Growing Smart Laptop Computer - Nice new learning toy

Sun, 3 Dec 2000 19:15:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - This is one of the new SMART chip technology toys that Fisher Price has put out this holiday season. We recently had some travelling to do, so I thought I'd try out one of these toys with my 2.5 year old to keep him occupied. After much testing at the...

Thu, 31 Aug 2000 23:22:06 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - Okay - heres the story:

Yesterday I am driving along and listening to all the car ads on the radio and it strikes me that tomorrow (today) is the last day of the month and this is the end of the model year, so it would be a REALLY great day to...

We love DUPLO and Western Town is no exception

Fri, 25 Aug 2000 00:15:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - We've been big Duplo fans in this house ever since my son got his first 50 piece tub from Nana for his first birthday. At the time, the pieces were little more than teethers for him, but within a few months, he could put the pieces together with a...

Barney Bongo - We could do without it

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 14:02:41 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - My son got the Barney Banjo last year for Christmas. He LOVED it so when I saw this banjo on sale at Amazon.com (half off - $12.99) a while ago, I decided to get it for him. I should have saved my money.

He is 2 and a half and just does not...

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 20:02:40 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - My son is almost 2 and a half and is a BIG snacker. I was SO excited when I first discovered these Enfagrow products at the grocery store a few months ago because they were HEALTHY!!! Now, my son will eat his share of fruits and cereal bars for snacks,...

After trying them all, we found this to be the best!!

Sat, 24 Jun 2000 21:05:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - When my son was born, he and I had a lot of difficulty with breastfeeding. They even sent me home from the hospital with a breastpump because they knew I'd be needing it. He could not settle down enough to latch on well and stay on. So, from the...

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 01:31:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - I just got this for my 2 year old for our recent airplane trip.

One of those "must haves"

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 17:51:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - When my son was born 2 years ago, a wonderful friend lent this to me. She had used it with her son and he had just learned to sit up and crawl and no longer used it. I was thrilled.

My son was what you call "high maintenance"...

Wed, 12 Apr 2000 18:18:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - I just downloaded this viewbar today and I have to say - it is my new favorite. I currently use All-Advantage, CashSurfers, GetPaid4, mValue and have used a few others, so I speak from experience.

The download was very easy - took about 8...

Mobshop: Great deals here!!!

Sun, 9 Apr 2000 19:19:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - I found MobShop.com (formerly known as Accompany.com) through PointClick.com, an internet site that pays you to click to sites in either cash or credit. As a former Mercata.com customer, their "group buying" concept appealed to me. The...

GREAT Multi-Age/Level Toy

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 18:42:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - I bought this toy a few months ago, but since my son has so many toys already, I just put it away for a "good" occasion. Well, this happened last week when he had been sick for over a week already and cooped up in the house. We were both...

Why I chose this one and best deals to get it

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 22:59:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - When I started the hunt for a new digital camera, I didn't know where to start. There are SOO many different kinds and prices out there that I was overwhelmed. I started with the Sunday ads and found a few that were on sale.

Then guess...

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 01:13:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - I am a HUGE internet bargain shopper. More.com fits on the top of every item on my "favorite shopping place" checklist. They have some great deals, free shipping, great customer service and fast shipping.

I started ordering from...

CDNOW.com: GREAT for DVD buying

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 18:03:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - When we were considering buying a DVD player last fall I was a little leery. We have a very big vhs video library and I was not looking forward to spending the $19.99-$29.99 per DVD in the store to get new movies. Then I found CDNow and my fears were...

My E Camp: My e-Joke

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 11:23:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - I joined this program about 2 months ago because I have several friends with under 18 kids and I thought I'd check it out to let them know if it was worthwhile. Well - I spent a few days playing their cheezy games to get minimal points and clicking...

NetGrocer.com: GREAT first experience!

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 15:05:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - A month or so ago, a friend of mine was extolling the wonders of online grocery shopping because she has a newborn and a toddler and trips to the grocery were much less than desirable. Granted, I only have a toddler to deal with, but my trips are not...

eBay: Selling Kids Clothes on eBay

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 17:58:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - Well - I've been an eBay addict for about a year and a half now and have been selling on eBay for over a year. I have sold a lot of different things, but have settled into selling kids clothes. I'm certainly not the first and foremost expert at selling...

I love A Baby Story

Tue, 11 Jan 2000 16:59:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - It works out perfect for me. I pick my son up at preschool M-Wed at 1:30. He falls asleep during the 15 minute ride home. I get him out of the car and in his crib. I go quickly check my e-mails and then..... ta-da, its 2:00!! Time for A Baby Story...

Just a Warning

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 23:59:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - I bought this truck for my son last summer because I thought since he was 18 months old, it was certainly time for his first truck. He wasn't real interested in it at first, but once he realized that he could hold onto the back and run with it, he...

My 2 year old Loves It

Sat, 8 Jan 2000 23:29:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - Since I was REALLY tired of My sons Teletubbies CD-Rom game, I decided to get a new one. He was 20 months old at the time, so I thought one of the toddler games would be nice. We decided on the Reader Rabbits Toddler game (the original version since it...

Yahoo Auctions: Will Never be eBay

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 23:09:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - Granted, there are lots of things that are nice about Yahoo auctions - free listings being the best of them. But, I would much rather spend the $.25-$1.00 per listing on eBay for the type of response I get. I sell kids clothes on eBay, namely Gymboree...

I Think Love it More than my Son Does

Sun, 2 Jan 2000 21:16:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - Okay - so maybe I shouldn't be admitting this since the show is certainly geared towards kids, but I think I watch this show more than my 2 year old does. I guess it does not hurt that these guys are easier to look at than, say, Mr. Rogers and that they...

Well.... I liked it!!

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 16:43:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - Phew - there sure are some people that REALLY did not like this movie. I never got a chance to see this movie over the summer, so I got the DVD for my husband for Christmas. I guess since I had heard a lot of bad things about the movie, I was not...

Shake Your Dragontail!!

Wed, 29 Dec 1999 10:31:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - This past September when the new programs were coming out on PBS, I saw an ad for this new program called DragonTales. It looked like just another cutsie cartoon. "Great", I thought, "this won't keep my 19 month old entertained"...

My Favorite Airline

Tue, 28 Dec 1999 20:45:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Allison024 - Back in Summer of 1998 I heard some GREAT news - Midwest Express was offering a direct flight from where I live to where my parents live (the only airline in my area to do so). As a mother of a newborn, I was delighted to learn of this new direct...
