Received My Mombo™!

This post brought to you by Comfort and Harmony. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you are a first time mom and breastfeeding, a good nursing pillow is important.  I've tried many nursing pillows in my day and was excited when I saw the Mombo.  The Mombo seems like a combination of the Boppy and My Breast Friend.  The best of both worlds I would say.  The Mombo is firm on one side like the My Breast Friend and Curved without a strap like the Boppy.  I have to say that I really like the design.

The Mombo™ is dual purpose.  It serves as a cushion for breastfeeding but also a cushion to lay your little one on.    The cover was cute and soft.  Since my daughter is almost sitting up I like using the Mombo to support her back just in case she tips over.  The firmness and height of the Mombo™ was especially helpful for this.  The Mombo also comes with a vibrating insert to calm the baby.  I did not use this on my little one as she is a bit too old for the feature.  I would think this would be nice when the babies are young.

Braided Four Strand Bracelet

I saw this tutorial for a beaded necklace and new I needed to try it.  The instructions were easy to follow and it made a great bracelet.  I added a gold chain and experimented with both a three strand braid and a four strand braid.  I liked both but the four strand braid was a bit harder to work with.  I liked adding the gold chain because it gave it a nice touch.

For full instructions see the tutorial.  If you would like to learn how to braid a four strand braid see video below.  I created the video as a part of another tutorial on weaving a paper ball.

Best Stovetop or BBQ Grill Grate Cleaner Ever!

The internet has tons of tips on how to do things.  I always like to finds the best ways or products to help me with cleaning.  I found this link on pinterest on how to clean my stove top grates that works so well.  Its pretty simple and required minimal scrubbing.  All you do is soak your grates in ammonia. I soaked mine in a pot and put saranwrap over the top of the pot so the fumes do not escape.  You do not need to soak the entire grate in ammonia (the fumes will work on the burnt on mess), unless your grates are super dirty.

My stove top grates before.

Cheap amonia

Put the dirtiest grate on the bottom (grates in the ammonia will be cleaner than the ones that use use the fumes).

Add ammonia (you can fill it up so it just touches one grate or you can fill it all the way).  Put saran wrap over pot and I set the pot outside on a sunny day so that the heat helps with the ammonia (plus I didn't want the fumes in my house).  Wait a few hours, open the pot outside (wear a mask and be careful of the fumes!).  Take the grates and wipe off grime.  Should wipe off pretty easy.  Dispose of the ammonia.

Seriously the best grate cleaner ever!  Looks brand new.
