You might not have a choice for phone service, but look elsewhere for DSL

Fri, 20 Apr 2001 14:18:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - When we moved from Washington State to NY, we knew that we were going to get DSL service. We figured that we might as well go with Verizon, as we used US West's service in the past, and although tech support wasnt the best, the actual service was decent...

Tue, 27 Feb 2001 14:08:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - My mother is big on the Peg Perego brand, and she loves the pram typed strollers with the big wheels and rocking action. So, naturally, when each of us got pregnant for the first time, we were carted off to the store to pick out our stroller of choice...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - My son absolutely loves to draw and paint, so we knew the time had come to find him an easel. I always like to find something that will last for as long as possible, and off to the stores to compare brands we went.

Fri, 29 Dec 2000 01:58:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - My 9 month old received the Sort and Go Car as a Christmas gift. This is one of the most adorable toys that I have seen for infants. First of all, it is quite versatile. It's a musical toy, its a pull toy, its a car and its educational! What more can...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - We were looking for a simple little truck that our infant son could push around a little bit. We didnt want a complex truck or anything with small parts. We strolled down the aisles of Walmart and found several trucks that looked like they would...

Thu, 28 Dec 2000 16:33:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - My sister-in-law and i were discussing the Tekno puppy and we both decided to get one for our kids. It was an iffy decision, as neither one of us wanted to spend all that money on a closet ornament or bottom of the toybox toy. As you can tell, I didnt...

I Didnt Expect the Intelli-table to Cause Fights!

Mon, 11 Dec 2000 01:16:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - Yes, that is correct. My three year old and my 8 month old have been "duking it out" of sorts over this toy! As one plays with it, the other is prying fingers off. It's actually quite entertaining to watch the brotherly love (snicker) on...

If he is saying "Ewww, I am not eating this!", Graduate him!

Thu, 7 Dec 2000 13:23:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - My eight month old decided that enough was enough when it came to baby food. He just flat out refused to eat it anymore. Getting three spoonfuls into his mouth was a major effort. So I went srounging around the supermarket shelves looking for...

Tue, 5 Dec 2000 12:25:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - I have to admit, when I first tried using pull-ups I was not expecting anything great. After my experience with Huggies diapers, I did not carry high hopes for this product. I was happily surprised to find that these training pants actually work quite...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - I am always looking for cute little things to use as stocking stuffers. Last Christmas I came across the Little People Petmobiles. There are four different vehicles to choose from, and I settled on the race car with driver and pet rabbit. I love the...

We always have some Pedialyte in the house

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 19:35:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - In a house with two young children, you never know when someone is going to get sick. At the first sign of a stomach flu, we break out the pedialyte.

So what is it?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - My son Zachary was diagnosed with reflux at three weeks old. He was having a lot of problems keeping down any food at all, and it was just terrible to see him suffer. Once the Upper GI showed reflux was the cause, a few very simple remedies helped a...

Thermoscan: Doesnt work for everyone

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 03:03:11 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - I used the thermoscan quite a bit with my first child. I found it to be easy to use and quite accurate. Just gently pull the ear lobe, insert the thermometer and press a button. It's a parents dream.

Just yesterday my second child was...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - I bought this teether for my oldest son and remember it being bigger and bulkier than the one that I got for my second son.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - Little People Main Street has proven to be a huge hit at my house. I bought this for my son before he was 2 years old, and two years later, it is still hours of fun.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - On one of my diaper buying sprees I noticed that I get about 12 more diapers per package by buying Huggies Ultra Trim instead of Pampers Baby Dry, and all for the same price. So the Pampers went back on the shelf, and the Huggies went into my cart.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - My mother bought this toy as a gift for my 6 month old son. My first impression of it was that he was too young for it. Was I wrong!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cristina1 - It's time for training cups in my house again. My little guy started solids a few weeks ago, and I like to also start them on a cup at the same time as solids. So, off to the store I was to find a sippy cup that the baby could use with ease.
