“BEST” Western ??

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 21:25:35 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - My son and I travel several times a year for youth activities so when staying in a hotel for 2-3 nights, often not very far from home, we are usually looking for a balance between comfort, convenience, and reasonable cost. This being our first stay in...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - We travel several times a year for youth activities so when staying in a hotel 2-3 nights, often not very far from home, we are usually looking for a balance between comfort, convenience, and reasonable cost. In October 2007, we visited Helena,...

DLC900 B – A coffee maker or a test of patience?

Tue, 2 Jan 2007 22:43:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - I love coffee but coffee makers do not like me! I have been through plenty of coffee makers through the years. None of them last very long due to our hard water, even with regular vinegar baths. Of course, this is not the fault of the manufacturer but...

Teeny, tiny colors for a teeny, tiny mouse

Wed, 6 Sep 2000 20:31:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - “Teeny, Tiny Mouse” is an adorable book that will delight both children and adults. The book appeals to a wide age range of children. Depending on the age and skills, they will get something a little different out of the book. I think my 4yo son has...

Clifford was so-o-o sad and lonely…

Mon, 14 Aug 2000 05:06:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - Emily Elizabeth is happy to be out of school for summer vacation. Now she can play with her dog, Clifford. The family does not usually go on long vacations because it is too hard to get Clifford on a bus or train. However, last year was different...

Hot Wheels Car Designer: Hot Wheels Custom Car Designer is not very Hot!

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 05:32:51 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - We have owned “Hot Wheels Custom Car Designer” for nine months and can honestly say we “tried” to give it a fair test drive. I had no other choice. My son is a Hot Wheels fanatic.

The minimum requirements include a 486/66MHz, 8MB RAM,...

QX3 adds new meaning to playing with your food(or anything!)

Tue, 20 Jun 2000 06:40:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - “Mom, can we do one of my IX-PEER-E-MINTS today?” Okay, so this is not a typical 4yo question, but is one that I have been hearing since my son could barely say it at 3yo. Yes, thankfully he loves the usual cars, trucks, and legos also. However, what...

A was once a _____ ?

Tue, 6 Jun 2000 04:25:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - “A Was Once an Apple Pie” is a totally fun book for learning the alphabet.

Unlike typical alphabet books that concentrate on words that begin with each letter (after a while I think they all start to sound alike!), this book uses silly rhyming...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - I HATE THIS BOOK! Yet, I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Never have I ever felt so strongly on both ends of the spectrum for any book as I do for Dr. Suess’s ABC.

I HATE IT!…..

I had never been fond of Dr. Suess books as a child and do not like...

What is this I am feeling?

Mon, 22 May 2000 20:28:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - This is a terrific book to help young children identify a variety of emotions they might experience each day. Sometimes I think a child’s emotions are compounded by the fact that they have feelings stirring inside that they cannot associate with a...

Contact Kids is an interactive magazine for kids.

Sat, 6 May 2000 07:10:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - I feel that Children’s Television Workshop has done an outstanding job with Contact Kids magazine. I don’t believe I have seen another magazine (yet) that solicits so much interaction from a kids’ audience of readers while also delivering new, exciting,...

Disappointed with Kids Discover Magazine

Thu, 4 May 2000 04:28:19 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - There is no doubt that Discovery delivers phenomenal information through their TV programming, web sites, and magazines. Their reputation for awesome quality of content and diversity certainly precedes them. However, with all due respect, I must say...

Hurray! A Toy that is SUPPOSE to come apart!

Mon, 6 Mar 2000 05:19:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author MicheleM - My almost 4yo son takes EVERYTHING apart to try and figure out how it works (and I don’t mean just toys!). He’s extremely rough on toys. It’s not that he abuses them. Most toys simply are not made to be taken apart. He is also infatuated with vehicles...
