Sadly for Her Royal Highness, she does not have any parents in their right mind. She has a family that is nuts for sailboats and blows the whole year's... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~402259152516 Sat, 8 Sep 2007 01:28:27 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_402259152516?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401887170180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - "Once there was a tree ... and she loved a little boy." I think I am supposed to love Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree". Although my feelings toward the book are complicated, in many ways, I do love it. Mothers have read this story of love... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401887170180 Wed, 29 Aug 2007 02:21:30 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_401887170180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_377695800964?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - Something about bedtime reminds toddlers to be thirsty. I never had to provide HRH with a drink of water in bed until she realized requesting one might buy her a few more minutes before lights out. Never one to discourage a healthy habit like... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~377695800964 Mon, 18 Jun 2007 02:06:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_377695800964?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_371666882180?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - I have good reasons to feel as passionately as I do about floor cleaners. I am charged with the care of a white tile floor, so I am faced more obviously than the average person with the dirt beneath my feet. Sharing this floor with me is a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~371666882180 Fri, 8 Jun 2007 03:11:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_371666882180?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_367563411076?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - Free .99? How can I complain? If it were at all workable, I would never put my daughter in the car with me. Our feet/stroller would be our only carriage. This is not because I am a fanatical back-to-nature environmentalist; it is because I am... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~367563411076 Mon, 28 May 2007 02:47:48 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_367563411076?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_344613293700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - I've paid forty dollars for a wee scented candle in a porcelain crock in the past. Why would I do such a thing? Because after wiling away an afternoon at Neiman Marcus, trying on the Jimmy Choos I can't afford and letting the Creme De La Mer... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~344613293700 Sat, 7 Apr 2007 03:35:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_344613293700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340491800196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - I can think of many reasons to want a disposable, microwaveable, deep dish plate with a lid. For instance, what if I were sick with a terrible cold and my mother made a huge quantity of chicken noodle soup at her house? Wouldn't it be kind of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340491800196 Thu, 29 Mar 2007 11:51:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340491800196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_336629894788?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - Her Royal Highness is making me self-conscious. She watches everything I do, and then demands to do it as well. This fills me with pride when she imitates my industry by rinsing dishes and sweeping the floor, but she most often chooses to... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~336629894788 Thu, 22 Mar 2007 06:20:36 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_336629894788?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_328476167812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - I confess to a touch of sour grapes. Because I couldn't find a mop I liked, I developed a philosophical crankiness toward mops in general. Reusable spongy or ropey mops were spreaders of dirty water and breeding grounds for bacteria. Disposable... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~328476167812 Mon, 5 Mar 2007 03:46:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_328476167812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_323967225476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - Isn't that the most beautiful bath bomb you've ever seen? I thought Think Pink was way too pretty to pass up. Since I had such a lovely experience with the Waving Not Drowning bath bomb, I looked forward to trying another. Lush.com promised a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~323967225476 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 05:10:57 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_323967225476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_323072790148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - I didn't expect to use training pants. My preferred method of potty training allowed Her Royal Highness to run naked and free through my home until she learned to stay clean by visiting the bathroom in time. This method requires consistency,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~323072790148 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 01:03:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_323072790148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_313461411460?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - I don't know what my mother was thinking. She is capable of correctly evaluating products designed for toddlers, and should have dismissed this potty chair for the disaster it was destined to be. I believe my initial reaction to it was "That... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~313461411460 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 23:33:56 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_313461411460?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_319741267588?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - LUSH Waving Not Drowning Changed My Mind About Bath Bombs. I never got the point of bath bombs before trying one by LUSH. Who would pay a few dollars for something just to watch it fizzle away to nothing in the tub? All bath products eventually... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~319741267588 Tue, 13 Feb 2007 23:14:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_319741267588?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_313962106500?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - Her Royal Highness excels at arithmetic. Although she is merely two, she learned months ago to count to fourteen (that is how many stairs we have). She also understands that if she has five crackers, acquiring two more would mean seven, but... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~313962106500 Thu, 1 Feb 2007 04:57:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_313962106500?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_311238168196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - A vegetarian diet is healthy, ethical, and rarely requires a cooking thermometer. It's possible my interest in meat-free cooking is less a matter of principle and more a matter of making do with what I owned. When my parents gave me the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~311238168196 Sun, 28 Jan 2007 21:18:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_311238168196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_308371426948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - What is a LUSH Buttercream? I don't know. After using about an ounce of product, reading and re-reading the description on the LUSH website, and checking out customer reviews that describe its use, I am still not sure what a Buttercream is or... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~308371426948 Fri, 19 Jan 2007 16:32:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_308371426948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_302723993220?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - I've always been of the opinion that one serrated blade is like another. Many cooks who love their cutlery told me buying a high-quality bread knife is optional, and a cheap blade performs menial loaf-slicing tasks well enough until it is time... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~302723993220 Sun, 7 Jan 2007 04:59:11 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_302723993220?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_300373544580?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - As is proper for a genuine princess, HRH's grooming ritual is elaborate and luxurious. It is also expensive. My child is prepped, soaked, cleansed, moisturized, and spritzed with Mustela products from head to toe, and she is far too spoiled by... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~300373544580 Tue, 2 Jan 2007 05:00:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_300373544580?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_232032472708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - Reading certain books changed the way I think and live.

After the toaster oven I despised met an untimely death, I had a much better idea of what I wanted from this appliance. I wanted something to make toast quickly, and did not have any plans to roast... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~297405943428 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 19:29:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_297405943428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_297116012164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - Beer is the reason for the holiday season. No matter how multi-cultural or generic your holiday greetings, those efforts are wasted on me. I don't observe any holiday festivals at the end of the year, and I don't particularly care which one you... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~297116012164 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 11:25:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_297116012164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_295399231108?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - I am not a cosmetics junkie. I enjoy lipgloss and funky new eyeshadow colors, I really do. However most department stores place Beauty on the same floor as Shoes and Handbags. My budget only stretches so far, and it is typically blown on... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~295399231108 Sat, 23 Dec 2006 04:57:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_295399231108?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_291655683716?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author joyfulgirl91 - What play kitchen should a mother choose if she is fanatically opposed to lights, sounds, and pink plastic? Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to that question.
