rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - Getting a new kiddie pool every year was always a big deal when I was young. I spent hours and hours in my hard plastic round pool and at the time it suited me just fine. Then, I started to grow out of those little kiddie pools and getting a real pool...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - I am not an electronics guru. That is the first thing I have to say. I am not, and will never be a fanatical expert on home audio equipment. I don’t have a huge home theater system, or monster stereo that will shake the plaster off the...

Wed, 5 Jul 2000 13:20:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - I must say that Disney's "The Sandlot" has had a major impact on my son recently. His whole life at the young age of three revolves around playing baseball. As the movie implies, baseball is life.

Now, I think this...

Not your average jump rope...

Thu, 29 Jun 2000 12:51:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - A water jump rope...I absolutely could not resist when I saw this on the shelf. Yes, my son is a little too small to really jump rope. But in the last two days, this toy has been more fun that I could have anticipated. For him, just jumping...

Just wait, I bet my son will ask for a raise...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - Okay, so at three, my son doesn't really get an allowance yet. But he has taken it upon himself to help himself to any money that may be lying around the house. As far as he is concerned, it's fair game. And once found, it goes directly into...

All I want is a vacuum that will last. Is that so wrong?

Mon, 19 Jun 2000 09:51:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - I have not been lucky with the vacuum cleaners in my life. In the last ten years, I have purchased three of them new, and received one as a hand me down.

Last year, when we had to go shopping, yet again, for a new vacuum, we decided this...

This phone has stamina!

Wed, 31 May 2000 15:22:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - We bought this phone because our other non-digital cordless phone was interfering with our baby monitor (Yes, I still use one during nap time even though my son is three). The clarity of this 900MHz cordless is superior to any other phone we’ve ever...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - My son, the collector of hand-me-down and garage sale toys, made another great “find” a few weeks ago during the great garage sale event that takes place yearly in Woodbury, Minnesota. Up bright and early and determined to find some great deals on...

This is a great toy, even if my son doesn't think so...

Mon, 15 May 2000 13:21:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - Every time my son and I go shopping at Wal-Mart or the local drugstore, my son immediately gravitates to the little shopping carts.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - When I was young, I wanted roller-skating to be an Olympic sport.

Thu, 4 May 2000 13:27:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - Shopping for a carseat can be a very daunting experience. Not everyone can afford to spend $150 dollars for a carseat, but does that mean that our kids are any less deserving of a safe, durable seat to keep them secure? Of course not!

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - We purchased a 96 Neon in November of '98. I loved the way the car handled and it was so cute.

Not as much fun as a big bedsheet and a few chairs...

Tue, 25 Apr 2000 15:19:30 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - I loved to “camp” as a kid. But camping for me always meant having the luxuries of home a few feet away. Yes, I was a living room camper. It’s too bad that there was not a toy like this one when I was young. Or so I initially thought.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - Quick! What has four legs, four arms, four wheels, two heads and a bag full of diapers and toys? Why a mommy or daddy carrying a child, a diaper bag, and a stroller down (or worse, up) three flights of stairs of course. Hasn't this been the scene for...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JeannaMarie - I love the Fisher Price Kid-Tough Tape Recorder, but my son, loves it even more! This toy was handed down to him after he just couldn't bare to part with it after a trip to his aunt's house. Now this tape recorder has become the quintessential travel...
