elo™ My Storytime Pillow

This is an awesome gift  to help soothe your child so they can rest better at night!
Reviewz & Newz is happy to promote this wonderful giveaway! 


Welcome to the elo My Storytime Pillow giveaway, hosted by Housewife on a Mission, and sponsored by elo!

elo™ is the doctor-endorsed bedtime system that plays children’s stories and soothing sounds as your child lies down for bed. With elo™, kids ask, “Can I go to bed now”?

What is elo?
elo™ was conceived by parents to help alleviate some of the common bedtime struggles. The child lays down on their elo™ pillow, and elo™ begins playing that night’s audio files of children’s stories and soothing sounds. The child is encouraged to lay still, listen quietly, and settle in for sleep. If the head is lifted, the audio pauses, and they are gently reminded to “Lay your head down to hear the rest of the story.” Children learn to remain restful, listen in, and eventually drift off to sleep (adapted from elopillow.com).


Your elo™ pillow:
  • Is preloaded with your first SleepList™, containing several children’s stories followed by soothing sounds to help your child drift off to sleep.
  • Comes in a standard child size, specifically designed for your child’s head.
  • Connects to the elo™ Store, where you’ll have access to browse downloadable SleepLists™ featuring classic stories like Clifford, the Berenstain Bears, and Curious George!

Bake Me A Wish Gourmet Brownies

We have had giveaways for hams, steaks and much more.  here is something to appeal to your sweet tooth!  GOURMET BROWNIES!!!

The holidays are usually the sweetest time of the year. That is especially true if you give or receive a fabulous gourmet food gift from Bake Me A Wish. I recently had the pleasure or destroying my diet on an incredible One Dozen Gourmet Brownies Assortment.


I always feel guilty when I break my diet. Afterwards I always feel like it wasn't worth it. With these it really was worth it. They are so delicious. Well actually. I cannot speak to how the brownies taste. I am more of a blondie fan, and my husband addicted to brownies, so he ate all of them.

This assortment has 2 each of 4 amazing brownies and 2 fabulous blondies, so it was perfect for us. The flavors are:


As I already mentioned, the blondies were divine. The Orange Macadamia Coconut was the best blondie I ever tasted, and I have tasted a lot.


As fantastic as both blondie flavors were, I am actually glad there was only 4 in this assortment. Had there been 12, hubby would not have gotten any and none of my clothes would fit, and I still would have no regrets.

My husband loved the brownies though, so I am glad I did not have to deprive him. He is a chocolate lover to the highest extreme, and these were able to satisfy his chocolate sweet tooth. His favorites were the Velvet Ganache and Cheesecake ones, but he had all 8 brownies gone within 2 days.

I don't usually get him food gifts, because he always just gets the food he wants anyway, and I figured a food gift would not be anything special, but after seeing him obsess over these brownies, I know that I will be getting him some goodies from bake Me A Wish this year. I definitely need to get him a larger assortment though so maybe it will last 3 days this time.

If you want to give a sweet gift this year, a Bake Me A Wish gift is sure to please anyone on your list. Can you think of an adult who would not like a special gourmet treat? Are you shopping for a kids that already has way too many toys? This would be a dram come true to almost any child.

As a special gift to all of you, Bake Me A Wish has generously offered to give away one of these fantastic Gourmet Brownie Assortments. Enter below for your chance to be the lucky winner. And enter the other Christmas Wishes giveaways HERE, to win other fabulous prizes.

Ingredients
1 (16.5-ounce) Box Duncan Hines Butter Golden Cake Mix
2/3 cup Cream Cheese Frosting
1 bag Vanilla Candy Melts or Wafers
2 (14-ounce) bags Red Candy Melts or Wafers
1 (14-ounce) bag Yellow Candy Melts or Wafers
Vegetable Oil
Lollipop Sticks
Treat bags
Ribbon
Large piece of Styrofoam
Foil
Directions
Lay out a couple of ungreased pans, set aside. Cover a large piece of Styrofoam with foil, set aside. Prepare and bake cake according to package directions. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Break apart cake and place in a large bowl, then crumble completely. Stir in frosting, then blend together with hands until you have the texture of play-doh. Melt a small amount of vanilla candy wafers in a small bowl, set aside. With hands, mold cake into the shapes of a leaf. Dip tip of lollipop stick into melted candy, then insert a little ways into the leaf. Lay flat on pan. Repeat until all dough is used. *You will need to melt your vanilla candy wafers every so often to continue use. Place in fridge for 1 hour. Add water to the bottom of a double boiler, then add 1 bag of red candy wafers to the top and turn to medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to thin the wafers and add more if the candy seems too thick. In a small bowl, add ¼ cup yellow candy wafers along with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil. Heat in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Once the red wafers are completely melted, add the yellow and swirl with a knife to create lines. Remove 5 cake pops at a time from the fridge. Dip the cake pop in the melted candy. Use a spoon to drizzle the candy coating near the stick. Tap on the side of the pan to remove excess candy, then use finger to smooth out the back. Melt candy wafers as needed to continue use. Save leftover hardened candy in bowl, set aside. Let cake pops sit overnight to set. Reheat leftover hardened candy in bowl and use to seal any cracks in coating. Place back in styrofoam to harden. Place a treat bag over each cake pop and tie with ribbon
