Hewlett Packard DeskJet 632c Inkjet Printer: Very slow, but sooo pretty!

Sun, 28 Oct 2001 00:44:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - Just ask my kids and they'll quote me... When it comes to shopping, my favorite saying is "Cheap! Cheap!" I'm a single mom on a budget, and I am always looking for a bargain. Buying a new printer was no exception. I have two - one is a black and white...

Still Emerson fans!

Sat, 27 Oct 2001 22:50:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - My very first VCR was an Emerson, and it just died. Believe it or not, I bought it 18 years ago! It has had it's problems, I've had it repaired once and learned how to unjam it myself a time or two, but it continued to do its job. In the meantime my...

What shall we do with Cera this season?

Sat, 21 Jul 2001 23:38:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - When child #2 (Amanda) was going to turn 3, I wanted to get her a sand box/wading pool for her birthday. I'd seen the turtle and the one that looks like a boat, but when I saw the dinosaur that looked like her favorite character at the time (Cera from...

Ours "bites", watch your toes!!!

Sat, 21 Jul 2001 21:52:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - My older two kids never paid much attention to push toys, so I hadn't given them much thought once my son started walking. The Fisher Price Walk 'N Waddle Duck caught Ben's eye at the store, initially not because of the push toy aspect, but because it...

1987 Honda Civic Wagon: Vroom Vroom

Thu, 1 Feb 2001 21:58:04 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - ***Note: This epinion is about a Honda Civic 4-door sedan - there was no category for that exactly, but the 87 Civic wagon is closest I could find.

If you've ever read my epinions, you know that last year I was about ready to trade in (bury...

Sat, 18 Nov 2000 17:08:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - My daughters and I had a rough week, and we really needed a break. Time to send the baby to hang out with dad, and catch a movie! So for the first time, we saw a movie the day it was released. Boy, am I glad!

First off, I just love the...

Ariel's Sequel

Thu, 12 Oct 2000 15:16:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - My girls and I have accumulated quite the collection of Disney movies. I think we are only missing maybe two or three of the entire Disney parade. So, of course, we had to pick this one up. I am always hesitant about sequels. In my experience with...

Maybe poop-scooping isn't so bad...

Sat, 26 Aug 2000 18:11:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - OK, so I like electronic toys. The whole computer age is just fascinating to me, so when the girls wanted these little dogs, I went along with it. (Especially since they were spending their own money!) We have a dog, but he's really daddy's dog and...

Graco LiteRider Stroller: Rolling, rolling, rolling

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - My mother-in-law and I wanted to go shopping when she came to visit me after my son and I got home from the hospital. I mean, we wanted to SHOP! At the time I only had the umbrella stroller that I'd used for the girls, and it certainly would not do for...

My poor, tired, abused, beloved van

Sun, 11 Jun 2000 02:29:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - My 1987 Aerostar, what can I tell you about it? I love it, although maybe I shouldn’t. Allow me to elaborate <g>.

We bought this minivan 2-1/2 years ago, when I had no transportation at all. My old Volvo had died; I had two kids, and...

Sun, 11 Jun 2000 00:47:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - Ben’s Grandma and Grandpa sent him the smaller version of the bouncing Tigger for his birthday, two months ago. Since his time in the NICU when his name tag above his isolette featured a picture of Tigger, the striped guy has been a mascot of sorts for...

Handy for the money

Sat, 20 May 2000 12:22:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - I work from a home office. I have a great laser printer that I use for professional applications, and have had wonderful results in that respect. However, now my daughters are getting old enough to need the computer for school work, and they are...

Arf, Arf, N-G-O

Thu, 18 May 2000 19:36:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - This puppy came to live at our house for my son’s first birthday. Ben crawls on his hands and feet – no knees. In this manner he goes so fast that learning to walk would actually slow him down, and he has no interest. Even if you hold his fingers, he...

The Coolest Croc Going

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 03:31:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - I bought the Crocodile 2-in-1 for my son for his first birthday. Perusing the aisles at the store with Ben in tow, I was trying to see what would catch his eye, when this little green guy caught MY eye! I remember the little xylophones that every kid...

Thu, 20 Apr 2000 03:09:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - Seven years ago, with the birth of my second child, I decided I just had to have a sewing machine. Not only was I going to be a good mommy and make clothes for my darling little girls, but at the time I was trying to find a way to stay home with my...

Tue, 4 Apr 2000 20:05:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - I know from the experiences of my most trusted testing crew (my daughters) that Century car seats are wonderful. They each had a Century convertible seat that lasted, wore well, and they were extremely comfortable in. They each came home from the...

Take a deep breath before you start, it will have to last...

Sun, 2 Apr 2000 05:14:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - I can't honestly tell you which book got me hooked on Stephen King. But hooked I am, as attested to by my bookshelf. You'll find every book of his to date, in hardback. I am a die-hard fan. And yet, The Stand remains my favorite.

I...

Archived Home & Garden Reviews: Cute AND delicious!

Wed, 29 Mar 2000 03:03:09 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - When my daughters were 2 and 3, we discovered the delight of waffles with strawberry cream cheese on them. Very soon after this, I discovered the expense of frozen waffles. Hmmm... So off I went in search of a waffle maker. And because my daughters...

A great transition aid for us...

Tue, 21 Mar 2000 04:27:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - I had the Slumber Time Soother on my registry for my baby shower for my son. I don't know why - I've never actually been much on gadgets and such for my babies. But this just intrigued me and seemed like a neat idea. I did receive it at my shower,...

So Clever!

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 03:41:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - Standing there in the aisle at Wal-Mart, trying to decide what nifty little toy or gadget might satisfy my newly-teething son, I spied these little critters. Being the democratic mom, I showed my then six-month-old baby the entire variety of animals...

Awww, who can resist...

Sat, 4 Mar 2000 05:16:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - My mother-in-law brought one of these to each of my daughters, then 6-1/2 and 8, when she came to help and visit after my son was born. I had, up until then, not paid much attention to the Furby craze, but she told me how she had fallen in love with...

No, thank you. (How would you say that in Tubby-ese?)

Mon, 28 Feb 2000 21:34:04 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - I finally gave in and tuned in to Teletubbies when no children were around. I was pregnant with my third at the time, and since my other two and I are such big fans of Barney, I figured I'd check this out and possibly plan equal time. I even watched...

My hero!

Sun, 27 Feb 2000 20:20:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - I laughingly tell friends that Barney saved my 2nd daughter's life. It's actually not so far from the truth...

I have trouble with preterm labor with my pregnancies. I did with my first in 1991, and when I got pregnant with my second only 10...

I really, really wanted it to work...

Sun, 27 Feb 2000 19:41:08 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Urbanmt - If you've read any of my other epinions, you know that my new son was premature. His time in the NICU apparently was more scarring for mom, because I'm tremendously attached to this little boy, and love having him as close as possible. With my...
