rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - I have been told my whole life that I have “the early stages” of gum disease. No dentist has ever said that I “do” have gum disease (or gingivitis) only that I have been in the early stages, for my entire life. My father, who practiced decent oral...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - Having children who have loved their Brio trains from a very young age we finally reached that point where we were looking for something new to do with our trains. So I scrimped and saved and saved and scrimped and finally was able to get the Thomas the...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - Cubby received this from the grandparents on his second Christmas. He already had a full sized alphabet desk handed down from my stepson but this was something he could carry around with him, it is small- about the size of a busy box for a crib and has a...

Sat, 19 Feb 2000 16:29:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - My kids received this as a Christmas gift this last year form my mother-in-law. I have to admit that I was not happy with this- we already have playhut stuff and I find it to be a huge pain to store. Oftentimes I wait until bedtime, spend an hour folding...

Baby Geniuses

Fri, 11 Feb 2000 23:35:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - I very much subscribe to the idea of early enrichment. As the author of this book says (I will paraphrase): What if Thomas Edison had been given 6 more years? Not at the end of his life as age slowed him down but at the beginning when he was fresh and...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - There were several things I wanted in a bassinet to use with my children. I wanted something I could move into the "day part" of the house during the day and into our bedroom at night. I wanted something that could rock. I wanted something that...

A Hit Even When They Have Outgrown It

Sat, 5 Feb 2000 17:10:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - This is one of the first software titles I ever got for my children. Even though my oldest is far past learning anything from it he still loves it and constantly asks "play Reader Rabbit?"

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - The latest addition to our Veggie Collection is Rack, Shack and Benny and just to let you know how much my children love it, it is the first one my toddler learned the name of after one viewing. Now he doesn't want to watch "Veggie Tales" he...

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 05:38:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - Ever since I saw this product at the preschool I worked in I wanted to have one as soon as I had kids old enough for it. The card packs are rated for children ages 3 through about the sixth grade but since my toddler just started taking an extreme...

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 04:54:42 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - Shape Sorters provide an infant and toddler with an opportunity to learn a few basic skills. However the first one we got was the Tupperware one, which although a high quality toy is really too complicated for one just starting out. In comes my mom to...

Great First Game

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 23:30:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - The toddler/preschool years are probably my favorite. Children are still excited about learning, wanting to know everything and haven't reached that stage yet where they want as little to do with momma as possible. I couldn't wait for my firstborn to...

Reading for All Ages

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 05:50:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - In this day and age talking about virtues seems to have been long forgotten. Simple things like honesty, self-discipline, hard work have all been thrown out the window because those things don't tend to make people feel good or be happy.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - I admit it, when it comes to remote controls I am technically challenged. Not to mention I could never find it anway since hubby keeps it hidden. So when he brought this little toy home my first thought was "Oh Great!!, more buttons to learn."...

The Power of The Media

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 08:29:53 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - I did not see Blair Witch. I saw enough of the website, enough of the book and enough of the ads on TV to know thatI didn't want to see it. I now know that the movie is fake but at one time I too beleived it was real. Fake or real I will probably not see...

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 00:10:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - Family Circle is one of those magazines I never let expire. It has a little bit of everything a "home" magazine can. Everything in it is simple and normal, no fancy stuff you only dream about one day having the time to do.

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 22:15:28 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kancel - I joined memolink a few months ago after they stopped being a college-students only site. Memolink rates up there with freeride in my book, its straighforward, it's easy and it pays pretty decent.

My most favorite feature of Memolink is they...
