rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - My son received the VTech Alphabet Apple for his 2 birthday. He was a bit young for it's teaching qualities then, but loved to bang away at the buttons, and to hear everything that it "said" and the songs.

Waste of brain matter.

Thu, 1 Nov 2001 16:40:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - I'm not sure what made my husband to rent this movie in the first place. But we always try to give a movie half a chance.

After the first 3 minutes, I knew that this movie was a waste of the $3-some dollars it took to rent it. I had to send...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - We scored an A+ when we bought the Mighty Loader for my 4 year old son!

Thu, 24 May 2001 17:50:57 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - I was given the so-called Ultimate 6-in-1 carrier as a sort of hand-me-down. I didn't receive the video that comes along with it, but got a crash-course on how to get it together and working.

Wanting to try it out, (my baby isn't due until...

Fun for the whole family

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - I received the Playskool Kick Start Gym as a gift. It's already been battered by one child, and is still in really great shape, so it's very durable!

Our new baby isn't due until July 2001, but my two older children LOVE playing with it!...

Light to medium leaks?

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 16:33:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - Gerber has made a good solution for lactating women who only leak a small to medium amount. Anything over medium makes for a big mess.

Personaly, with only minimal leakage at first, I love the Gerber nursing pads. They work great.

B-flat potty

Sat, 3 Feb 2001 18:10:32 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - There's nothing to picking the right potty chair for your budding "big kid" is there? Well, that's what I thought.

I set out to get my son a potty chair. I didn't want anything fancy, and needed to stay within our limited budget. I found...

Pure fun...for the KIDS.

Wed, 6 Dec 2000 14:01:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - My children got this ball pit for their birthday party. Of course, as soon as they saw what it was on the box, they wanted us to put it up. So, we did. It took 6 people to blow it up with a bicycle pump. After a half and hour of trying to keep...

"Play With Me"

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 16:00:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - I remember this book from when I was little. Like my oldest, I had a little sister, too. I guess it takes most "oldest children" a bit to warm-up to their littler siblings.

I think this book helps.

Little Critter is...

The bogus movie

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - I rented Pauly Shore's "The Bogus Witch Project", thinking that it would be a good Friday night rental, that it would be funny-like the rest of his movies. BOY, was I wrong!

First, I have to admit that I didn't watch the whole...

Edge of my seat!

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 14:59:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - At first I wasn't too excited about watching yet another WWII movie. Sure, this one was "in the water", instead of on land, but wouldn't it be just like the others? NOPE! I was so wrong!

Right from the first 5 minutes, the action...

Love it!

Wed, 15 Nov 2000 17:46:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - Even though I don't know much about WHO sings what, and all of that stuff. I know what I like.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - Our old phone just stopped working one day. What were we to do? No way could we go a single day without a cordless phone-even though we DID have a corded one that STILL works fine. Nope, we have to have our power to roam. So, we set out with UPGRADE...

Saved our backs!

Sun, 12 Nov 2000 20:35:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author KaraPhillips - Well, we rented a 19 foot truck for our local move. We had to make two trips, though. I would've thought it would be big enough for a 3 bedroom house. But, either it just wasn't big enough or we haven't a clue on how to pack trucks. Even though the...
