Tue, 27 Mar 2007 15:22:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - 10 fingernails all looking good – is that too much to ask? Apparently, for me at any rate, it is. I have been in pursuit of the miracle cure for some time. Acrylic nails were the answer for a time but I can no longer justify the extravagance. I have...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - Who taught my Grand daughter to walk upstairs? Sheesh! she could barely walk and she was climbing stairs – unfortunately she can’t quite climb down the stairs not to mention the fact that our upstairs is not baby proof. We had a Evenflo...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - Have you ever had one of those days....the kind when you never get anything done because you have so many interruptions and detours along the way? For example, on a typical day with my Grand daughter I’ll greet her at the door, bring in the...

This Grandmother Doesn't Need Convenience

Sun, 18 Mar 2007 16:36:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - I enjoy feeding my grand daughter. But now that she’s getting older she’d rather feed herself. If I hold a banana she’ll bit from it. If I peel an apple she’ll make short work of it. I want her to try new foods, tastes, and experiences...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - My son gave me a bottle of this fragrance as a Mother’s Day gift some years back and I make an effort to wear it whenever he’s around. (I’ll also add a little if I’m going out in the afternoon.) I have been asked what fragrance I was wearing and I get a...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - We had to get one of these for our Grand daughter for Christmas. It was like carrying on a family tradition – I remember them from her father’s and uncle’s toddler years. It has changed little from 20+ years ago. The handle is plastic...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - All right I admit it – I didn’t get this for my Grand daughter I got it for myself (after learning about it from Epinions). We have an enclosed shower that stays nice and warm. Why, in the wintertime, would I want to step out to a colder...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - I am lucky enough to be able to babysit my Grand daughter 3 days a week and either she was getting bored with my toy selection or I was. Since she was turning a year old I thought I would get her a few gifts to keep at my house. I had seen the...

Fri, 2 Mar 2007 13:54:31 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author fresca - Phones are not like they were when I had children. Then (that would be in the olden days) the receiver was attached to the phone, which was attached to a cord that plugged into the wall. And believe it or not the phone rang when someone called...
