rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author imbattmom - I have a love-hate relationship with Clinique. If you opened up my make-up drawer, you would be overwhelmed with that oh-so-familiar look of Clinique light green and silver packaged products. Half of them I use, the other half were bonus gifts that I...

I've Learned to Love Goodnight Moon

Fri, 5 May 2000 16:10:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author imbattmom - I used to detest reading Goodnight Moon. I thought the pictures were rather dull, and the rhythm was ho-hum. Now, every time I pick it up, I fight back the tears...and I'm not usually the sappy, emotional type.

You see, my 20 month-old son...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author imbattmom - Albertson's. I've never cared for this store. In part, I don't care for it, because I don't have a taste for lettuce with a brown core. I don't care to get weevils in my house from items purchased at this store (that truly happened to a friend of...
