They're easy to clean, can... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~479093100164 Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:54:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_479093100164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_414775348868?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - We bought this toy for Christmas for my son when he was 6 months old. At that time he was just starting to sit on his own, and he loved the Fisher-Price Baby Grand Piano immediately. He'd sit at the piano and (with a little guidance at first) pound on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~414775348868 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:58:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_414775348868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_365378113156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - These are the first wipes I used on my baby after bringing him home from the hospital, and I'm still using them 10 months later. I originally bought Pampers Sensitive Touch Wipes because I wanted to use the most gentle wipes available on my newborn, so I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~365378113156 Tue, 22 May 2007 10:04:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_365378113156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_351810391684?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - The Valco Runabout Jogger Stroller is not cheap (I paid about $425) - and at first, I believed it was worth every penny. However, my son is now 9 months old and weighs only 20 pounds, and the waist strap is getting quite tight about his waist/legs. It... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~351810391684 Sun, 22 Apr 2007 14:34:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_351810391684?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_313653563012?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - On about half the days since my son was born 6 ½ months ago, I haven&#146t had time to brush my teeth until noon. So I was delighted to discover one day that he finally fits in the Baby Einstein Activity Center that we received as a baby shower gift last... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~313653563012 Wed, 31 Jan 2007 12:55:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_313653563012?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_313172397700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - This swing, along with our crib mobile (see my review of the Tiny Love Symphony Animal Mobile) was a lifesaver in the early months with our baby! My son is not a good sleeper, and during the first 3-4 months, he would only sleep well when either my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~313172397700 Tue, 30 Jan 2007 11:57:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_313172397700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_312688545412?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - I received this mobile as a gift, and when I first saw it, I must admit, I wasn't sure if I'd even keep it. The colors and style didn't match our nursery, so I thought about returning it for something else. Boy - am I glad I kept it! This mobile is the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~312688545412 Mon, 29 Jan 2007 10:48:50 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_312688545412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_224959499908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - The XP 4050 is an extremely easy machine to use and to clean. I was worried about getting a capuccino maker because I thought that any machine would be difficult to clean and care for, but I looked into this machine and thought it would be easy.

Yet some exfoliants seem to be too abrasive, and though I love the way they smooth my skin at first and leave it feeling polished... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~208887713412 Wed, 19 Oct 2005 20:30:06 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_208887713412?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_197112598148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - Since I can remember, Kitchen Aid stand mixers have been the gold standard when it comes to countertop mixing appliances. However, I was recently able to borrow a Jenn-Air Atrezzi stand mixer and was pleasantly surprised by it's design, performance and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~197112598148 Mon, 26 Sep 2005 14:34:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_197112598148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_195591966340?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - I've had a few blenders in the past that had all sorts of bells and whistles, with multiple speed settings, changeable blades and more. But none of them compare to the Oster Beehive Blender. This model is a real kitchen workhorse, and it's fairly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~195591966340 Thu, 8 Sep 2005 09:52:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_195591966340?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194667646596?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - First off, let me say that slow cookers are one of the greatest kitchen inventions available today for busy people who don't have hours to spend in the kitchen preparing meals. With that said, the Cuisinart Slow Cooker is by far the best slow cooker out... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~194667646596 Mon, 29 Aug 2005 20:09:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_194667646596?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_194606960260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - I have a very small oven in my kitchen, so when my former toaster oven broke, I needed a replacement that would be ready to do a lot of work. The Cuisinart Toaster Oven/Broiler/Convection Oven definitely does the job. It's large enough to fit most frozen... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~194606960260 Mon, 29 Aug 2005 10:26:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_194606960260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_185581014660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - I received a set of Pfaltzgraff Orleans dinnerware from my bridal registry when I got married two years ago, and I love it as much today after two years of nearly constant use as I did when I first opened up the boxes. The dinnerware is durable,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~185581014660 Wed, 8 Jun 2005 16:54:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_185581014660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_185580097156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - My husband and I purchased the Kodak EasyShare CX7430 Digital Camera as a wedding present to each other and have been very happy with both the camera and the service from Kodak (see below when we needed a repair...).

And vacuuming, of all the household chores, is pretty much at the bottom of my list. So if I can find any type of tool to make the job more enjoyable - or, at least, less objectionable - I'm ecstatic. The Dyson DC04PL almost (I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~170145320580 Tue, 18 Jan 2005 12:23:03 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_170145320580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_131924528772?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blanders76 - I received this gift as a wedding present along with a set of beautiful Henckels knives. While my new knives arrived razor sharp, I had an old set that were woefully dull, so I tried out my new sharpener on them. This sharpener is great!

After two years of the stands, the magazine has returned with the May 2004 issue. It seems to be only available for sale on newsstands (not for subscription yet).

I always thought that breakouts would stop (or at least become far less frequent) once I left my teen years behind. Alas... I'm still waiting.

Eating out with children can often be a less than enjoyable experience when kids get bored and cause a scene in a restaurant full of couples out for a romantic evening.
