If you can't make your own- use Earth's Best

Thu, 7 Sep 2000 13:17:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - If you have read any of my other Earth's Best baby food reviews, you have learned one thing about me- I am not an "earthy" type who buys organic because of any intrinsic health benefit to my baby. This is important to know, because my...

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 11:55:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - Lick a snozzberry, it tastes like a snozzberry (or it would if there were such a thing!)...I'm a Willy Wonka fan, and this scene tells exactly how I feel about Earth's Best baby food- it tastes and smells exactly like the food listed on the label...

Earth's Best- It's all about TASTE!

Tue, 5 Sep 2000 13:33:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - Let me paint a picture for you- for our family, organic is nothing but a synonym for expensive! I don't really get into the whole organic, granola-type, earth-mother type thing. I always walked by Earth's Best baby foods with an...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - ***WARNING THIS TOY IS ADDICTIVE FOR ADULTS TOO!***

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - My husband, son, daughter, and myself are planning to go on a two year mission trip to France. There is one small problem- of the four of us, only one (myself) speaks any French. So, I went on a quest to find some French educational software. I chose...

Wed, 16 Aug 2000 12:33:59 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - "Get paid JUST for having a start page!" is the claim made by Ignifuge.com. I have used the service since March, and have yet to see a payment or have any sort of meaningful contact with their "customer NO-service".

Thu, 27 Jul 2000 23:02:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - I still have a hard time describing this show which is a cult hit in Japan, the United States, and our house! My five year old son loves to watch it, can name all the Iron Chefs, and wants to be an Iron Chef (and make Clam Chowder and “Super Mom...

Hot Wheels- I hardly know ye' any more!

Mon, 3 Jul 2000 13:39:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - This was the first in a long line of Hot Wheels products I have bought for my son. I bought it because, to be honest, it looked like something I'd want to play with. At this age (almost 6), my son wants me to play with him most of the...

Beware of Carnation Formula Marketing ploys

Sun, 18 Jun 2000 14:23:43 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - I have no problem with the products offered by Nestle's infant division. Carnation Good Start and Carnation Follow-Up powder formulas are not bad products. I bought the Good Start first, because of the claims of cost effectiveness. The...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - Before I got pregnant with my second child, I was working very hard to lose weight. I had tried the Slim Fast shakes, and they were not very appetizing. I saw the Nestle Sweet Success Weight Loss Shake in the grocery store and thought to...

THIS is diet food?

Wed, 14 Jun 2000 12:03:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - I have never been one to jump on diet band wagons (although I need to!). When I bought my first Slim Fast Meal-On-The-Go-Bar it was for convenience. I had tried meal replacement bars before, and liked the convenience they offer. With 2 small...

Fri, 9 Jun 2000 13:34:20 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - As a mom, I look for the best for my baby. I am by no means an "organic" mother- I use disposable diapers, jarred baby food, and formula. But when it came to choosing baby food for my daughter, I wanted to make sure she was not getting any...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - POWERPUFF SAVE THE DAY! My son (yes, son) loves the Powerpuff Girls, and so do I. So when I saw these dolls in Wal-Mart, I had to get them (I used my daughter as my "cover"- I really have wanted these dolls since the show started!)...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - When I was a kid the Atlanta Zoo was considered nationwide to be one of the most disgusting zoos in the country.

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 15:27:44 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - My son has a passion for Hot Wheels I can completely relate to him, because I had the same passion as a child. I hope his cars don’t end up in the same place mine are, though- buried in the sand at my parent’s home! In hopes that wouldn't...

Thu, 30 Mar 2000 17:05:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - Before my son was born almost 6 years ago, we received a basic bouncy seat as a shower gift. He loved it- we used it all the time for several different purposes. When he first started solid food, that was the chair we used for feeding. When I worked...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - My son loves 2 things- playing with dad and playing with water. There was no better way to combine the two activities than by buying water t-ball. We had a regular t-ball set, but this one had that something extra (water). When we buy toys for our...

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 20:56:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author FSUTrill - I love Winnie the Pooh- there I've said it. This adorable little bear has been a children's classic for generations (okay, 2 or 3 generations). So when my son was born in 1994, I bought him Baby's First Pooh in hopes that would become his...
