Lullaby BLUR show

Sun, 23 Jul 2000 23:25:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We received this Lullaby Light Show when we were expecting our second child. Since he is now almost a year old I find that I have had enough experience with this to give it a thorough review. I had very high expectations for this that, sadly, were let...

Kids ARE Worth It!

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 00:57:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - Barbara Coloroso could be my twin. She looks nothing like me so I am not speaking of looking alike here. She is my intellectual twin. I picked up her book " Kids are Worth It" for free using an Amazon.com gift certificate. I read the entire...

Now if only it would STAY PUT!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We picked up the Fisher Price Activity Table for our 11 month old son when he was about 9 1/2 months old and had learned to stand up on his own. We received ours for free through an incentive program but I have priced them at the local toy stores from...

A Definite Must Have For Mothers of Boys

Wed, 12 Jul 2000 12:46:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - This book came recommended to me highly from a friend, who like me, is a mother of boys. I decided to pick it up last week. I sure wish I had picked it up 4 years ago before my first son was born. Not only is it an eye-opener into the world of boys but...

MOOOOOOOO!! Mommy look at me!!!

Sun, 9 Jul 2000 12:48:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We received our Little Tikes Soft Rocking Cow for free from a rewards program but if I had to pay for it I certainly would have. Both of my children have absolutely adored it and after almost 4 consecutive years of use ( and abuse!) it still looks...

Cheap? Who me? YES ME!

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 17:01:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - I finally got my paws on the Complete Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn 6 months ago. Before that I had owned the Best of and the Tightwad Gazette II for about a year. Since there is no category here for the Complete Tightwad Gazette I chose to do my...

Definately NOT a miracle worker

Sat, 3 Jun 2000 12:03:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - Pregnancy and stretch marks. The two seem to go together for most women ( unless you are my older sister *sigh*). Nobody wants stretch marks. They are ugly, take forever to fade if you DO get them, and can make your entire stomach( and thighs) look like...

Please read this book

Wed, 10 May 2000 01:59:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - I know, "Please read this book", what a title. If I said that to some stranger walking by on the street they would probably look at me like I was some insane lunatic. But, the fact is, reading this book could possibly save your life.

Graco Stroll-a-Bed: Stroll a bed...not for tall babies

Fri, 7 Apr 2000 18:28:02 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We just went out and purchased a full size stroller after spending 3 years courting this Stroll-A-Bed. Why? Because it simply is not roomy enough if you have tall or larger babies to lie down in. My 2nd son is now 8 months old and if he got tired and I...

Good, but needs some work

Tue, 28 Mar 2000 20:49:35 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - When I first purchased this sling about a year ago the first thought that went through my head was this is very thin for a carrier. I was hesitant to try it because of that but I found myself pleasantly surprised at it's strength for being so thin.

Let's Sing!

Sat, 25 Mar 2000 13:47:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - When purchasing toys for young infants I think it is important to find things that not only keep their attention, but have the ability to grow with them over time. My 8 month old son just recieved this singing book last month as a gift and I believe he...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - I have now been using Priceline.com for groceries since they day it came to my area- approximately 2 months ago. I am hooked on the service, use it every week, and save a lot of money. There are some small details I wish could be worked out but otherwise...

NetZero: Could be better, could be worse

Thu, 23 Mar 2000 11:20:05 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We decided to drop AOL and go with free internet servers last year to save $20.00 a month. So, I armed myself with 5 free ISP's and went about finding out which one works the best and which one was the worst.

Netzero is my 2nd top choice. I've...

No Mistaking the Results!

Wed, 22 Mar 2000 12:48:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - I have two children and with each I took home pregnancy tests. This is the only test I trusted

Mon, 20 Mar 2000 17:15:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We purchased the Fantom Thunder after spending 3 years cursing our Kenmore uprigh which never cleaned our carpets the way you would expect a half decent vacuum to do so.

Now I have spent ten wonderful months with my Fantom and decided to write...

Cute and Fun

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 11:57:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - This toy was a huge hit with both of our boys from the time they were about 6 months on. As soon as they could sit up on their own they really enjoyed this.

To begin with, it's not very big, so it fits nicely in a small child's lap. It's made...

Extremely Safe and Snug

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 11:22:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We purchased this car seat when we were expecting our second son. A few things swayed us in the direction of the Century Smart Move.

#1. It's rear facing up to 30 pounds

When you have large children ( both of mine were over 10 lbs...

Sturdy and Eye Catching

Fri, 17 Mar 2000 11:59:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - This is the second infant gym activity center we have owned. The first one by another company was flimsy and pretty uninteresting. So, when on the market for another play gym we decided to look for good quality and one that was simple for baby to...

Ended teething nightmare here!

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 12:47:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - Teething can be a nightmare if you have a child who is having a tough time. Some children ( like my first son) go through teething without blinking an eye. Others ( like my second son) are in agony for weeks, months trying to break those teeth...

Huggies worked for us

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 12:27:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - Disposable diaper opinions are often hard to write because which diaper works for you usually depends on the shape of your child. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. I have 2 kids and I have seen this ring true over and over.

Best pump I ever tried

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 11:59:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - In order for me to really express how I feel about the Avent Isis breast pump I feel I feel I really need to explain how I came to use it.

I had used this pump a little bit with my first child. I probably used it 10 times total and thought it...

Horrible Parenting Advice

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 18:47:14 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - I know there are some people out there who actually like this book and think the Ezzo's are great. I can tell you right now you will NOT like this opinion.

This book made me literally sick to my stomach. I read it only after hearing a friend...

Stylish and Affordable

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - W

This monitor is sleek, stylish, and extremely simple to use. It has great range. We live in a 4 floor house and this monitor comes in loud and clear in the basement when the unit is all the way upstairs. We have also tested this outside and...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We purchased this Fisher Price camcorder for our 3year old son as a Christmas present. From the packaging it looked interesting and neat but it was not until we opened it that we found out how intriguing it really is.

I will begin with...

Great Outdoor Entertainment

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 11:28:15 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BRmom - We purchased this toy when our eldest son was 18 months old. We figured it would keep him entertained during the summer while he spent a lot of time with his father working in the yard. If this only really did mow we wouldn't have had any grass. Our son...
