Not your typical cliched space western - and not just for fans of Firefly

Sun, 2 Oct 2005 03:18:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - This review contains a few plot details. To start, just to counter some of the earlier reviews, I see no reason why someone with little to no background with the Firefly movies would not love this film. I probably saw one episode of the series two...

Wow! A truly innovative videocamera

Mon, 4 Jul 2005 17:05:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - We were in the market to replace our mini-VHS-style video camera -- with the transition away from VHS, and the annoyance of having to carry around a separate mini-VHS-cassette to play the videos...not to mention the bulky camera itself, we found we just...

A, E, I, O, U. We're the vowels...we're the glue....

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - I picked this Leapster cartridge up on a whim during a visit to Target one day ($19.99). My six year old daughter was still resisting reading, so I was trying to find something fun and engaging to keep her involved. The recommended age was 4-6, so I...

Fun to watch, but stick to age range if you want some learnin'

Tue, 24 May 2005 16:03:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - UPDATE: Well, almost a year has passed since we got this game and my 3 1/2 year old son is 4 1/2. He's learned his 1+1's and 2+2's and is getting the hang of subtraction too. Though he is still not quite in the age range, he just was level tested for...

Leapster Recharging Station - A Cost Effective Way to Keep Your Leapster Up and Running

Tue, 24 May 2005 15:50:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - I bought the Leapster for my 3 year old son and 6 year old daughter to keep them occupied on a long plane trip. Thankfully, I'd also noticed the Leapster Recharging Station at my local Target ($24.99) prior to investing in any AA batteries. The...

Hooray! Perfectly cooked meat

Mon, 26 Aug 2002 13:19:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - My husband/grill master grew up believing meat wasn't cooked until you pressed on it and no more juice came out. Yuck! I grew up believing medium-rare and juicy was the way to go. When we got married, I had to endure years of over-cooked,...

Versatile mid-sized trucks

Wed, 14 Aug 2002 11:20:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - This truck purchase was the result of my husband changing jobs and losing his company car – a 2000 Ford F-150 extended cab 4x4. We’d hung on to his old truck, a 1996 Dakota 2x4, but it did not have an extended cab, so we had no place to put our two...

A decent general-use camera

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 02:59:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - My husband's Nikon point and shoot broke after 10 years, so we were in the market for something new. My mother had recently purchased an Olympus and loved it, so I shopped it around. For the money, it had the best features (including a decent zoom, a...

You must buy this trimmer

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 02:43:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - This trimmer has revolutionized my life. Heretofore I owned a Sears Craftsman trimmer with a cord feeder that constantly jammed. And trying to bump it to advance the feed was a joke...the guard always fell off. This has none of those problems. The...

Not good at all

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 02:38:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - I have been a long time John Grisham fan and have never thought "I could have written this better myself." That changed today. If I had not known better, I would have thought this was written by a first-time author.

In brief summary, this is...

Minutes of fun!

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 02:37:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - I say that somewhat jokingly. Like most babies, my son does not have the best attention span. To get him to sit still for 20 minutes at at time is a wonderful thing...and this product does that in spades.

This toy is a basically a series...

OneStepAhead.com: One of my favorite stores for ideas

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 02:35:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - One Step Ahead carries some of the most innovative toys and baby care products. When I was shopping for both my kids, they often showed products I had not seen anywhere else that my children also loved playing with. Special mobiles, wonderful car seat...

Perfect, if only....

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 02:31:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author megansmommi - The stand up ball blast is a delightfully cute toy for babies just learning to stand and cruise. It consists of a plastic corkscrew ball chute topped with a steering wheel like circle to drop the balls down. A child can set the balls in the top wheel,...
