If you have never heard of Jillie Willie, then you are in for a real treat. These super cute and feminine aprons are so functional and nostalgic. I love aprons and I love using them for cooking, baking and even carrying in the veggies from the garden.
“There’s something about aprons that conjures up unforgettable memories of days gone by, of mothers and kitchens.” -Jill Grover, owner of Jillie Willie.
Jill sent me the Suzy Q Apron to review and I will just tell you, that I adore it!!! It is so functional with the attached towel and handy lined pocket. It is done in adorable coordinating fabrics and is very cute and trendy. I think it is very unique and love that it has an attached terry towel that can be used to wipe your hands or the hands of your kiddies. I love wearing this apron when cooking and baking. It is also going to come in very handy in the vegetable garden this summer. Jillie Willie is also providing Mommy Ramblings with another Suzy Q apron for a give-away for one of our lucky blog readers.

Build A Dream Playhouses sent me a Pop N’ Play Castle to review. It was up straight out of the box and only needed about 15 seconds to push a couple of flaps down. My 4 year old was glad to do the exploring. As you can see from the photos he had a grand time. This is great because it can be decorated by the kids with markers, crayons or paint. Makes a great rainy day activity. It would also be a great activity for a birthday party or play date. It is constructed well and is very sturdy. It allows for a lot of imaginary and constructive play.
Calling all princes, princesses, kings and queens to rule the finest flat-pack castle in the land! Simply unfold and watch the castle come alive as medieval archways, workshops, and a drawbridge appear before your eyes.

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!!!

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.

I was very excited to be chosen to review the Classic Lunch & Go Heated Lunch Tote (www.warmandtote.com). This versatile tote can be used hot or cold. I like the fact that it allows me to keep food warm while we are traveling. I am able to keep a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches warm for the kids even if they want to eat them 3 hours after we hit the road. With 2 toddlers this is really great, plus if you are on the road for a trip you can keep food warm from a lunch stop and they can eat it later. It is also great for keeping food cold so no matter the menu, you can keep lunch fresh. Another thing I love is the adjustable strap it easily can be slung over my shoulder and feels secure, leaving my hands free for the multitude of other things I need to carry. The 10″ by 8″ roomy soft sided bag allows me to pack a variety of foods very easily. Keep a hot hero hot and a cold sub cold.
This tote is great to pack a childs lunch in school. They can have a hot healthy lunch from home that will be nice and warm hours later. This allows us to make healthy food that our kids will eat. The tote comes with 1 reusable turbo heat pack that lasts for 5 hours hot and 8-10 hours cold. The heat pack is heated in the microwave or cooled in the freezer.
Take a look at their website-www.warmandtote.com- to see the variety of great products they carry like:
The Pre-School Bundle
The Husky Lunch & Go
Warm & Tote is providing a coupon code for any order my blog readers place-Use 20% Coupon Code “MommyRamblings”

I was delighted when I heard ScentSationals wanted me to review a warmer and wax. I got to pick a warmer and I chose the Antique Greek as I loved the pottery look and felt it would go well with my decor. I picked three wax scents and chose, No Place Like Home, Black Raspberry Vanilla and Vanilla Bean. My warmer and wax arrived shortly after and I absolutely love the design of the warmer. It definitely has that pottery feel and look I love.
The warmer uses an included 25 watt light bulb to heat the wax and that really appealed to me because with little ones around, candles can be dangerous.
The top of the warmer has a well for holding the wax cubes as they melt. The top is very nicely glazed so when you pour out the wax all you need is to wipe it with a paper towel and it is clean and ready for the next use
.
The warmer has a nice length of cord that allows you options in placement. The cord also has a switch to turn the warmer on and off without having to unplug it. I set it up in my kitchen and the first scent of wax I chose to use was the “No Place Like Home.” You simply break off 1 wax cube and put it in the warmer and turn it on. In no time the wax starts to melt and release a fabulous aroma that filled my whole house. I loved the smell of the “No Place Like Home” the comforting essence of sweet cinnamon, warm clove and fresh nutmeg accented with subtle nuances of fresh basil and eucalyptus filled my home with a pleasing aroma that made me feel comfortable and cozy. I went out for a walk and upon coming home it was the first thing I smelled when I opened the door and it made me smile.
|
The great thing is the fragrance lasts and the instructions tell you if you put it on for an hour in the morning and an hour at night, that your home will have lasting scent. This is true but I love mine so much, I keep it on even longer. When you are ready to shut it off you simply pour the wax back in the tray and it will harden and you can use it again until you feel it does not have scent left. The next day I tried the ” Vanilla Bean” and that had a wonderful aroma that just made my home smell so pleasing to us all. The following day I tried the “Black Raspberry Vanilla” and loved that too. I immediately went to www.ScentSationals.com and ordered 4 more scents. I truly love this warmer and use it everyday. Take a look at their website and see all the warmer designs and wax scents they have. I think you will be very impressed. The price of the products is very affordable and much less then similar companies. The ScentSationals Company is sponsoring a give-away for my blog readers. One lucky reader will receive the Antique Greek warmer and the three scents of wax I mentioned above. All you have to do is visit the www.ScentSationals.com page and tell me a product you would like to try then leave the comment on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mommy-Ramblings/142284565832382). You can get a second entry if you like ScentSationals on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ScentSationalsWicklessCandles?sk=app_4949752878) and comment on my Mommy Rambling’s Facebook page that you liked them. You can get a third entry if you share this give-away as your Facebook status and comment with the link to your page on my Mommy Rambling’s Facebook page. If you have given up Facebook for lent you can leave your comment here and it will get you an entry in the give-away. Give-away ends March 26th at 12 am EST. Good luck everyone!!! |
