The Original Slanket Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was very happy when I had the opportunity to review The Slanket recently.  I chose the chocolate Original Slanket and I could not be happier with it.  It is a really thick fleece that keeps you cozy warm but allows you to have your hands free when you need to blog, like I am right now, while wearing my Slanket.  It is so long and roomy, I am 5’8″ and it is about at least a foot longer than me it seems.  It is so big and cozy that if it had more sleeves, I could fit a couple of other people in here with me. Its size lets you move about without being the least bit constricting.  If you are looking for a great gift this Holiday Season, check out the Slanket.  Mommy Ramblings likes The Slanket so much we are adding it to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

Slanket has a wide selection of Slankets including: kids, travel, original, and siamese in multiple colors and patterns.  There is a Slanket for everyone!!!

The Slanket:

The Original Blanket with Sleeves!™

The Slanket is a gigantic fleece blanket with sleeves. A very soft to the touch, lightweight, but warm fleece blanket with large, loose sleeves designed so you don’t feel like you’re wearing the blanket, simply wrapped up in its wonder. The Slanket is designed to keep your entire body covered and cozy while you still retain the use of your hands. Simplistic and practical, its innovativeness opens up possibilities, but still can replace any normal blanket.

Slanket is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win an Original Slanket in the color/pattern of their choice.  Thank you Slanket for the review Slanket and for sponsoring this cozy give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

Candle Warmers,Contempo Candle Warmer Lamp Review & Give-Away!!! 3 Winners!!!

I love Candle Warmer’s products and I am back with a review of the Contempo Candle Warmer Lamp.  I was sent this lamp to review in the black finish.  It also came with a Bamboo Scented, Jamie Claire Candle in the Fine Fragrance Series.  It was super easy to get this lamp going right out of the box.  A tiny allen wrench was included to attach the lamp arm to the base.  Then you need to attach the shade and bulb and you are ready to go.  Just put the candle under the lamp and plug-in for a pleasing scent to be sent through your home. Lamp has a very nice toggle switch to easily turn it on and off. Candle Warmer Candle Lamps are a much safer option to burning candles. With no open flame, they are a much safer choice around children and pets.  The lamp light creates a cozy atmosphere as well.  Candle Warmers has such a great selection of products, there is truly something for everyone.

Mommy Ramblings thinks Candle Warmers is a great place to shop for your gifts this Holiday Season. You can find Candle Warmers on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

The Contempo Candle Warmer Lamp™ is the newest addition to Candle Warmer’s revolutionary candle warming lamps. With an updated modern look the Contempo Lamp creates the ambiance of a burning candle, warming and releasing the candle’s fragrance from the top down within minutes. All Contempo lamps are paired with a frosted white shade.

I have some great news, Candle Warmers is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings and 3 lucky blog readers will win their own  Contempo Candle Warmer Lamp™.  Thank you Candle Warmers for the review lamp and for sponsoring this awesome give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Give-Away open to US residents.

Nicobella’s vegan organic truffles are made with a creamy ganache center that is infused with high antioxidant ingredients such as green tea, blueberries and pumpkin.

I was recently sent a box of 6 truffles to review from nicobella.  This healthy chocolate is very healthy and also tastes great.  It is great when you can enjoy a treat that is good for you. The benefits of dark chocolate with the antioxidant ingredients make these truffles the right choice when you have that sweet tooth but still want to eat healthy.  Mommy Ramblings thinks these nicobella truffles would make a great stocking stuffer so we are adding them to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

Jacob Bromwell, Original Popcorn Popper Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I recently received an original Jacob Bromwell Original Popcorn Popper for review.  We have had our fireplace roaring lately, so we told the kiddies we were going to make popcorn on the fireplace after dinner.  They could not wait, my husband researched some ways to make kettle corn, so he got together a little concoction and we put some oil in the bottom of the popper and put some popcorn on top. We closed the lid and then shake, shake, shake over the fire.  In no time, the popping was heard and the kids were in awe.  We stopped somewhere in this process for my husband to add the ingredients for the kettle corn and then we continued popping.  As soon as we got it into a bowl, the munching commenced.  It was delicious, the best kettle corn ever!  The kids sat right in front of the fire and polished off that bowl. This is the first time we have ever made popcorn on the fire but I can tell you, it will quicky  become a weekend tradition in the Fall and Winter in this house.  It was a lot of fun and the end result was delicious.

Mommy Ramblings thinks this popper makes a great gift for the family.  We are putting it on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide under Family Gifts!!!  Get your pop on with your family and have some fun!!!

After this picture we removed the label and instructions and washed the popper with soap and warm water.

Ready to get popping!!!

Shake, Shake, Shake!!!

It's Popping!!!

It's done!!!

How many hands can we fit in that bowl?

Yum!!!

This here Jacob Bromwell Original Popcorn Popper is handcrafted the exac’ same way it’s always been for almost 20 decades, now. So do enjoy it the same way ma and pa would’ve in days gone by: with friends, family, and the open plains.
Tidbits o’ information aboutcher Original Popcorn Popper:

Petit Jean Meats, Dallas Cowboys “1/2 Spiral Sliced Bone-in-Ham” Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I recently had the opportunity to review a Petit Jean Spiral Ham, the official ham and bacon of the Dallas Cowboys.  My husband cooked it the other night and it was delicious.  Super easy to prepare and it tasted great.  It was so good, it was literally attacked out of the oven by my older sons, and when I asked my husband if he had taken a picture, he gasped.  Anyway, it was a huge hit in this household.  I worry all the time about hams being too salty and this ham was not. The flavor was perfect and the meat juicy and lean. Great for Thanksgiving Dinner with your Turkey.  This ham will get you lots of compliments and you can bet they will be making sandwiches a few hours later.

Our ham was delivered in a cooler and cold packs and arrived cold and fresh.

Every Ozark Hickory Smoked Spiral Sliced ham is individually hand-trimmed and seasoned with a blend of cloves, cinnamon, and other special ingredients before going into our old-fashioned smokehouse. Inside our smokehouse, each ham socks up the smoke from smoldering hickory chips for at least 16 hours. The result is a ham that is fully cooked, moist and tender through and through, with a incredible smoky flavor that goes all the way to the bone.

We are adding Petit Jean Meats to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.  Whether you are giving it for a gift or trimming your dinner table, Petit Jean Meats will be a hit.

Great news, Petit Jean Meats is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own 1/2 Spiral Sliced Bone-in-Ham.  Thank you Petit Jean Meats for the delicious review ham and for sponsoring this scrumptious give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.
