Aden + Anais Classic 47″ by 47″ Muslin Swaddling Blankets Review and Give-Away!!!

Swaddling is a great way to get your baby to sleep at night! It is safer than using a blanket, and helps baby feel snug and comfy, it’s like a cuddly blanket hug! The problem with swaddling, is that it is hard to find a blanket that works. The receiving blankets you get from the store just aren’t big enough, and you may get a rogue foot sticking out after you are done wrapping your baby, and big blankets are usually too thick and make your baby uncomfortably warm.

Aden + Anais sent me a set of their muslin swaddling blankets a short time ago, and after inspecting their blankets, I do believe they have found the solution to all of the problems I mentioned above! Their swaddling blankets are huge, 47″ by 47″, more than big enough to swaddle your baby securely. They are also lightweight and breathable, so your baby won’t get too hot, and just thick enough to keep them warm. Aden + Anais’ swaddling blankets are made out of natural muslin material that is so soft, and comes in so many fashion forward prints! They also have organic and bamboo lines of swaddling blankets, as well as a cozy line for cold winter nights, giving you various choices!

I chose the Alpha Bit swaddling 4 pack from their Classic collection and I love the coordinating prints! I also find myself using the swaddling blankets for a nursing cover and just a light blanket to wrap my baby up with while hanging out at home! Not to mention that it works great as an emergency spit-up cleaner as I have had the opportunity to discover. There are easy to understand diagrams right on the box to show you how to swaddle your baby!

Aden + Anais swaddling blankets are really one of a kind, and a must have for any new parents, they really work way better for swaddling than anything I have tried!

The idea for Aden + Anais swaddling blankets was born when founder Raegan Moya-Jones moved from Australia to the US, bringing with her, many native traditions of motherhood. One of those traditions was swaddling in pure cotton muslin, but when she couldn’t find the right blankets for it here in the US, she decided to do something about it!

Mommy Ramblings thinks that Aden + Anais Swaddle Blankets make a great gift for your baby, or for a new mother, so we are adding them to our 2011 Holiday Gift guide!!!

I have the privilege to inform all of you Mommy Rambling fans that Aden + Anais is sponsoring a give-away on the blog! One lucky reader will win a their choice of any product from Aden + Anais!!

Keurig MINI Plus Personal Brewing System Review!!!

I was recently sent a red Keurig MINI Plus Brewing System to review.  Our family is no stranger to the Keurig Brewing System and we have been using a Keurig Platinum for going on 2 years now.  We do have the biggest brewer  and it serves us very well with the very large reservoir for the water.  The MINI differs in that you need to put the water in every time you brew, as it only holds enough for your choice of a 6 oz, 8 oz or 10 oz cup.  Right out of the box, it was super easy to set up and the quick start guide will get you brewing in minutes. All you really need to do is make sure all tape and packing materials are removed.  Run through a cycle of just water only to clean the unit.  Then you are ready to brew.  It takes a minute or two to heat the water and then it brews the coffee.  The coffee was nice and hot and it brewed quickly.

I think this MINI unit would be great in a dorm room, RV, home office, for someone who is the only coffee drinker in the house or for small spaces.  I am so used to the large reservoir on our unit, that it seemed like a bit of a pain to have to fill it every time you need to brew a cup.  For a large household with more than one coffee/tea drinker I would definitely recommend going with a large Keurig with the water reservoir, but for one drinker and for small spaces the MINI is a good fit.  The coffee tasted great in the MINI just like my large Keurig and the machine worked well.

This is where you put the water before you brew, You determine the size of the cup brewed by adding water to the rim of the circle of the size you want.

After adding the water put you selected K-cup in the brewer.

Close it and press that brew button.

When the water is hot enough, it will automatically start brewing your coffee.

When the unit is finished brewing open the compartment and remove the used K-cup.

Once the K-cup is removed you can close the compartment until the next time.

Mmmm, now to enjoy your coffee!!!

Mommy Ramblings thinks this MINI Keurig Brewer works great and would recommend it for either small spaces, college dorms, or for the only coffee drinker in a household.  The MINI comes in 3 colors and would make a great gift for the right person this holiday season.   We are adding this to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

Canvas4life 30″ by 20″ Canvas Review & $25 Gift Card Give-Away!!!

I have a passion for photography, I love taking pictures and finding great ways to showcase my work.  I was recently asked to do a review for Canvas4life. When you decide to transfer your favorite photo onto canvas, Canvas4life knows it has to be just perfect. That’s why they source the finest materials and have mastered the art of creating the perfect canvas print that is sure to last a lifetime!  Each and every canvas print is professionally made up using the latest equipment and stretched to the correct tension equally over all dimensions, and mounted onto real artists’ stretcher bars, with corner wedges inserted. Unlike some companies who merely produce a canvas print and send bars for you to try to stretch and make up yourself; or others who simply use block board or glued together bars which do not allow for future tension adjustment.

Creating my 30″ by 20″ canvas on their Website was so simple, just uploaded my picture and then step by step created my canvas choosing the options I wanted.  Very quickly a large box was delivered and carefully packed inside was my beautiful canvas.  The colors were vivid, the quality superior and everyone that comes over remarks how much they love it. The picture on here of my canvas does not do it justice, as it is just stunning in person.  I appreciate all the available options and I was torn between getting it in full color or sepia because both looked great.  In the end I chose the full color with the bleed and I really like it.  It is quite an impressive piece and will be the center of a photo wall I am creating in our family room.

If you are looking for a great gift idea this holiday season, you should consider Canvas4life.  We like them so much we are adding them to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

“John Deere Fun on the Farm,Part 2” DVD Review & Give-Away!!!

Logo TM Books and Video

If you are a regular reader of Mommy Ramblings, you will remember we did a review and give-away on,  “John Deere Fun on the Farm, Part 1 DVD.”  Well, we are back again with Part 2.  I have to tell you, we received this and it was such a hit, it was watched 3 times in one day!!!  My boys love tractors and we live in the country so they love seeing how everything works and this DVD is also full of great songs, games and learning fun.  If you have a little one in your family who loves tractors and farm equipment, then you need to check out this DVD.

This DVD is such a hit we are putting it on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. It makes a great gift for the pre-school age children, on your list this holiday season.

John Deere Fun on the Farm, Part 2

This second part of the popular preschool series, Fun on the Farm, makes learning fun. See how big farm tractors plow, plant, and cultivate. Then the busy combines harvest. Have fun playing the counting, alphabet and cloud games. Learn about colors and shapes then draw a barn and a tractor.

We visit Fair Oaks Farms in Indiana, where ice cream and cheese are made from the milk of dairy cows, and we visit the birthing barn. See jobs tractors do with different implements, and watch little seeds grow into vegetables.

Fun farm action – milking cows, cutting hay, plowing, planting, cultivating, harvesting, big tractors, combines, and baby animals. Sing-along and smile to our favorite singer/songwriter James Coffey’s eight new songs.

John Deere Fun on the Farm, Part 2 will captivate and educate. Don’t miss it!

33 minutes
