Abiie Snap Lite Review & Give-Away!!! (3 Winners) {Give-Away Closed}

I was recently sent a Snap Lite to review.  This ingenious safety light is so easy to use and attach to strollers, car seats, bikes, bike trailers and ride on toys.  It has three operating modes, a random flash, steady flash and a steady beam.  Its signal is visible for up to a mile and the unit is weatherproof.  The silicon strap will not damage any surface or item you attach it to and fastens in 3 seconds.  I really recommend this Snap Lite for the peace of mind it gives you knowing you can be seen by motorist, cyclist and other vehicles.

ZUM-CX Balance Bike Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent a ZUM-CX balance bike to review.  My husband put it together very quickly and Ethan was more than happy to be a product tester.  At first we had the seat too low for him so we adjusted it and it was a better fit.  If you can walk you can ride.  The ZUM-CX Bike uses a foot to floor motion as a means of propulsion. The Bike is perfect for developing coordination and balance without the anxiety of training wheels. By learning balance first, the transition from the ZUM-CX Balance Bike to a traditional geared bicycle with pedals is made VERY easy. These bikes are constructed with the following features: 100% Clear Top Grade Birchwood – Patented steering that helps prevent Jack knife accidents – Rubber handgrips to protect little hands and the end of the handlebar from scuffs – Sealed cartridge bearings for maintenance free, silent and smooth running wheels – Rubber air inflated tires make for a smooth ride – High grade steel fasteners – Padded Vinyl Seat – Adjustable Seat Height – Non Toxic Lacquer Finish – ASTM Certified – Sustainably Harvested Wood. This bike is great for children (ages 2-6) that are just learning to ride. No peddles, and no brakes make this one of the easiest bikes for young riders to get around on. These bikes are built for years of enjoyment.

This balance bike is made of quality birchwood and does not have any pointy or sharp edges that could hurt a child.  The bike is solid and Ethan loved it.  He felt secure, did not feel scared and had a great time.  Balance bikes are great because they get a child used to balancing a bike and when they transition to a 2 wheel bike with pedals they are able to do it without training wheels at all in most cases.  I would highly recommend this ZUM-CX Balance Bike.  The Zum-CX Balance bike can be purchased at costco.com, amazon.com, samsclub.com, ebay.com, balancebikeshop.com as well as a number of other online retailers.

Would you like a chance to win one of these ZUM-CX Balance Bikes?  Then you will be thrilled to know that ZUM is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their very own ZUM-CX Balance Bike.  Thank you ZUM for the review bike and sponsoring this awesome give-away!!!  Open to US Residents.

Jahgoo Potty Review!!!

I was recently sent a Jahgoo Potty to review.  Luke is not potty training yet, but will as soon as I feel he is ready.  This sleek modern little potty is great.  It is only 2 pieces, and has a smooth and clean design that is easy to clean and empty.  Its size makes it a great potty to keep in the car for trips where rest areas are far and few between.  The potty is designed to fit both boys and girls and is available in 4 colors  Check out the Jahgoo Website for this and other great baby products.

Vicky Lansky’s Books, 101 Ways To Tell Your Child “I Love You” & Toilet Training (2 books in one) A Practical Guide to Daytime and Nighttime Training Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I recently was sent 2 of Vicky Lansky’s books to review.  The first one was, 101 Ways To Tell Your Child “I Love You”  This book was newly updated and re-published.  This 124 page book gives you lots of cute ideas to use to tell your child that you love them.  It is so important that our children know we love them.   I really like the ideas in this book such as leaving little notes in unexpected places, hanging red hearts in a doorway, making your child a special, welcome home banner on the first day of school and much more.  This book gives you many ways to say I love you to your child other than just saying the three words.  It is so important for our children’s emotional health to let them know often and in many ways how much we love them.  I really think this is a great little book.

The next book is the revised and updated, Toilet Training, A Practical Guide to Daytime and Nighttime Training.  This book also includes a bonus book, Koko Bear’s New Potty, which is a book for your child.  This book covers how to set the stage for toilet training, recognize readiness, choosing a potty seat, dressing your child for success, dealing with an uncooperative child, handling accidents, how to cope when traveling and much more.  The bonus book, KoKo Bear’s New Potty, is a read-together book that is wonderfully illustrated and includes a great unisex story that will help make toilet training easy and fun.

Vicky Lansky is generously sponsoring a give-away here on Mommy Ramblings.  One of our blog readers will win both of these books (3 counting the bonus book.)  Thank you Vicky for supplying the review books and the give-away books.

Novica Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Welcome to Novica.com!

I was thrilled to connect with Novica a few weeks ago.   NOVICA,  in association with National Geographic,  gives artisans around the WORLD a place to express their incredible talents and is  a leading provider of fine art,  fair trade corporate gifts,  and elegant home decor.  NOVICA supplies a bridge between you and over 2,000 master artists whose wonderful handcrafted works of art you normally would never get the chance to view or purchase.

I was given a gift certificate to purchase something and to get aquainted with the Novica experience.  With so many artisians and places to choose from it was very difficult.  I ended up choosing Pinewood wall art, “Angel of Hope.”  Shaped of pinewood, a beautiful angel brings a message of hope. Woodworkers of Jesus create this beautiful image, painted by hand in radiant color. The sun glows on her chest while birds, flowers and animals flourish under her protection.  An artisan story card is included with purchase.

What a wonderful way to buy beautiful things from skilled artisans all over the world.  This handcrafted angel came with free gift wrap and when I opened it I just loved the colors and the workmanship was beautiful.  This is such a colorful piece and it just makes me happy to see it.  Some beautiful things include Womens Robes, Sarongs and Floral Bracelets.

Fresh Baby, Divided Dish & Baby Bowl Review and Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I like to feed my kids healthy food.  We are big fruit eaters, but it is hard to find healthy snacks when you are on the run a lot.  Most times bags of chips or cookies are readily available, but they are not really healthy choices.  Fresh Baby sent me a divided dish with cover and bowl with cover.  They are stainless steel inside, dishwasher safe. freezer safe and they make it super easy for me to tote along healthy snacks when we are on the go.  I can simply cut up some fresh fruit and pop them in my diaper bag.  Then when the kids are fussy and there are no healthy snacks around, I can pull them out and have happy kids.  I really like that the divided dish is so versatile, the divider is removable for just one item or it can be fit in any of the three notches to divide the dish up into differnt size compartments.  These dishes are also great if you make your own baby food and the stainless steel is easy to clean.  I really like these dishes and highly recommend them.

Fresh Baby is so generous that they are sponsoring a give-away here on Mommy Ramblings.  One of our lucky blog readers is going to get their own bowl and divided dish.  Thank you Fresh Baby for the review pieces and sponsoring this great give-away!!!

Bears! Bears! Bears! By Bob Barner Childrens Storybook Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Bears!, to review.  Storytime is a big deal around here and we are always on the search for great books.  I read this as a bedtime story the other night to my four year old.  This book is an easy read with great colorful pictures and tells young children about the different types of bears, their habbits and where they live.  This book was a great springboard for my son and I to discuss what kind of bears live near us, how big they are, what they eat and their physical characteristics.   It is a great book and I would recommend it for young children.
