rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - At the beginning of the winter, both my kids were coughing their way through the nights. A friend of mine suggested a humidifier might help them breathe easier. I went out and bought two of them...one for each room.

From the first night I...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - A friend of mine was telling me about this great toy she’d gotten for her daughter. It was a Fisher Price Flip and Doodle. She’d only seen it online and at Target. Since we were going to Target that afternoon, I picked one up for my son, who...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - When I was pregnant with my son, a friend of mine sent me a Braun ThermoScan Ear Thermometer. She said her sister swore by it and told her no one with kids should be without one. I was extremely grateful for the gift as I thought it would be so perfect...

Mon, 1 May 2000 16:05:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - I recently purchased the game Candy Land for my almost 2 1/2-yr-old son. I must say that I’m thrilled I did! I remember playing the game as a child and couldn’t wait for my kids to get old enough to play. Although the game says it’s for ages...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - Shortly after my husband and I were married, he joined the military. We'd both been in college and neither of us drove what we'd consider particularly reliable vehicles, but since my husband knows a great deal about vehicle maintenance and repair, it...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - Because I was unhappy with the double stroller I already had, I went off looking for a new one. I knew I wanted a front-to-back one like the one I already had, but I couldn't find one that I really liked. I saw an advertisement for a Graco double...

Bohjalian an extremely talented writer

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 16:24:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - I agree, Midwives is an excellent read. The reader is immediately taken in by the characters in the novel and constantly second-guessing his or her own opinions of what happened that fateful day.

I had to remind myself a time or two that the...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - My father-in-law purchased this toy for my daughter last Easter and all I can say is I wish he hadn't. It has to be the most annoying toy I've seen in a long time. We left it up at my mom's house, rather than bring it home with us!

Mon, 17 Jan 2000 13:41:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cbermom - While the idea of a mop that sprays water and vacuums it up is a very good one, the Dirt Devil Mop Vac is a poor example of such a notion. My husband purchased the mop vac for me about a year ago and I can count on two hands the number of times I've...
