Lehman’s, Wrought Iron Mitten Tree Review & Giveaway!!!

279_LehmansLogo

Living where it gets cold and snowy in the Winter, I sure know what it is like to have soggy mittens coming in along with rosy-cheeked, kids after playing in the snow.  Lehman’s has this great wrought iron Mitten Tree I just had to try.  This nifty tree will air dry your mittens so they are dry and ready for your next adventure.  I like to put ours in front of the fire (not too close) so they are dry in a jiffy but you could put this rack anywhere and it will help your mittens or gloves dry fast.  Mommy Ramblings thinks this great Mitten Tree would make a great gift and so we are putting it on our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide!

mittentree

 

  • Air-dries up to 4 pairs of mittens or gloves
  • Works great for hats, too
  • Set near your woodstove or heater for warm, toasty mittens, gloves and hats
  • Lightweight and sturdy – will last many years
  • Adds a decorative touch to the hearth
  • Use to dry baby bottles or plastic bags, too
  • 28-1/2″H, 11″W, 1-1/2 lb

A Little Background on Lehman’s:

At Lehman’s, being old-fashioned is always in fashion. That’s why our massive, 32,000-square-foot retail store contains four pre-Civil War era buildings, including a Buggy Barn cinema, where you can relax on Amish-made hickory church pews while learning about organic gardening, oil lamp restoration or wood stove maintenance.

Museum-quality antiques line the walls and thousands of products you thought they quit making years ago fill the shelves. You’ll fall in love with our oil lamps, handmade pottery and copper cookie cutters; marvel at our wood-burning cook stoves and retro refrigerators; and reminisce with our wooden and tin toys, cast iron cookware, hand tools and water pumps.

Lehman’s ships old-fashioned, non-electric merchandise all over the world through our catalogs and website. Our diverse customer base includes missionaries and doctors working in developing countries; homesteaders and environmentalists living in remote areas; people with unreliable electricity living on islands and mountains; second home owners, hunters, fishers and cabin dwellers; the ‘chronically nostalgic,’ and even Hollywood set designers looking for historically accurate period pieces.

If you think it isn’t made anymore, check with Lehman’s before you give up. And next time you’re in Ohio’s Amish Country, stop by our store on the square in Kidron. We’d love to show you around.

Preserve Those Magical Years With Your Santa Story DVD!!!

santastorylogoI don’t know about you, but my little ones may be just 3 and 5 but they are sharp, and I feel like those magical years with Santa which have just begun are very numbered.  I want to have that magic with them as long as possible, and so when I was introduced to Your Santa Story a few weeks ago I was intrigued.  Your Santa Story is a custom DVD that you customize easily online, and play for your child Christmas morning.  In this special personalized video for your whole family, Santa comments on the cookies that were left for him, the pets he saw and since you customize the entire script,  Santa will call each child by name and praise them on whatever you put in the script that they worked hard at all year.  For instance he can praise a school age child for the strides they made in their multiplication tables or a younger child on sharing with siblings. The last thing Santa will say is that he left one gift for the family in a place you specified in the script. Since you customize the script, you put whatever you want in it.  When you are done with the script you will be able to review and approve it and then once you have given the okay, your DVD will be created and shipped out to you.  I cannot wait to see everyone’s face when I put this in Christmas morning, I even put something in for the older kids hehehe, it is going to be great.  When Santa talks about things he could have only see by being in our home the night before my little ones will be very impressed and hopefully that magic will last a little longer.  If you are looking for something special to preserve that Santa magic in your home for a few priceless years, check out Your Santa Story.   You can also find Your Santa Story on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest!

“The Christmas Humbugs” by Colleen Monroe & Michael Glenn Monroe, Review and Giveaway!!!

We received an autographed copy of The Christmas Humbugs which I guess could become a new Christmas Classic.  It is the story of these little Humbug Creatures who are tiny and green with red and white stockings on their feet.  They pick houses that are filled with joy and slip through keyholes to test the spirit of Christmas.  They are a naughty bunch as they go about ripping holes in stockings, breaking candy canes, eating all of Santa’s Cookies and much more!  When they feel they are through they turn around to look at the havoc they have caused only to discover that the Spirit of Christmas can’t be broken and all is restored as it was.  My five-year old was aghast at what they were doing and asked me if they were going to do that to our house.  Then at the end he felt much better that nothing was ruined.

Details:

Christmas is coming but someone is playing tricks! Torn stockings and broken candy canes reveal that the Christmas Humbugs have arrived at this holiday home. But never fear! Lively rhymes and merry illustrations lift spirits and let readers know that not even the Humbugs can dampen Christmas cheer.

Baby-BeeHaven, Cush ‘N Go Memory Foam Stroller Cushion Review and Giveaway!!!

Some strollers, especially those marketed as lightweight and easy to fold compactly can be lacking in padding or comfort.  Many umbrella type strollers are just a thin piece of canvas or material, and the bigger strollers usually don’t have much more than a thin layer of batting on top of the hard plastic seat.  I was thrilled to test the Baby-BeeHaven’s Cush ’n Go recently. The Cush ’n Go for strollers is made of a firm but soft memory foam pad that supports baby’s back, head and neck. The black cover material is a luxurious, plush bubble fabric, and the other side is a soft, comfy jersey fabric with cute little bumblebees! They have a girl’s version of the Cush ’n Go as well, it is pink lepoard  print with ruffles. It fits in most strollers, and has cut outs for many levels of shoulder straps as well as the waist belt. The Cush ’n Go makes any stroller much more comfortable. When your baby or toddler is in a stroller for long shopping trip, or daytrips to the zoo, theme park or other outing, comfort is a must! My boys always wanted out of the stroller after a little while, so with the Cush ’n Go, they can last longer without getting uncomfortable! When I tried it out on my umbrella stroller, all of my boys wanted to try it out, and took turns sitting in it and pushing each other. They apparently found it very cozy and soft. If your stroller doesn’t have much padding, and you find your kids wanting to get out after only a little while, you should consider the Cush ’n Go to add extra comfort and support for your wee ones head and bottom!

Soft, stylish support for baby’s back, head, & neck
High-quality memory foam conforms to infant’s head, decreasing resistance and the risk of flat-head syndrome.
Recommended by medical professionals
Reversible, two-sided design
Compatible with most stroller harness systems.
Machine washable (read care instructions)
Product dimensions (WDH): 13.4″ x 1″ x 29″
Baby-BeeHaven also has other products for a new or seasoned mom or dad! Some of their other products are the See ‘n Store, a stroller organizer, Swingin’ Smart, a toddler swing cover to keep your baby free of germs at the playground! Their last product is the Dream Feeder, a plush cushion to protect mom’s arm from the weight of baby’s head, or an uncomfortable chair arm while holding baby
