Boy was I wrong! Meeting this new Sony has given me a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~427136552580 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:34:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_427136552580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_417970032260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - I'm surprised I haven't seen reviews of this item here, because it was the top-reviewed blender BY FAR on another site. After checking reviews here and there, I absolutely had to have this blender... and so far (after 2 weeks), I haven't been... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~417970032260 Mon, 11 Feb 2008 17:48:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_417970032260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410480905860?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - It's funny how much I like the Miracle Blanket, considering I've always laughed at so-called "swaddling aids." As an experienced parent, I'm not afraid to swaddle a baby tight with a receiving blanket, and I think I'm even very good at it. Even so, it... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410480905860 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 03:14:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410480905860?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_410185731716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - NOTE: Picture shown is of the "Be Quick" changing pod - which is significantly less expensive and feature-packed than the actual diaper bag. I hope the supervisors of this area change the picture - there's a good one here:... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~410185731716 Sun, 9 Dec 2007 15:02:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_410185731716?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_409585487492?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - Our main stroller is a Bertini, which is simply beautiful... it has all the baby features you could ever want. But like most luxury strollers, it has zilch by way of "parent" amenities. That's where the Jolly Jumper Stroller Caddy comes in. This is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~409585487492 Thu, 6 Dec 2007 01:05:07 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_409585487492?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403318476420?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - ***It's dead! 7-month update at bottom :-((( *** Well, hopefully you'll read (and rate!) my review of our LAST digital camera - the Nikon L4. That one died after 8 months due to flimsiness and non-warranty covered issues. We got the L11 in a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403318476420 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 02:32:55 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403318476420?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403318214276?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - Basically, this camera is easy & fun enough that the kids can use it... but flimsy enough that you should NEVER let it fall into their hands. This camera was a gift last August from the kids' grandmother, who wanted to make sure she receives an... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403318214276 Sun, 16 Sep 2007 02:18:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403318214276?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_387135082116?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - We had an older Brita model for years and years, but a couple of weeks ago, someone left it on the edge of the counter and a quick swipe brought it into fatal contact with our stone floor. :-( So after 3 days of no drinking water - our city water is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~387135082116 Fri, 6 Jul 2007 18:31:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_387135082116?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_380976991876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - I thought about body pillows in each of my last 3 pregnancies and decided I wouldn't spend all that money for something I would only need for a few months. Then I saw a "gently used" Snoogle on Craigslist for $30 and I thought, sure... this may be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~380976991876 Sun, 24 Jun 2007 01:18:39 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_380976991876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_362648080004?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - I gave up the search for the perfect AIO (all-in-one) diaper a long time ago, but when I came across a brand-new one of these in a thrift shop, it was cute, I like Kushies, and I thought I'd give it a try. Well, that was a year ago and I'm still... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~362648080004 Wed, 16 May 2007 10:03:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_362648080004?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_362647424644?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - Like almost everything baby-related ;-), I found these diapers brand-new at a thrift shop. They are certainly cute when new and although basic-looking, seemed entirely functional at first. These are fitted diapers, meaning they need a cover over... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~362647424644 Wed, 16 May 2007 09:52:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_362647424644?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_361116765828?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - I bought the SkipHop Duo in a luscious chocolate colour secondhand from Craigslist. It had very little wear and I was looking forward to loving using it. The truth is, I do use it everyday - it has become my Main Diaper Bag... but that isn't saying... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~361116765828 Sun, 13 May 2007 00:16:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_361116765828?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_361099660932?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - Came across a few secondhand - some were actually brand-new, with tags listing the original $17 (Canadian) price - and reluctantly bought them because I'm a cloth diaper addict and can't resist a deal. ;-) I have never been a MotherEase fan partly... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~361099660932 Sat, 12 May 2007 23:50:17 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_361099660932?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_361099202180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - I bought these looking for a "midway" between diapers and cotton trainers - something that would fit our 18-month-old that we could pull down in a hurry but that would absorb AND be waterproof in case we failed to seize the moment, or for outings when a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~361099202180 Sat, 12 May 2007 23:36:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_361099202180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_360500072068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author j3fer - There is no learning curve with this tool and it is VERY easy to get started...
