just choosing a scarf off a rack in a store because I can easily see great ways to wear it.  Great quality, excellent prices, huge selection and great customer service makes Scarves Dot Net, the place to shop for scarves.  Check out their great selection of Spring Scarves!

Finley Loop Scarf

Spruce up your boring winter coat with our Finley Loop Scarf! This cozy warm solid scarf has a thick cable knit weave in an easy-to-use loop scarf design. Available in hunter and olive-green.

Hero Huggers Kid’s Belt Review and Giveaway!!!

+

I recently had the opportunity to review a kid’s belt from Hero Huggers.  They have quite a large selection of styles, patterns and colors, but when I saw the blue with the different color tractors, I knew that was it!  The belt came and it is a vibrant blue with orange, green and red tractors going all the way around.  The belt is great for little ones who don’t have time to fumble with a buckle when they are newly potty trained.  The belt fastens securely with a Velcro closure so it is easy to fasten and unfasten without mom or dad’s help. My little guys are both very slim and we often deal with pants being loose even when they have an adjustable waist so these belts are great to make sure their pants stay on.  Take a look at Hero Huggers Kid’s belts, you will find a large selection of patterns and styles for boys and girls that they will love to wear.  If you shop now I believe that every belt on their site is on sale!!!

Hero Huggers is founded on the principles of giving back to the community and supporting children’s causes while making a fun, high quality, safe product.  Hero Huggers has their own manufacturing facility in the Metro Detroit area where their production staff makes each product buy hand one-at-a-time for children around the world.  Hero Huggers proudly makes their products in the USA!

Fill in the Blankz, White Plush Toy by Always Been Creative, Inc. Review and Giveaway!!!

I recently received 2 Series 1 Fill in The Blankz, White Plush Toys for review.  We received No Bully and White Hound.  Glenn Rudin founder of Always Been Creative, Inc. and inventor of the blankZ knows that kids will appreciate a toy that not only challenges their creativity, but can be designed over and over again.  The Series 1 set has seven blank characters including; Bare (bear), No Bully (bull), Piggy BlankZ (pig), Ele-Faint (elephant), White Hound (dog), Blank Bunny (rabbit) and Un-Sealed (seal).  Every blankZ toy is packed with 5 water-color markers in a colorful acetate box (designed to look like an old-fashioned circus animal train car) so it remains clean.  Each blankZ toy also includes a blankZdrop™ card so that the designer can also create the toy’s living environment. Finally each toy is adorned with its own removable hangtag, which has a poem describing the character.  The company plans an interactive website that will challenge designers around the country with contests to come up with the best blankZ design.

My kids were thrilled when I told them they could color these animals any way they wanted.  I also explained that when they wanted to do it again, we would just put them in the wash and they would be white like before.  The first thing they both did was give these characters eyes. Then they finished with my son Ethan whose favorite color is green, coloring the whole thing almost all green and Luke took it more abstract and Picasso like.  I had pictures of the finished products but when I looked at my chip, I can’t find them.  I will update as I think they are on another chip.  I guess I should not say final product because anytime your child wants to create a new design, they can by just sending the animals through the washer and dryer.  Then they will have a blank canvas to create a new masterpiece on.  Just make sure your kids only use the included markers so that it will all wash off when you want it to.  If you are looking for a great gift to spark creativity in your child, that can be used again and again, check out Fill In The Blankz and let your child be the designer.

Always Been Creative, Inc. is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a Series 1, Fill in the Blankz, White Plush Toy.  Thank you Always Been Creative, Inc. for the great review items and for sponsoring this creative giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.
