Anatex Circle Play Center Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

As a seasoned parent, I am no stranger to Anatex.  We love their toys and I have been a long time customer, starting with the older kids. The Anatex rollercoaster, pathfinder and magnetic mazes are huge hits at our house over the last 2 decades.  The rollercoaster is as much fun then as it is now for my youngest two.  They truly make quality toys that last the test of time.  So when Anatex asked me if I would like to do a review for their Circle Play Center, I quickly said yes.  The Circle Play Center combines some of Anatex’s favorite toys together on a circle table.  My kids could not wait to be set loose on it and the magnetic circle maze was a favorite of my 4-year-old.  My 2-year-old loved it all and they both loved the rollercoaster and pathfinder.  This is a great play set for multiple children of multiple ages and would be great in a pre-school or waiting area.  Anatex toys are quality made and the kind you hand down from one generation to the next.  They will also hold up great in classroom settings where they are being used by lots of children.  No sharp edges, corners or small pieces to worry about.  This is certainly a great addition to our Anatex Toys.  Anatex also has this product on sale through October 31st, so you might just want to pick one or two up for the little ones on your holiday list this year!!!

Circle Play Center

The Circle Play Center combines 5 great toys in one adorable, compact center: Magnetic Circle Express, Pathfinder, Rollercoaster, Gears, and Wooden Blocks! Kids love playing with all of the fun activities on this toy, using their imagination to move the beads on the wires, sorting and matching the blocks, moving around both the colorful gears and the beads through the pathfinder maze, and using a magnetic wand to magically move the balls through the circular maze. This play table not only keeps kids entertained for hours, but promotes play-based learning, enhancing and challenging fine motor skills, shape and color recognition, eye-hand coordination and creative problem-solving skills.

Playtime has never been more fun and engaging! This table is great for the home, play rooms, classrooms, and waiting rooms!

Product Details:

  • Size: 8″ H x 15″ diameter
  • Item Weight: 6lbs
  • Recommended Age: 2+ years
  • Primarily Composed of wood
  • Made in the USA

phil & teds Metro Baby Backpack Carrier Review!!!

I was recently sent a phil & teds Metro Baby Backpack to review. This carrier offers superior functionality for when you need to keep your hands free or when a stroller is just not an option.  Backpack has loads of storage to hold everything you need and more.  Stable, self standing fold out base for controlled loading is super handy.  Tough, washable, waterproof nylon 300 & 600 denier fabric that with hold up on all your adventures and is easy to clean.  Slide-adjust harness system (infinite adjustment in 2-single steps) makes it super easy to keep your baby secure.  Folds flat for easy storage when not in use.  Sunhood with removable wind and rain cover is included as well as a padding changing mat for easy changes on the go.  My husband thought this carrier was light and comfortable and Luke enjoyed it too.  It is great for walks in the woods when the terrain will not allow a stoller.  Also great for tight places where you want your baby close and secure.  It was super easy to load and unload Luke from this backpack carrier and it is so compact when not in use it is easy to store on the top of a closet, in the trunk or under the bed.  If you are looking for a backpack carrier that is lightweight, comfortable and will go the distance, you should take a look at the phil & teds Metro. The retail price on this backpack carrier is $179.99.

Ruff Grip Large Dog Leash Review and Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent a Ruff Grip Large Dog Leash for review.  This one-of-a-kind dog leash combines rubber woven nylon with leather to create a good-looking,  super strong leash that has superior grip in any kind of weather. Wet or dry, your hands won’t slip. No more leash burn. Leather bands every six inches are sewn in and add to the unique control this leash gives you. The leather handle is padded with a luxuriously soft leather lining that makes it extremely comfortable.   This leash is like nothing I have ever seen.  Right out of the package I knew it was something special.  We have very different sized dogs ranging in size from the XL and solid muscle body of our American Bulldog, Delilah down to our smallest member, our tiny Maltese, Sassy.  This leash is great for Delilah.   It is really important to have good grip when you are walking Delilah, because if you don’t, she will be walking you.  The rubber woven nylon gives you such a great grip that just does not slip and feels so secure.  This leash is so well made and sturdy and so comfortable.  I am so glad to have been chosen to review this leash because we have discovered a leash we could not do without.

Ruff Grip is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky winner will win their own Ruff Grip Dog Leash.  Thank you Ruff Grip for the review leash and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  Open to US residents.

Righteously Raw, Raw Coconut Macaroons Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Over}

ESlogocolor

Raw chocolate is reported to be one of the leading antioxidant -rich substances on the planet. Dark chocolate’s flavanols and antioxidants step up the nitric acid in blood vessels to improve blood flow throughout the body and reduce blood pressure helping to manage your blood sugar.

Studies have demonstrated a solid connection between oxidant stress and chronic tissue damage which can lead to cancers and diabetes. This stress is shown to be countered by an abundant supply of antioxidants.

Raw chocolate also provides an abundant source of minerals like iron and magnesium and is one of the so-called “Superfoods.”

I was recently sent a bag of Righteously Raw, Raw Coconut Macaroons – Made With 80% Raw Cacao Covering.  Utilizing some of the most righteously nutritious superfoods on the planet, these unique coconut macaroon truffles give you everything you could ask for. Coated with a healthy dose of their award-winning raw cacao and packed with raw sun-dried coconut, these treats are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

I know that the taste of Raw Cacao is not everyone’s idea of sweet decadence. However, it is probably the healthiest chocolate to eat  I think it is something most people acquire a taste for, much like coffee.  I do enjoy dark chocolate so these were very tasty to me.  Not sugary sweet like most truffles but the bitter taste of the dark chocolate and the much sweeter coconut was a great taste.   I can tell you that they did not give me a sugar rush and then crashing feeling and I actually felt really good and very satisfied after eating them.  If you are looking to try a chocolate that is healthy for you, then check out Righteously Raw, they have a wide selection of healthy chocolate that you will not feel guilty indulging in.

Good news, Righteously Raw is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own bag of Righteously Raw, Raw Coconut Macaroons.  Thank you Righteously Raw for the review macaroons and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

Laser Pegs, 72 Piece Lighted Construction Set Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent the Laser Pegs, Lighted Construction Set to review.  This 72 piece set lets you build a tractor, dune buggy and mini bug and over 17 other models or your own creation.  Build and rebuild with this great set that lets you imagine and create whatever you can think of.  This set is for ages 7 and up, so since my little guys are so young, we let Daddy test it out while they watched. Daddy built the Dune Buggy, and we lit it up when it was done.  It reminded me of colored Christmas lights, so bright and cheery. The kids got a big kick out of it and Ethan was able to put some of the pieces on himself and learned how to light it up.  Laser Pegs has lots of other kits and models and you can create just about anything.  This is a very unique toy and adults and kids will be captivated with it.

ALL NEW — The 3-in-1 Kit comes with 72 pieces, one power unit, an instruction booklet, a plastic tray to store the Laser Pegs™. We feature plans for the following Laser Peg™ models in this creative toy kit: the Mini Monster Bug, the Tractor, and the Dune Buggy. You can also create some of the other models shown on the models page in the instruction booklet. Or you can use your own design to create any abstract model you can imagine. This kit needs three AA batteries which are not included however we strongly suggest using an AC Adapter with all our kits to get the absolute most out of the LP Experience!

Check out Laser Peg’s Models page you can actually build over 20 models with this one kit! Very fun for hours on END!!!!

We will continually update our web site with more models to build. You can also combine kits and power units to build a gigantic model. This is a great construction set with many toy model building options and can be enjoyed by kids or adults for many hours at a time!

The 72 Piece kit is designed for children aged 7 and older.

These would make a great gift for the little builder on your holiday list this year.  I have great news, Laser Pegs is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own 72 piece Laser Peg Construction Set.  Thank you Laser Pegs for the review set and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

ClothDiaper.com,OsoCozy All-in-One Cloth Diaper Review and Give-away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I recived an OsoCozy All-in-One cloth diaper a short time ago from Clothdiaper.comfor review. This diaper has quality, durable fabric that should last through at least a couple of babies! The 100% cotton birdseye fabric in the inside that goes against baby’s skin is comfortable and doesn’t stain easily, I myself haven’t seen a stain on it after using it for a couple weeks.

This OsoCozy diaper fit great on both my 8 month old and my 2 year old, thanks to the easily adjustable Aplix brand hook and loop closures! It comes in 5 cute colors, pink, white, light green, aqua and deep purple. It is an all in one, with waterproof outer fabric, and built in absorbent core, so it makes diaper changes quick and easy: just put it on, and you are done, no extra covers to use and no soakers to insert! You can use an extra soaker for more absorbency, but for daytime use it works great without!

After prepping the diaper by washing it a few times, I put it to the ultimate test, and used it on my baby at bedtime. I added an extra soaker because, well, almost no diaper is good enough by itself for nighttime use. Baby woke up in the morning with dry jammies! Some diapers wick moisture out onto baby’s clothes through the night, but this OsoCozy worked splendidly!
If you like the idea of quick and easy cloth diaper changes, then you’ll be happy to hear that Clothdiaper.com is sponsoring a give away on Mommy Ramblings!

Shout! Factory, CATDOG: SEASON 1 – PART 1 DVD Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

CATDOG: SEASON 1 – PART 1

POUNCES ITS WAY ONTO DVD

 

 The First 10 Episodes From The First Season Debuted On DVD

 October 18, 2011 from Shout! Factory

Running in circles has never been funnier or more exasperating unless you’re CatDog. Nickelodeon’s fraternal twins arrived kicking and screaming on DVD, October 18, 2011 from Shout! Factory. Featuring the first 10 episodes from the show’s premiere season, CatDog: Season 1 – Part 1 follows the adventures of the feline-canine brothers Cat and Dog, conjoinedtwins, who adore and irritate each other like fleas. Long anticipated by fans, CatDog: Season One – Part One has not been available in stores until now. A must have for fans of Nickelodeon, cartoon  fanatics and DVD collectors,  the two-disc DVD set has a suggested retail price of $19.93.

Like all of Nickelodeon’s classic shows, CatDog: Season One – Part One  features an all-star voice cast, which includes Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants, Rocko’s Modern Life), Jim Cummings (The Super Hero Squad Show, Reno 911) and Carlos Alazraqui (The Fairly OddParents, Rocko’s Modern Life).

A fan favorite, CatDog: Season One – Part One, is a tale of opposites attached starring CatDog, the most unlikely brother duo ever seen. The conjoined brothers love each other yet they are so different, they can’t help but annoy themselves silly with their contrarian activities. Prim and proper, Cat is the very definition of culture, while Dog is the ultimate tail-wagging, sofa-jumping, car-chasing roughneck. But despite their very different personalities, CatDog are the best of friends, sticking to one another — literally — through thick and thin, even when it comes to facing off against their devious neighbor Winslow and the rough ’n’ tough gang of Greaser Dogs!

Created by Peter Hannan, CatDog premiered on Nickelodeon in 1998 and ran for four seasons until 2001. Reruns aired on Nicktoons from 2002 to 2011.

I can remember how much my older kids liked to watch CatDog and I enjoyed watching it with them.  I was recently sent the first first 10 episodes of the first season to review and it is so funny.  It brings back lots of great memories of watching it with my older kids.  The theme song and so much of it comes back to me in a flash.  The running time on this DVD is about 300 minutes and it is rated TV-Y.  If you are looking for some rainy day entertainment, this DVD will have your kids laughing and I bet you will be too!!!

I have great news, Mommy Ramblings has been selected to run a give-away of this DVD.  One lucky blog reader will win their own CATDOG DVD, Featuring the first 10 episodes from the show’s premiere season, CatDog: Season 1 .  What a great give-away, thanks to the Shout! Factory for the review DVD and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  Open to US residents.
