Saranoni Blanket Review

I had to opportunity to review three products from Saranoni. These are my honest opinions, and no compensation is involve for my family and I.

We are just known as the Super Snuggler for Saranoni.

Now let me start with Saranoni and about it:
It's a company that sells luxury blankets for you and your family, and have been in busy since 2006. They sell blankets for everyone in your family and even a nice and big one for the whole family to share and be under while watching a movie. These blankets come in different colors, and textures, and of course different patterns. To find out more information here is the website: wwww.saranoni.com!!

Now on to my review, I got the opportunity to test out the swaddle, the mini and the receiving all in the color of the Royal Lush/Gray Lush, and even have the extra Large that I got for me of Leopard Lush/Leopard Lush.

Let's start off with the swaddle I comes in a perfect size and oh so soft. My son love to be swaddle but didn't last long to capture a picture, as after awhile he doesn't like his hands trap. This swaddle blanket is perfect since I'm a first time parent, and still learning what I need and don't need and this is for a sure must have. I love how it's the perfect size, and love how it's very soft. Swaddling is a lot more fun when you have a Saranoni blanket.  I would recommend this to everyone and anyone!!

OMG love the mini my husband and I can play with our son with it, my son can carry it around with him, put it in the car seat, without being so heavy and overpowering your child. What I love is that it can be his favorite blanket and when he gets older, and he can continue to carry it without it touching the floor. Mini is a must in your household and again it just so soft, even my son loves it.

Third the receiving blanket love how it grows with your child and than once your child is to small for it, you can upgrade and go to toddler to teen blanket. Again the receiving blanket is not heavy and overpowering for your child. It's also the perfect size to take with you to keep your child warm during the winters, and of couse in the AC during the summers. As well as it fits in the crib just right as it's not to big, and you can match the colors to your baby room as they offer many colors. Receiving is a perfect one for your child, and again it's very soft. My son loves to play with his!!

Last but not least my extra large blanket, my family and I love blankets and love to cuddle and love that my extra large blanket covers us all up from head to toe. I sometimes don't like to share, but than I do because love having my family under one blanket enjoying a nice movie and eating popcorn. You know we have leather sofas and this is my favorite blanket during the winter, and you know why. Another secret is when my husband is sick he doesn't want any other blanket beside mines...lol.

Saranoni blankets is a must have for your family, and yourself. They offer many different colors, textures, and patterns and of course a fit for everyone. You are able to wash them without worrying about messing up your blanket. For your child you have the option to go stage to stage, and get the swaddle, mini, receiving and the toddler to teen stage and of course the extra large. As your child get older and moves out the house they can take their favorite blanket with them.

I as a mommy and a first time mommy at that my extra large blanket was my favorite thought out my pregnancy and even after. Mommies if you are need of a blanket to go with that book and the glass of wine, don't miss out on your extra blanket today!!

I totally recommend all their blankets for you and your family!!

Day 4: Planning our family picnic

I hope we will start having beautiful weather and this rain gives us a break for bit, because I'm actually ready to take my son outdoors and enjoy ourselves.

Happy National Picnic day!!

To bad it was raining today, but soon we will have our picnic, so stay tuned to see how it was, but in the meantime...

My plans is to go to the park by the zoo where you can do paddle boats, visit the zoo, take a train ride, have fun in the splash pad, and just have a photo shoot or roll down the hill that they have there.

I plan to make sandwich or do a chicken salad that I found on pinterest, make a fruit salad, and of course brownies. For our drinks waters and maybe some kool-aid and for me ice tea(love ice tea). After eating just relaxed on our blanket, and of course have a photo shoot with our camera, than walk around a bit with my son in the stroller. But I know the moment he walks we will make it a tradition for us to do a picnic and it will be a must, and way not start now which we will...hopefully!

Well things may not happen this way, but I know it will be fun and can't wait to talk about...till next time!

Bring on the sun, fun times at the park, bbq, more good food, swimming, beach, zoo, baseball games, parties, laughter, memories, and much more.

Something new

I have team up with the Sits girls as they will be giving out a writing prompt each day,  and I will answer as best as I can with my own feelings and opinions.

So with that being said today Day 1:  writing prompt is Something New....

Something new....ummm let's see I will say since having my first child and becoming a mommy 9 months ago I'm a new person! The reason why I say this is because I would so care and worry about if people like me, and what they think about me, and I would sit and cry because that person didn't like me. You see I was a sensitive one and everything from little to big will get me and make me cry and I would care what others think of me.

Since I meet my husband,  my husband would try for the longest to change me, but who knew it would be my son who would change me. It's been a roller-coaster for me as I suffer from a miscarriage, and being told I may not get pregnant without help, finally I got pregnant with no help and during labor we almost lost him and my life became at risk....

So with that being said all of this was an eye opener for me, and I have always known that life is to short but I now truly understand that and each passing day I live life to the fullest, make memories with my husband and son, and for them.

Drama is not for me, and I could careless what people think of me, and if they don't like me go right ahead and get in line with the rest of the people that feel the same about me!

My life is just to precious to me and I'm love by many and care by many and they love me the way I am. As well got a wonderful back bone my husband who loves me for me and one awesome son!

I thank my husband for not leaving my side and for always telling me not to worry about what others think of me, and I thank my son for changing me and for making me who I am today!

Those boys are my blessings and in the words of my husband, it's about time!!

Comicpalooza 2015

Comicpalooza was held at the GRB( George R. Brown Convention Center) this pass weekend Friday, May 22 to the Monday, May 25, a 4 day comic con!

This is where you would had found my family and I at this pass weekend. With it being our first experience, first comic con ever and not knowing what to expected, but we were ready and got even more excited as they share a story about comic con on our local news station. We parked, got our tickets(which are pretty cool tickets for the 4 day pass), and walked in to the convention center and let me tell you we didn't know or think so many people would be there and boy were we wrong. For those of you don't know GRB is a very big place and this is where comic con took place, and it took up every space possible! 



Once we got there I went to report to a room and met other bloggers, grab my blogger sticker and shirt, and we were off to enjoy the comic con. Pictures taken from the room, and what a pretty awesome view 






On the first floor there was vendors after vendors selling different things from handmade or not, artists selling their work of art, toys from the old to the new and and of course for a small fee you could meet and greet actress, actors, writers, artists, and wrestlers, and have your picture taken with them. There was a bar for adult drinks, and vendors selling food and cold drinks along with a big sitting area to give your feet a break. At comic con you come as is or come dress up as your favorite superhero, cartoon character, favorite star, and so much more just within the rules or just do with my 8.5 month old son and husband did, which was wear their favorite superhero shirt ...BATMAN and we thought it was a great idea to us as again it was our first time but many people at that same great idea(HEHEHEHE). You know they even had a kid section with a moonwalk, Nasa was giving away goodies, as well as one vendor was giveaway a comic book or stop by and sing let it go with Elsa and Ana, and if that was not your thing catch a lesson of martial arts while there. There was so much to see and do that we didn't get meet anyone because we just didn't want to miss a thing even my 8.5 month old only took a cat nap because he was just so excited to be there. Here are pictures of the first floor and the guest dress up, some vendors including an artwork of a lego batman we bought for our son's room. Check them out:




Oliver Banks booth 1832
He did this awesome lego batman and amazing prices as well. We got his information and
hopefully will be buying more from him.




Children's Museum Booth- I was signing up to hopefully win
a free membership...we shall see! 











Off to the second floor where they had roller derby going on, a robot fight including a robot dog in the mix of it all on one end, and other end they offer old school arcade games and pinball to played and of course more food and drinks and sitting space to take a break.










Even offer Cosplay as well, which we saw many people excited and pump about it, we didn't get to catch it this year but fingers cross for next year. 

Now moving up to the third floor where there was classroom that offer different things, and there was some on the second floor too. Just in case if needed there was a first aid room on the third floor. We looked into some rooms there were Q & A going on, and a game console room for kids, and my son was to young for this room but they had a Lego room. 

Like I said before GRB convention center is big and comic con took up every space possible, and since the place is so big and packed but it didn't feel overcrowded, plus side about being big!



As far as for our experience it was an adventure that's for sure! It may had been our first, but hoping it won't be our last. We didn't get dress up beside wearing our favorite superhero shirt but it was cool and neat seeing everyone else did and being able to take pictures of them or with them.
Comic Con is for everyone not just for fans of sci-fi, fantasy, comics, or superheros, etc. If you do decide to go make it a whole day or just make it fun and do all four days. My advice to you, is to plan ahead and make time to get there as there is traffic and long lines to get it and it does go by fast. Of course you can grab something to drink and eat while there or just leave and come back, but remember you have to pay for parking again. Glad my husband and I took pictures while we were there, and internet connection was good as I needed a twitter break...as you can tell



So keep an look out and come in join the fun of comic con 2016, because you know the saying it's always bigger and better than the year before!!!!

See you guys at Comic Con 2016!!!
