A Classic Toy!

Wed, 3 May 2000 01:50:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I got this activity center on eBay used because I wasn't sure if my little guy would like it. I wanted to try it cheap -- you know how so many toys seem great but baby's not interested.

Well, I didn't waste my money. My 13 month old really...

The Strangest Game Show I've Ever Seen

Thu, 27 Jan 2000 04:15:46 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - And I would classify this as a game show.

This odd little show is part of Nick's afternoon lineup. It features a child who has done something a little out of the ordinary. For instance, the last one I saw was "Fits Horses With Metal...

ZOOM is back!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 20:34:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I remember watching Zoom myself after school when I was in elementary school, and now Zoom is back for another generation.

I loved this show when I was little. I remember a few years ago thinking of it fondly and being surprised I remembered...

What age group is this for?

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 18:45:55 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I'm just not sure about this show. I think it's pretty cute, and I've watched it a good 20 or 30 times with my kids. But Angelica, I have to admit, makes me darn uneasy. I guess there has to be a villain in most shows, but to have such a young kid be...

Markers aren't the best

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:10:57 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I think you'd be better off if you spent an extra dollar or two buying Crayola markers instead of these. I agree with other reviewers who have said these are not the best and that they fade and run out fast. I don't think you get enough out of them to...

Gotta have 'em!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 16:03:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - What would my children's clothes look like without Crayola Washable Markers? I don't even want to know.

I have two stepsons, 8 and 10, and they are so messy. Especially the 8 year old. This is the kind of child who wears his breakfast,...

My 8 year old loves this

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 14:49:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I see a lot of negative ratings for this album and I have to say I think it really depends on the age of your child. My stepson is 8 years old and loves this.

Before he got this for Christmas from a friend of mine he was using an old football...

My baby loves it!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:42:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - This little teether blanket is a really neat invention. It's basically a small square of waffle-knit security blanket with four rubber corners for teething. The green corner has a small elastic for attaching things to or for attaching the blanket to...

MyPoints.com: Why not?

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:36:12 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I've used MyPoints for about 4 or 5 months now, and earned at least 5 Target gift certificates for $10. I have made NO purchases to earn my points.

Most of the points I have earned at MyPoints have come from the TalkCity website. There are...

Postage4free.com: Been there, done that, didn't get anything.

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 13:26:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - Just like almost everyone else who has reviewed this, I signed up for it last fall, probably September. Of course, I got nothing. I didn't get a lot of excess junk mail, as some people are claiming, but we have our own server and my husband has several...

Oh NO! Not the GOBLINS!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 03:51:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I've seen this show just a couple of times because it comes on after something we watch regularly... maybe Teletubbies. Usually I turn off the TV when the show we are watching is over, because my baby is only 10 months old and I don't want the TV...

Simply Timeless

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 03:44:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - Mr. Rogers should be declared a national treasure. I remember watching this show when I was tiny, and I can't wait for my baby to be old enough to watch it.

The Mr. Rogers show is a strange little show... sort of old-fashioned. Mr. Rogers...

A great game for learning geography

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 02:24:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I bought this game last summer for my 8 and 10 year old stepsons. It is a little too hard for my 8 year old, and I have to sit with him and help him quite a bit for him to play. My 10 year old does better, but even he needs some help, as this game is...

Where in the U.S.A. is Carmen Sandiego? Classic Edition: A truly educational game

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 02:18:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I bought this game last summer for my 8 and 10 year old stepsons. I thought that it was probably a little too advanced for my 8 year old, and I was right. But my 10 year old is really good at it, and I can sit and play with my 8 year old and he enjoys...

A reliable diaper

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 16:49:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - We usually buy Huggies, but I'd found a contest that Drypers was running, and in order to enter you had to buy two packages of diapers. So off I went to the store to buy 2 packages of Drypers.

I was pleasantly surprised by these diapers...

Web drug stores: Great choice... if there are coupons

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 16:33:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I've used every web drugstore there is. That is, I've used every one that's put out an online coupon or code. Selfcare, drugstore.com, drugemporium, healthshop, vitamins.com, planetrx, and more.com are the ones I can think of at the moment. I like...

Recommended, but for who?

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 05:46:39 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I've watched this show about 5 times. I like the Simpsons and wanted to see what good old Matt Groening was up to next. So I managed to squeeze in the first few episodes, and then, frankly, lost interest.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad...

Simpsons, The: Simpsons -- not such a bad show

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 05:42:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I remember when this show first came out... you would have thought that Satan himself was writing the script and producing the show. That weird little yellow main character is just so terrible! He's no role model! What if our kids start saying...

Hey Arnold: Strange looking characters oddly appealing

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 05:35:09 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I think this show is a lot like Doug, only on uppers. Or maybe it's Peanuts on steroids. Anyway... It has the same basic scenario -- a bunch of kids of indeterminate age going about their daily business and learning things along the way. I don't...

So cute and fun

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 05:07:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I got this set for my baby a couple of months ago, but we just opened it about a week ago. I had just discovered epinions and wanted to keep baby busy so I opened up this new toy. He absolutely loved it. The pots and pans and lids are just the right...

I love Citibank

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 04:59:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - So there are cards out there that have better rates, sure. But I have never had a card that has given me the great service that this card has. I have been consistently pleased with the customer service of Citibank, and this is one card I won't be...

Giftcertificates.com: Reliable and well organized

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 04:52:09 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I originally ordered from GiftCertificates.com because they were running a special for $10 off a $25 gift certificate. I knew I could get one and then go to the after-Christmas sales and really rake it in. Between their several $10 off codes and super...

RedEnvelope: Nice job, redenvelope

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 04:45:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - One of my favorite pastimes (before I found Epinions) was to scour the web looking for coupons and good deals. Around Christmastime I found a $10 coupon for a site called RedEnvelope, an online gift store. I placed an order for my baby, and was very...

On line pet supplies: A great value!

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 04:39:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - If you have pets, spend no more at the brick and mortar stores! There are at least 4 online pet stores dying to get your money.

I have 6 dogs, 4 cats, and a Cockatoo. We need a lot of pet food, toys, and treats. We were spending almost $100...

Worked for us.

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 04:21:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mareneli - I think one of the problems with diapers is that they are not an item that fit all babies the same. I say this because I am surprised to see that this item is only recommended 30% of the time (at this writing) because these diapers worked fine for...
