Great Vegetable Dishes

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 02:30:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - We often eat at Cracker Barrel because of the wide variety of dishes on the menu.

My first few trips to Cracker Barrel were while traveling on vacations. It was so good, we decided to make the 30 minute drive to the nearest one which is 25...

Great Family Dining

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 02:05:49 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - Sonny's is one of our favorite places to eat as a family. The prices are excellent and four people can easily eat for less than $30.00.

It is also a great place to take a group of kids for an inexpensive dinner. Besides the great barbecue,...

Amazing and a Fast Read

Thu, 16 Mar 2000 14:40:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - I did this backwards. I read Billie Letts second book last weekend and it was so good I had to go buy the first one, "Where the Heart Is."

Again the setting is Oklahoma. Novalee nation is a seventeen year old pregnant girl, dumped...

Read it in One Day

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 11:21:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - The Honk and Holler Opening Soon is a great book! I couldn't put it down until it was finished. Luckily I started it on a weekend.

Set around a diner in Oklahoma, it tells the story of the lives of the people who come and go through the diner...

Runaway Hit

Tue, 14 Mar 2000 10:59:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - They've done it again. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere come together in another movie and just as in Pretty Woman, they make it work.

We bought this movie on "pay per view" last weekend. I don't buy every movie that comes on and...

A Classic To Be

Sat, 11 Mar 2000 00:52:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - Finally, a movie for the entire family. I took my eleven year old son and his Grandpa last night to see "My Dog Skip." I don't know which of the three of us enjoyed it most.

This is a movie that will become a classic of the same sort...

A Hit at Our House

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 18:21:51 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - Nascar is big at our house in any form. My older son keeps sports channels on constantly to keep up with Dale Earnhardt. He and my younger son have all Nascar games and really enjoy this one. With Nascar 2000 my husband is now hooked on it.

Grocery Stores: WalMart is My Store

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 02:59:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - I love Super WalMart! I like the fact that it is one stop shopping.

I will say that you have to choose the WalMart that works best for you. The nearby WalMart doesn't have the best service and nicest cashiers. I drive a few miles to another WalMart...

Saves Me Money

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 02:34:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - I love QVC! It is a simple and quick way to buy unique gifts. I have found great bargains for birthday gifts and Christmas.

I don't watch QVC on a daily basis, so I don't feel addicted, but I do check it out when a special occasion comes...

Fun For the Entire Family

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 02:19:02 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - My parents played dominoes often when I was a child. I learned to play with their help and loved it. I felt so grown-up when I played with them. Now we play with my son and he enjoys it as much as I did. We try to play games a few times each week with...

Gotta Have It!

Fri, 25 Feb 2000 00:25:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - AOL is not without its problems, but for me the good outweighs the bad. I love the AOL message boards. I have learned so much from others on the boards on many different topics.

Being a first time homeschool mom, it has helped me find other...

Dad and Son Love It! Mom Too

Wed, 23 Feb 2000 17:15:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - The Discovery channel is one of the most watched channels in our home.

My husband and son usually watch some programming there each evening.

They especially like shows about how hurricanes are formed and other acts of nature. Recently we...

Barney Teaches Fun and More

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 19:09:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - My son grew up watching Barney every morning and then on videos later in the day. I have never understood why people dislike him so much. The show is fun, educational, and energetic. The "I Love You" song is beautiful and it is too bad all kids...

Funny and Clean Too

Tue, 22 Feb 2000 18:55:35 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - It isn't often you flip through the channels and find something the whole family can sit and watch together. With Nickelodeon during the day you can let the kids watch and not worry about what may come on next, if you are out of the room.

Let's Listen to Our Children

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 18:23:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - I enjoyed reading this book as a mother who wants to be the best I can be as a role model and parent to my children. The author is a parent who shares his family and their values with us, the mistakes and the things he has learned from them.

Thought Provoking

Sun, 20 Feb 2000 16:52:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - I read this book, the first in a series, as soon as I could find it. It is spell-binding, a true "can't put it down" book. The rest of the series is truly the same. They only get better.

The books are about the Rapture and a group...

Great Family Vacation

Fri, 18 Feb 2000 16:53:27 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - We have traveled to Gatlinburg twice in the past 4 years. Our first trip we stayed in a hotel in Pigeon Forge. Big mistake! This is not the place to be with children. Basically no matter which hotel you are staying in, the kids can see all the tourist...

USA Today: Read It Everyday

Fri, 18 Feb 2000 03:59:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - In our house USA Today is our main source of world news. Though we also read our state newspaper each day, USA gives us more coverage of world news and usually a day earlier than the other papers.

I personally like the way it is laid out. It...

1998 Ford Explorer 4WD: Not What I expected

Wed, 16 Feb 2000 18:03:38 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - We bought a 1998 Ford Explorer in 1998 because it seemed to have all of the features we were looking for. It seemed to be roomy enough for 3 people. I like the back opening door for easier loading and unloading of groceries and other items. Wish there...

Clean Family Fun

Tue, 15 Feb 2000 03:00:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author adixiemom - Leave It To Beaver is fun for the whole family. How many of the newer shows can the whole family sit down together and enjoy? Not many with children in the house! It is life in the days many of us miss. I think it helps children who are growing up in...
