Funerica's Pretend Play Table and Sliceable Food Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.









I received Funerica's Pretend Play Table and  Slicable Food in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. The table comes with the table, legs, a fake knife, tongs, two plates, and "sliceable food" (velcro on each half). The table can fold into a suitcase/holding case for the food and accessories.

Food choices included tomatoes, lemons,  pears, oranges, eggplant, and bell pepper.

I got this toy for Kalen. He can sit down, play, and give me some peace and quiet for a few minutes. For those, who don't know, my kids are special needs Kalen is Autistic, ADHD, plus he has 6 other diagnoses. I love simple toys, which don't require much assembly or help from mama. I love independent play (so I can clean and cook in peace).

The legs were easy to install and remove when playtime was over. The table only lasted a few days. It was destroyed during one of my oldest's meltdowns but Kalen still enjoys slicing the veggies. I may get him another set once I get paid again since it is reasonably priced on Amazon.

Ramini Brands Seed Starter Trays Review (Tomoson)

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.



I received the Ramini Brands® Germination Tray - Bonus Tips on Planting Seeds - Seed Starter Pots - Plant Cuttings, in exchange for honest review from Tomoson. I received 3 trays.

I used the seed starter trays to start growing wild flowers, morning glories, and vegetables. Within a few days, my flowers have started sprouting. The product was easy to use. Just add soil, seeds, and water. I have not had any issues with using the product since receiving it. The trays have not cracked or had any damage either. The trays are also reusable after you transfer your plants into a bigger pot.

I chose to plant Morning Glories and Annual Cut Flowers, I got from Home Depot, last week. I also planted one tray with bell peppers and tomatoes. I got some veggie seeds for review a while back and held on to these. The flowers have started sprouting within a few days, while the veggies had no movement. 

I used the potting soil my mother had outside. I added the potting soil to the pots first, then a few seeds per pot, then more potting soil, and finally bottled water.

You can purchase a set of three, using the link above. The trays are reasonably priced and prime eligible.

Brieftons Tri-blade spiralizer Review (Tomoson)

This post contains Amazon Affiliate Links.





I received Brieftons Tri-Blade Spiralizer: Vegetable Spiral Slicer, Strongest-Heaviest, Best Veggie Pasta Spaghetti Maker for Low Carb/Paleo/Gluten-Free Meals.

The spiral slicer comes with 3 blades: flat, angel hair, and spaghetti. (Note: onions work best on flat). The blades are easy to change out. The spiralizer also has built in storage for the two blades, you are not using.

The machine was also easy to assemble. You have the crank, the base, and a blade.

Zucchini (Spaghetti) and Potatoes (Angel Hair)

Onions (Flat), Zucchini (Spaghetti) and Potatoes (Angel Hair)

Onions using the flat blade, cooking in oil

I used the spiralizer on zucchini, potatoes,  eggplant, and onions so far.


The machine was easy to use. You have to apply extra pressure for some veggies as you get closer to the end. Watch your hands as you go along though. I nicked my knuckles with an eggplant against the blade. Also be careful when removing food from the blades and washing the blades. The blades was easy to clean. Just run under water

I cooked the veggies in a pot with a little soy sauce, with chicken, eggplant, and rice.

Pan-fried chicken

Eggplant and green onions

Rice; Eggplant and Green Onions; Zucchini, Potatoes, and Onions

You can purchase the spiralizer on Amazon. The spiralizer is prime-eligible.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Copy Kids (Eat fruits and veggies) DVD Product Review (Tomoson)

photo taken from www.copy-kids.com
Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

About Copy Kids


I reviewed Copy Kids, in response to a campaign on Tomoson. Copy Kids is a DVD, which encourages kids to eat their fruits and vegetables.

Instead of providing a cartoon or a lecture format, the DVD presented kids trying out and playing with12 different fruits and veggies:


  1. Bell Pepper
  2. Carrots
  3. Raspberries
  4. Broccoli
  5. Bananas
  6. Strawberries
  7. Tomatoes
  8. Cucumber
  9. Oranges
  10. Avocado
  11. Apples
  12. Blueberries. 
Each fruit or veggie has their own chapter on the video. Each chapter is 6 to 8 minutes long. You can watch the kids reactions to trying out new foods. 


My Review:

I loved the video. I watched it with the kids. My oldest went back to watching tv shortly after. My two-year old was giggling at the babies. The video reminded me of when Kalen was starting new foods. We tried a different food every few days. Some he liked. Some he did not like. 

I also loved how the video focused on the kids and food. It has no narration. Just kids being kids, eating and playing with nutritious food. Messy faces, Stained Clothes, and all. The video was also funny. One of the funniest clips was Mattea eating an avocado. She was eating and smacking away. Such a cutie

Finally, the video includes extras. One of the extras is Dr. Jay Gordon discussing nutrition. The other extra is the video outtakes. 

The video is 19.95 on the Copy Kids website.
