Susan Wise Bauer - The Story of the World: History for the Classical Chid Ancient Times From the Earliest Nomad to the Last Roman Emperor: My kids love this history curriculum!

Wed, 2 Jan 2008 20:53:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - I have been homeschooling for the past five years, and have yet to find a history curriculum that I like better. We are using a combo of Oak Meadow curriculum, and supplement for history and math. We tried History Pockets, and other such curriculums...

Excellent help for children on the "spectrum"

Wed, 2 Jan 2008 20:22:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - Background, before I get into the review of the book: My daughter was born in 2001, and from the beginning, she was very defensive. She needed to be wrapped up in a blanket, very tight, in order to be able to sleep. Her arm erupting from the blanket...

Broken Belts & Burnt Rubber Make Bissell an Angry Vac

Thu, 19 Aug 2004 15:46:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - We bought this vacuum about 8 months ago, after ours "died" on us. (We had it for 7 years.) I LOVED that the Bissell Cleanview was bagless. This is not the vacuum for someone with OCD, though. When we first got it, I couldn't believe that much...

Am I The Only One Who Hated This Book?

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 08:53:07 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - The only thing good I can say about this book, was that the artwork was beautiful. I also liked the grandfather's tall tale.

If the author stopped describing food... oh, about 8 pages into it, it might've held our interest. I kept finding...

Can we say BORING?

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 08:39:09 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - Of all the children's books I have borrowed/read, this has to be one of the best bedtime stories. (Being sarcastic, of course.) I was yawning by page two, and I wasn't even tired. My daughter was looking around the room & sighing while I read it. I was...

Can't afford to Homeschool? Think again!

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 08:03:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - Have you been called a cheapskate, miser, thrifty, or other such lovely words all your life, like I have? Well, then this is a great book to brush up on skills, or get new ones. If you aren't thrifty, then get ready... you will be. An excellent book,...

Thinking about Homeschooling, but aren't sure? Read this book!

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 07:08:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - The actual title is "Homeschooling: The Early Years Your Complete Guide to Successfully Homeschooling the 3- to 8-Year-Old Child" (epinions has it listed at 7)

I wouldn’t say this is a “complete” guide by any means. I will say it...

Free... besides the cost of the book!

Wed, 23 Apr 2003 06:37:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - I am currently using any "free" online curriculum for my daughter's "pre-school" education, so I really enjoy this book. This puts the focus back on homeschool, rather than the search for things to learn. The links are to well-researched & put-together...

So that's how they make their money!

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 22:11:09 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - Almost everyone knows that banks make their money by charging, what they call, "Service charges". They show up on your statement, here & there, with no explanation, but "service charge". It's never anything extravagant.. $5.95...

Ahh, finally no back-ache!

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 21:43:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - We bought this mattress when we moved into a bigger house, and gave our daughter our full-sized bed. We figured a queen-size would be big enough for us 2. (A king would have been great, but wouldn't fit in our room!) After years of backache from our old...

A much nicer carseat than the Grand Explorer!

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 21:16:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - After dealing with the Grand Explorer (see epinion), I love this carseat. It is big enough for my 2 year old daughter to fit into comfortably. It has headrests so that she can enjoy her naps in the car without falling out of the side, and it doesn't have...

This carseat isn't worth $19.95...

Mon, 13 Nov 2000 21:00:43 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - I bought this carseat because our daughter outgrew her last one. (It became a struggle to even buckle her in on the crotch part, because there wasn't enough room.) We went to Walmart & looked at the other carseats... all of them seemed to be what we...

A complete WASTE of money

Fri, 5 May 2000 14:05:08 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - What can I say, these little "cookie bars" are awful. Did they even test these out on children before they put them on the market?

Sure, they are full of vitamins and are a healthy snack alternative. They are extremely dry, hard,...

Most of these are really good!

Fri, 5 May 2000 13:54:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - Gerber has quite a good line of Toddler foods readily available at almost any grocery store you go to. I have been buying them for about a year now for my daughter, and she loves most of them.

Here are the categories available & my...

Early Pregnancy Energy Booster

Sun, 30 Jan 2000 04:33:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 -

If I only knew how much energy this tape would give me, I would have used this all through my first pregnancy. I'll admit it, I got a bit chubbier than I would have liked to with my first baby. And being newly pregnant again, I am determined not to...

If you enjoy that tingly feeling of a sore back, this carrier is the right one for you!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 19:04:24 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 -

I got this for my baby shower, and I thought it'd be so wonderful! Oh, the closeness me and my unborn child would be feeling! I couldn't have been more wrong. The name of this product is very misleading.

It puts a horrible strain on...

The Best Baby Carrier!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 18:57:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - After using one of those front carriers, the Sling was a Back-Saver! Luckily, my aunt had kept hers from when she had my cousin.

There are many positions you can carry you baby in, depending on size & age. It comes with a handy pamphlet...

re: LovelyLady's Opinion "Nightmare on Nick"

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 05:15:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - Let me just say I think LovelyLady has gone a bit overboard on this.

I love this cartoon, so maybe Im biased.

I HONESTLY did tell my husband a week or so ago, that I thought it was ODD that the parents were never around... and how this could...

Archived Web Services Reviews: Babycenter.com

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 03:09:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - Do you need information on babies? From Immunization schedules, expert advice, chats with other mommies, to a store, this site has got ANYTHING you are looking for. Seriously. I haven't found a site like this with this much information anywhere else.

My worst nightmare has come true!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 18:40:05 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - Let me begin by saying, I was a dumb 18 year old who wanted a computer. I shopped around a bit & found that Best Buy had the "best deal". They also had an almost too-easy-to-get credit card. My limit was approved for $2500. I got a...

I would have given away ALL my Barbies for this...

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 04:25:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - I admit it, when I first saw the commercial for this, this holiday season, I actually whined "Why didn't they have this when IIIIIII was a kid?" My husband laughed at me....but he was never a girl.

He never played "store" in his...

Keeps my daughter entertained til her feet are pruney

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 04:04:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - My daughter received this for Christmas & she just loves it. She plays with it in, and out of the bathtub. It is colorful, and there are lots of things to keep toddlers occupied. There's a honeycomb you can press & it makes a chimney ontop erupt...

Hey Arnold: Helga is my hero

Thu, 20 Jan 2000 21:14:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - I'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't like this show. The characters are so funny & well developed for a cartoon. Especially Helga. Poor, uni-browed, snub-nosed, love-struck Helga.

The "main" character is supposed to be...

This Swing is NOT Sturdy

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 03:37:04 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - My aunt let me have this. She had it for her two children, so it held up pretty well. The padding stayed soft & it looked new. It is comfortable, and runs quietly.

The things I didn't like about this swing is that it is hard to move, and it is...

The Perfect Bottle

Wed, 19 Jan 2000 03:08:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author aubreyj0 - When my daughter was 2 weeks old, my doctor informed me that my daughter's jaundice wasn't clearing up because an enzyme in my breast milk wouldn't allow her body to "heal" itself. I had to stop breastfeeding her for a week, and use regular...
