Sun, 4 May 2008 08:52:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - I purchased my first Graco Turbo Booster four years ago, for my first daughter. Although she was only two years old at the time, she was large enough in height and weight to go into a booster seat. At first, she was all over the place in the seat,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - When I was pregnant with my first child, I decided to register for a swing. This one looked cool, so I put it on my registry. For some reason, we did not even open the box until our little girl was about 4 weeks old. But as soon as we did, this...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - Like many first time moms, before my daughter Amy was born, I purchased a travel system (stroller/carrier/carseat combo) for my baby.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - If you have read any of my other reviews, you know that I was pretty clueless when Amy was born just a few weeks ago. A few long, exasperating weeks ago. (I vaguely remember sleep - don't you?) Anyway, Amy never had a pacifier in her mouth whenever...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - OK, so I'm new to this whole mother thing. Actually, before I had my precious Amy on May 7 2002, I had never picked up a newborn, much less changed a diaper. So, because I am one of those people who researches everything, I did a fair amount of diaper...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - When I had my first and (to date) only baby, Amy, on May 7 2002, I was absolutely clueless about babies in general. I vaguely remember my mother boiling nipples and the like for my kid sister, but that was a very distant memory. So, while filling out...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - When I entered into the culinary arts program in college, I went out and purchased a copy of Joy of Cooking. All of my chefs would occasionally refer to this book, so I decided that I had to have it.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - I have never really had a kitten before - I mostly had dogs growing up. So, I was a little over-protective of my new tabby kitten Spock.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - I have had my 6-1/2 year old golden retriever, Jethro, since he was 12 weeks old. I love him so much, I'd probably try to give him a kidney if he needed it. So you can imagine my dilemma when he started literally eating the interior doors in our home...

Wed, 19 Jul 2000 22:31:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author afollmer - My dog would lay down to eat when he was a puppy, that's how lazy he was. So the decision to switch him to a low calorie or senior dog food when he was old enough came very easily for me.
