Enjoy the outdoors

Sun, 16 Mar 2003 20:21:58 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - Last summer we took my mother-in-laws RV and set out with our two older kids (ages 7 & 4) to Yellowstone National Park. We left our 18 month old with grandma. That was one of the smartest moves we could have made. Taking the RV was the best way to go...

Dawn Liquid Dish Detergent: Great Stain Remover

Sun, 16 Mar 2003 19:57:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - I've used Dawn dishwashing liquid for my dishes for years. It comes in a variety of sizes and scents. I'm partial to the original blue. You can buy it at the grocery store or discount stores (Wal-Mart, Target, etc.). It's comparable in cost to other...

Pump that pleases

Sun, 16 Mar 2003 00:51:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - A friend loaned me her Medela Pump In Style double breast pump when I had my third child.

Prior to that I used a hand pump, an old model Medela double pump and the Evenflo double electric pump.

The Medela Pump In Style is so easy...

A Review of Erin Brockovich

Tue, 14 Nov 2000 17:19:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - I finally had the opportunity to see "Erin Brockovich". I've been wanting to see it since it came out. This particular movie interested me because I work in a law office.

I thought it was a great movie but most of the profanity...

Jump in on the Fun

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 00:17:13 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - My son truly loved his JumpStart Toddler so my Aunt purchased the JumpStart Kindergarten software for his 5th birthday at the end of May. He has really enjoyed playing it and it keeps his attention for approximately a half hour, sometimes longer.

Wouldn't Be My Choice

Fri, 26 May 2000 17:02:33 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - Dominoes coined the phrase "30 minutes or less". Although it's caused them some legal problems so they no longer have their 30 minute guarantee.

I learned from a trivia question that the 3 dots on the dominoes stand for the three...

Getting More of My Business

Fri, 26 May 2000 16:07:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - Since I've had children, Dairy Queen has been getting more of my business. I'm not a huge ice cream lover but it's a fun treat for the kids. DQ has the advantage because it's close to our house and visible to the kids when we drive by.

If I'm...

My Favorite

Fri, 26 May 2000 15:56:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - I'm not a huge ice cream lover but when given the choice, it's Baskin Robbins.

If you've seen any advertisements for Baskin Robbins, you know they are the home of 32 flavors. Being the creature of habit that I am, I always get the chocolate...

Awesome Wisconsin Cheese Soup

Fri, 26 May 2000 15:38:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - Prior to moving to our current location, I worked less than a block from Bruegger's. I ate there all the time because it was so close and fast. I really miss Bruegger's.

Sometimes I'd start my day with their cinnamon raisin bagel. The honey...

Even My Dad Likes KFC

Fri, 26 May 2000 01:31:23 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - My dad is not a fast food lover but he will eat KFC. KFC is the only break my mom gets from cooking and it's not all that often. I must have gotten that greasy fried chicken gene from my dad.

They really won my dad's heart when they added...

Great Mozarella Sticks

Fri, 26 May 2000 01:21:25 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - Of all places, you wouldn't expect to get tasty mozarella sticks at a fast food fish joint. My kids love them as well. They started out at 6 for a dollar, now you get 3 for .99 or 6 for 1.49.

I think the best deal at Long John's is the...

If I can't have my cousin's pizza, I'll have Godfathers

Fri, 26 May 2000 01:09:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - If I'm not eating pizza at my cousin's pizzeria, I prefer Godfather's.

I am really bummed that they no longer carry green olives. My all time favorite pizza is thin crust, pepperoni and green olive.

Just recently we discovered...

Wouldn't Be My Choice

Thu, 25 May 2000 01:52:29 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - Pizza Hut is not my first choice but my DH likes it.

I've only dined in at our local Pizza Hut once and the service was horrible. It was over lunch. We wanted the lunch buffet. We were there before the crowd but from the looks of the...

Fast Food Alternative

Thu, 25 May 2000 01:36:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - Subway is a welcome change to all the burger joints.

We like to pick it up on the way to an afternoon in the park.

I must admit, I have my favorites and usually always get one of those. They are BMT, Spicy Italian or Crab. My...

One Star for Big Star

Wed, 24 May 2000 18:20:31 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - Okay, so I ask, what's with this "Big Star" promotion all of a sudden? Where did it come from? I'd say Hardee's was better known for their drab brown and orange signs.

The only thing I've found worth eating at Hardee's are the...

They Golden Arches are Losing Their Shine

Wed, 24 May 2000 13:43:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - McDonald's has always been my favorite but recently they are slipping.

I used to love the soft fries, now they are hard (and usually cold). Cold fries, as well as cold sandwiches are nasty. I have zero tolerance for this and take them back...

Dumb Dog

Wed, 24 May 2000 13:05:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - I was introduced to Taco Bell approximately 15 years ago. I was excited when we were going to get one in my current city. All the excitement was for nothing.

I loved their enchiritos and then they quit making them for a number of years. I...

The Preschool Bus is Here

Tue, 25 Apr 2000 01:35:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - When we were faced with buying a bigger vehicle suitable for transporting more people, my husband wouldn't consider anything other than an Expedition. He's wanted one since they came out in 1997. His wish finally came true. In late February, 2000, we...

I LOVE LEATHER

Mon, 17 Apr 2000 00:25:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - While on our European trip, we stopped in Florence (Firenza). We only had five hours to shop and sight see. It was probably a good thing I didn't have more time because I spent a lot of money in that amount of time. I hate to think of how much I would...

Our preschoolers first theater experience

Thu, 24 Feb 2000 02:45:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - When my son saw the previews for Tarzan last spring, he kept telling me he wanted to see it. I thought it looked cute enough. He'd never been to the theater before so we decided this would be his first experience. We made a big deal out of it, we got...

John Deere: It's gotta be green

Thu, 17 Feb 2000 20:54:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - In our subdivision, the neighbors don't care what kind of car you drive. The real test is what kind of mower comes out of your garage. If it's green, you're in. It's gotta be a guy thing.

We were faced with our first John Deere purchase...

EchoStar 2700 Digital Satellite System: Great--once we got it working

Thu, 17 Feb 2000 20:32:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - We bought a satellite dish because we live outside the city limits and our subdivision does not get cable. Our reception was so bad, we couldn't even get network channels.

Our experience with using the dish has been great. We had some...

Only way to go

Thu, 17 Feb 2000 20:11:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - I am full blooded Italian and was brought up making homemade noodles and Italian cookies. All of my relatives have this pasta maker. Now that we are all out on our own, my mom thought we all needed our own. I guess she wanted the pasta/cooking making...

I'm glad I wasn't known as "the Beaver"

Wed, 9 Feb 2000 16:55:10 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - I grew up watching "Leave it to Beaver". I love this show.

As a parent, I can't believe Jerry Mathers didn't get made fun of for being "the Beaver", afterall kids can be so mean. I had a terrible time picking names for...

Steel, Danielle: Another one for the ladies

Wed, 9 Feb 2000 16:19:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author CoachB - When I was taking American Literature in college, my professor always bashed Danielle Steele's books. I had never heard of her before then. His continual bad mouthing of her books caused me to read some of her works.

I have read...
