She's been asleep since the day after Christmas!

Fri, 19 Jan 2001 21:15:36 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - This was the one hot ticket item my little girl wanted this year, to our dismay. We usually do not like to buy interactive toys, simply because we feel they do not allow enough room for a kid's own imagination.

But, what's a parent to do when...

Scooter Mania!

Tue, 22 Aug 2000 16:15:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - It's the latest craze and boy is it a big one! Every single kid on my block, including a five year old neighbor (go figure), has somehow managed to talk their parents into buying "the silver streak!"

Luckily, my five year old has not...

Bare bones, but can it ever blend!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - No, this model is definitely not for gadget freaks. It only has two speeds, high and low. It operates with a simple switch mechanism, pushed to the left is one speed, the middle is off and the other direction is the second speed. Truly nothing fancy,...

The "greatest" to open in Portland, OR this summer!

Thu, 8 Jun 2000 13:47:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - The Oregonian newspaper affectionately referred to these little gems as "Southern fried donuts" last week with the latest news that Krispy Kreme will open their first location in Portland later this summer.

When I moved from the...

Good, but could definitely stand some improvements!

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - The Jackson Zoo was the first zoo my kids experienced, so I have fond memories, as we were living in the area at the time they were born. We frequented the Jackson Zoo with my mom's group and with Dad on the weekends as we were members of Friends of the...

Definitely a Favorite with Kids (& Parents!)

Wed, 7 Jun 2000 19:17:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - The Oregon Zoo, in my opinion, is one of the finest zoos in the country. We just went yesterday morning with our three little kids, ages 1-5, and again commented on how wonderful this zoo really has become.

Whoever designed the Oregon Zoo and...

Incredible upright sleeper too!

Thu, 4 May 2000 19:39:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - My son slept in the Summer bouncy seat for almost two months, while he was experiencing a terrible upper respiratory infection shortly after birth. It was just the perfect thing to incline his head, and remained comfortable, while he was sleeping.

"End of my renting something before I read Epinions!"

Tue, 25 Apr 2000 18:07:07 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - Had I read most of the 385 count (as of this date) epinions out there about this movie, I would have skipped over it entirely. The only redeeming value I found to this flick was the extra features found on the DVD version, such as how the movie was...

"How do you get a drink around this place?"

Wed, 19 Apr 2000 19:01:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - We just spent three days at the beautiful, much acclaimed Venetian hotel and casino in Las Vegas. I must admit that this is one of the most beautiful hotels on the strip (if not "the" best looking.) The entire hotel is astonishing, only...

What the heck do you hook it to?

Tue, 28 Mar 2000 22:00:02 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - This safety net has been hooked up to our stairway railings for about three months now. And luckily, we have had no accidents as this stuff is just not safe in my opinion.

First of all, we had to "rig" it to accommodate our...

Best thing we got at our shower!

Fri, 24 Mar 2000 21:00:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - We got this at our first child's baby shower as a gift. I took one look at it and thought there was no way this was going to suffice as our method for taking our baby's temperature. The thermometer looked cheap and I feared because it didn't cost very...

iMac: "Brutally honest?" "It stinks!"

Sat, 18 Mar 2000 02:09:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - Yeah, sure, it's funny to see someone take out their gun and blow away the object of their frustration one bullet at a time. But, the only message that came across to me in this ad was "if you don't like something, it's ok to shoot it!"

Teaches Life Lessons!

Wed, 15 Mar 2000 19:32:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - My five-year-old daughter absolutely loves the Arthur show and religiously watches the clock for when it comes on next. Not only are the characters highly entertaining and life-like, but I truly believe they teach some of the best life lessons for...

Super for imaginative play!

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 21:49:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - My one year old got this as a gift for Christmas last year and it quickly became one of his favorite toys. I think this is an exceptional toy for the toddler set and it seems to keep my three year old's interest as well. The boys usually end up...

No trouble keeping up with this dog!

Mon, 13 Mar 2000 21:21:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - This was all my 3-1/2 year old son talked about for months before last Christmas. He saw the commercials on television and thought "what fun it would be to own a dog (albeit a pseudo one!") Since we are not super dog lovers and my son thought...

"Ouch, mommy, that hurts!"

Tue, 7 Mar 2000 16:02:48 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - I used to buy the Huggies wipes quite frequently, as they were almost always on sale, I never ran short of this manufacturer's coupons, and their reputation in the market was good. I had never had any real problems with these wipes until recently...

How many more of these do I have to see at garage sales!

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 21:14:20 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - I got so many of these for presents at my first born's baby shower(s), five years ago or so, that I thought "My God, these must be the best thing since sliced bread!" I could not wait to get home and try it out. It was the one addition to my...

Can you own enough of these!

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 20:43:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - My first and third born were both big on the sucking reflex. It's innate, was endorsed by our pediatrician and was the only way we got a peaceful night's sleep in our house. Believe me, we rushed out every time our stock was low on MAMs to purchase...

Great car and stroller toy!

Mon, 14 Feb 2000 21:21:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - I bought this toy for my six month old because I needed something that he could truly grasp and hold onto. My experience with my other two kids is that most toys for this age group are hard to grasp and I spent a lot of time bending over to pick them...

Great bottle, but beware it can leak!

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 20:55:30 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - I bought these bottles for my baby mainly because they are all the rage among moms these days. They do look slick and supposedly they reduce the amount of air a baby takes in through their patented valve system.

I say "thumbs up"...

Play-doh for "extremely" little hands!

Mon, 7 Feb 2000 20:12:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - I was just at the store this morning looking for "goodie bag" stuffers for my son's 1st birthday party. These 1 oz. party Play-doh cans remind me of donut holes. I envision that someone at the factory got a great idea for the ends of the...

"What is that noise? - Oh it's you, up against the wall!"

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 22:27:16 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - My daughter got this toy for her first Christmas. I must admit that it's highly cute and you think it's going to be one of those great toys that the kids will love and play with forever. Yet, in our experience, although sadly disappointed, it's been...

Best since leaving the south & it's kid friendly too!

Fri, 4 Feb 2000 16:40:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - This restaurant has quickly become a favorite in our family. We have three little kids, ages 1 - 5, and Buster's is always the place they ask to go for dinner (sorry McDonald's, but they have better kid's meals!)

Being somewhat of a barbecue...

Homegrocer Online Store: You Better Shop Around!

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 05:31:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - Yes, there is something so wonderful about sitting down at your computer and ordering your groceries on-line, especially if you have little kids or hate to go to the grocery store. It's nostalgic having the guy (or girl in our case) drive up in that...

Century Breverra Contour: Good all around car seat, several complaints

Fri, 28 Jan 2000 04:27:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author BeckLuther - We have owned four of these car seats (two are still in use by my 5 and 3 year olds, one was in an auto accident so we destroyed it per the manufacturer's instruction, and the other was sent back to the manufacturer due to a defect in the buckle...
