Mindy's Mayhem Reviews and More

Rise Gear sent me their jumper in exchange for my honest review. I have never seen anything like Rise Gear. Their products remind of those hanging shelves that you put in your closest. They luggage has built in shelves that you can organize with all your items and then when you get to where you're going you simply open the bag un-attach the hooks and hang it on a door or in the closet for easy, organized traveling.   I love how they have a helpful hints as to what to put in each of the shelves. My favorite part of the Rise Jumper is the top has a zipper area which where you put your shoes. I cant tell you how many times I've travels and my shoes flip and some dirt gets on my clean clothes and then they become dirty and it's always a bummer. Rise was thinking about everything when they made their products. The rise jumper is the perfect size! It makes the perfect carry on and you can also fit 2 of them into your checked luggage to keep everything very well organized. I

Newman's Own was very kind and sent me a box of goodies to review in exchange for my honest review. They are also hosting a giveaway so one lucky reader will receive everything I did. The things they sent me are: Newman-o's Fig Newmans Organic Pop'scorn Hermits Cinnamon Graham alphabet cookies Orange chocolate chip cookies Strawberry licorice twists Peppermints           Newman's own is different than a lot of companies. They donate 100% of their profits to charities, They only keep them money to cover costs of the business and everything else gets donated. Newman's Own also keeps all of their products natural and organic. Which for my readers who know me, know I love finding natural, organic products that taste good. Too often organic foods have lack of flavor but not with Newman's Own! All of their products taste amazing! The favorites in our house were the licorice, the newman o's and the alphabet cookies. a Rafflecopter giveaway

STEP ONE STEP TWO STEP THREE FunBites sent me 3 of their funbites to review. I love the idea of Funbites. They allow you turn food into art which makes even the pickiest of kids eat their food. I love the variety of  shapes they have! They offer simply squares, hearts, triangles, and even fun shapes from kid favorite shows like paw patrol and the minion movie.                        

It's that time again for another Chewy.com review. This month Chewy sent me the Purina pro plan nutrition that performs kitten favorites canned cat food, and the Stella & Chewy's carnivore crunch freeze dried treats.                                       The puppy loved these freeze dried chicken treats! They look like little beef jerky sticks and the dogs go crazy over them. I love how natural these treats are! I want to put as much good stuff into my animals as I possibly can and these treats make it easy! I also love how many other natural options Chewy..com has. They have so many organic, raw, and natural products for any pets you may have.                                                     I have not met a cat that doesn't like canned food except my cat Gurdy!  She will only lick the gravy and leave the food behind. She devoured the purina pro plan kitten favorites canned cat food. Her favorite was the chicken and liver. Once again I love when the food I fe

Wonderbly sent me this book as well in exchange for my honest review. There is a reason I saved this one for last, it is my absolute favorite! The book starts out with Elliott (who the book is made for) not wanting to go to bed, and wanting to go to space with his hubble friend. So up they go into space, They come too close to a meteor that makes there nav (navigation system) go town.  They are lost in space and meet some interesting people, including an intergalactic zoo, how fun?! During the personalization stage you put in the childs address and they put a picture from google maps of the childs house... WHAT? How amazing is that! This tops all personalized books I have ever read! So every time our Elliott reads this book, not only is it a book about him, that looks like him, but it actually has a picture of his house in the book! Elliott finally returns home. I blacked out the address of our book for safety purposes, but under the black lines are Elliotts h

I received another personalized books from Wonderbly to review, This book is The Birthday Thief. I had this one personalized for my nephew Bentley. One thing I haven't mentioned in past reviews, is that each and every book has a dedication page where you can write a personalized message. They have a beautifully written one already but I added a few things. The book starts with Bentley excited for his birthday party but a thief has stolen everything.  He goes looking for the thief and runs into people who help him. The pages are so beautiful and very well made. They pull the little ones in and makes them want to keep reading! At the end of the story, Bentley has his party. I love how you can put the childs birthday in the book and he spends the entire book looking for it. Once again, Little ones LOVE these books. Wonderbly does a great job with all their stories, I highly recommend all of them!

Susan Brown's Baby was very kind and sent me a few things to review in exchange for my honest review. I received their foaming shampoo and body wash, lotion to powder, nourishing lotion, diaper therapy cream, and botanical gelee.                    Susan Brown's Baby Naturals are an all natural baby care line. I'm a lot of you can agree that the more natural and chemical free things we can put on our little ones the better! Her line is tear free, PH balanced, paraben free, phthalate free, and hypoallergenic. Baby's are so sensitive so it's very important to use the most gentle things you can. As much as I love scented things, unscented is your best bet for babies. Susan Brown's Baby Naturals does a great job at making these chemical free, natural products that also smell great without being overpowering and causing a reaction. I highly recommend Susan Brown's Baby for anyone with little ones, they also make for great baby shower gifts!

The name of this book is The Little Boy who lost his name. The story starts out with the kid ( we did one for Elliott) waking up and realizing his name was off of his bedroom door, and not remembering what his name was. He looked under his bed and noticed a rainbow trail so he went on it, and that's where the adventure begins, Elliott ran into lots of creatures all of which start with letters from his name. He meets an Elephant, Lion, Lobster, Imp, Ostrich, Troll, and lastly a Tarantula. After his journey on the path, and meeting all the creatures, he headed back to the trail which lead him back home to his bed. He loved all the wondrous things he had seen and now knows his name. Once again, Wonderbly did an amazing job with this book! It allows you to personalize it with names, and what the character looks like. Little ones LOVE these personalized books! I am a big fan of books, and trying to encourage little ones to read and enjoy reading from a you

It's that time again for another chewy.com review. This month I was sent Greenies Breath Buster Bites in chicken and parsley flavor.                                         As you all know, I am a huge fan of Chewy.com. They offer so many great products for all different pets, with great prices! My favorite part is how quickly they ship things to you! No more trips to the grocery store because you're almost out of food or cat litter, simply jump online and order your things and they will be on your door step in 2 days. Greenies were a huge hit for the puppy in my life. He ate these up so fast I don't think he even tasted them. They do help with the breath of the puppy but it doesn't take the stink completely away.

I was sent 2 of the book Kingdom of You, one personalized for Elliott, and one for Charlotte. This book is one of my new favorites! It starts off with Elliott and Charlotte being sick of people telling them what to do. They don't even think their rooms are messy! Next a laundry genie appears and grants them 3 wishes. The first wish for each kid is to become a King/Queen so no one can tell them what to do. Next they each wish for something different, Charlotte asks for a playground for princesses and Elliott asks for his kingdom to be full of dinosaurs. Their 3rd wish was for a monster size ice cream which turns out to be a real monster!  Now the really awesome thing about Wonderbly is how personalized you can make them! You can pick to fill their kingdom with vehicles, dinosaurs, princesses, etc and you can pick the monster to be fruit, pasta, pizza, fruit etc. You even get to pick the character to look like your little one, Blonde, Brunette, Black hair,

Dr. Fedorenko sent me their bug Stick to review. So basically, it is insect repellant in a solid form. it comes in a stick and you simply rub it on your skin every 2-3 hours to repel insects.                                             I was a bit nervous about using a stick insect repellant.. I've only used bug spray so I didn't know what to expect. This is even better than bug spray. THIS works better than any bug spray/insect repellant I have ever used. I live in Michigan and love to have bonfires, but hate mosquitos, this is the answer! I will definitely be purchasing this again and again.

Diono sent me 2 things to review. They sent me their cool shade and their travel pal. Travel Pal:                          Cool Shade:                                      The cool shade comes with 2 rolls that adheres by static cling and it rolls on smoothly seconds, they are removable and reusable. Having sun protection is very important for babies! They can't ask for sunglasses when the sun is hurting their eyes. I swear by cool shade. Being able to protect your babies eyes with such a simple product is amazing! I highly recommend this! As for the Travel pal, it has a large cargo area for sharing, zippered pockets and side pockets, insulated and waterproofed, easily tucks into the seat. This is perfect for families with multiple children! It allows them to have everything they could want/need in the car, right next to them. No more kiddos constantly asking for items, it will be right next to them, within reach. Making car rides more enjoyable for EVERYONE!

Learning Resources recently sent me their pretend and play doctors set in exchange for my honest review. Now LOTS of places have their own version of a doctors set for little ones to play with. What makes the Learning Resources one different is everything that is included in it.                                               The set includes: electronic cell phone eyeglasses name tag electronic stethoscope scalpel thermometer 3 bandages tweezers syringe blood pressure cuff scissors reflex hammer forceps bedpan ear scope dental mirror case The Learning Resources doctor set has so many more items than most others. It makes playing doctor seem much more real and gives little ones more things to pretend with! Everything is very well made, it isn't that super cheap plastic that you often find with kid toys.
