Tue, 5 Feb 2008 03:40:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - My first experience with Books From the Hearth was when I ordered a personalized Disney book through another website. I had no idea at the time that they were a third-party and that the book would actually be coming from Books From the...

Old Macdonald's Barn is a Board Book!

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 12:42:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - The last time Kid visited Grandma's house he came home with a souvenir. Lucky for us, it wasn't too big, didn't make noise, and was educational! It was Old Macdonald's Barn Mini-House Board Book. This isn't your traditional book. It's a...

Thu, 17 Jan 2008 10:36:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Kid is big into his Wheel
Pal vehicles right now, so we let family members know that he would love anything to do with them for Christmas. We were right; his aunt and...

Take, but don't Toss these Double Duty Plates

Thu, 10 Jan 2008 17:03:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - When Kid started wanting to eat right at the table with us, as opposed to right off of his booster tray, I knew it was time for some plates. This may sound silly; why couldn't he eat off of the same plates as us? The answer is that he could and now, he...

I’m a hopeless Diet Coke addict!

Mon, 7 Jan 2008 11:35:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Some people drink coffee in the morning. Others drink juice. Me, I drink Diet Coke. I know, I know…you probably find that gross and unhealthy, but please don’t tell me to stop. At this point in my life, I cannot. Perhaps a 2009 resolution…...

Craig Blacklock - Lake Superior 2008 Calendar: Once again, Craig Blacklock makes me homesick with his 2008 Lake Superior Calendar

Sun, 6 Jan 2008 16:58:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Craig Blacklock’s Lake Superior Calendar is an annual Christmas gift for me, even if I have to give it to myself. I grew upon the shores of the lake and I miss seeing it daily, so this is the next best thing. There is nothing particularly...

Sun, 6 Jan 2008 13:07:03 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I was introduced to TIGI products by my longtime friend and stylist who knows that I am always on the lookout for new products to tame my thick, curly hair. TIGI has a few different product lines, including the well known Bed Head...

For my budding builder, the My First Lego Duplo Set

Sat, 5 Jan 2008 00:57:03 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Kid has always loved to stack and sort the various block sets that he has. I guess buying Lego products never really occurred to me until we were browsing the toys in Target one day and I noticed that the My First Lego Duplo Set has an age range...

I am Woman and I sweat, but with Degree, I don’t stink or stain!

Fri, 4 Jan 2008 19:37:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I’m extremely happy that sometime in the last decade, manufacturers of deodorant and other personal care items seem to have realized that women sweat just like men. May not be pretty, but it happens. I happen to have inherited overactive sweat glands...

Nanny Diaries makes a nice transfer to the screen

Fri, 4 Jan 2008 19:00:16 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Awhile back, after listening to the audio book of N
anny
Diaries, I was glad that I had chosen that version over the traditional written version. The story lacked a true plot and I felt that it would have been an...

A staple toy in our household - Fisher-Price Brilliant Basics Baby's First Blocks

Fri, 4 Jan 2008 13:29:14 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - We got these blocks when Kid was about 7 months old. Up until this past Christmas when he received all sorts of new toys, I cannot honestly remember a day when our Fisher-Price Blocks were not used or at least strewn about the room. The...

Fri, 4 Jan 2008 12:15:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I have no idea when or how Kid received his Splash! Peter Rabbit bath book. But ever since we discovered it in his closet, it's been a favorite bath companion. Splash! Peter Rabbit is a padded plastic bath book that is from the Peter...

House of Doolittle Desk Pad Calendar keeps me organized at work

Fri, 4 Jan 2008 11:13:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - In an age where schedules and appointments are usually made and kept via computer or other electronic means, I still like to write things down. Doing so somehow makes things "stick" better in my head. That's why in addition to my Outlook calendar, the...

The Pampered Chef Spoon Rest minimizes the mess!

Thu, 3 Jan 2008 17:56:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I believe it was about 5 years ago now that I hosted a Pampered Chef party. My guests pretended to have such fat wallets that I ended up with a ton of host freebie money. I don't know the exact scale, but I was awarded with a percentage of the...

Not only Superbad but painful to watch

Thu, 3 Jan 2008 11:58:30 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Superbad is a film about Evan and Seth, 2 guys who have been best friends since they were 8 and who are about to celebrate their high school graduation. Interestingly enough, in addition to Judd Apatow, it was written and produced by Evan Goldberg...

HUGS always make me smile!

Wed, 2 Jan 2008 12:54:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I’m a bit of a chocoholic. I’m cutting back on my other vice, Diet Coke, for the New Year, but I cannot give up my chocolate. Besides Macy’s Frango mints, which get pricey, I typically enjoy Hershey’s Hugs the most. Hugs came to be in...

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Lucas...

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:13:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I think there were several taglines used to promote Lucas, but my favorite was “There’s a little bit of Lucas in us all.” Based on the life of a 14-year-old boy, this movie seems to have been lost in the crowd of coming-of-age movies...

Cranium...WOW, a game that's fun even with people who aren't!

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 02:22:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Having enjoyed the original Cranium as a party game for a couple of years now, I was excited to see the new version, entitled Cranium WOW. Essentially, instead of just putting out additional card packs to increase the longevity of the...

Flakes: Flakes! Cereal, not snow or dandruff....

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 17:48:23 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I hate Comcast, so I'm not sure why I pay them to watch On Demand movies. But that is how I came across Flakes. IFC Entertainment (Boys Don't Cry, My Big Fat Greek Wedding) and Comcast teamed up to provide IFC movies to Comcast viewers at the same...

Why on earth did I think I needed a matching Barnyard Hamper?

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 17:07:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Before Kid was born, I wanted to create the perfect nursery. I started with the Ba
rnyard
6 piece bedding set and accessorized from there. This Barnyard...

Fisher-Price See 'n Say - an old favorite

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:47:15 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I remember the pull string See 'n Say toys from my childhood. I loved mine, so when I saw a new and improved version from Fisher Price, I picked one up for Kid's first birthday back in April. There are a few differences between this new...

Enjoyable-but-tries-to-do-too-much Pie: Waitress

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 19:20:50 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I love “girl power” movies. I love romantic comedies. I love Keri Russell (I watched Felicity religiously during college). So when I sat down to watch Waitress, I just assumed that I would love it. But after mulling over the experience I can only...

Don't let the name fool you. These aren't Little Darlings!

Thu, 27 Dec 2007 10:17:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - I first saw Little Darlings about 15 years after it was released and immediately put it at the top of my list for chick flicks. The film title makes a good-natured mockery of the idea that girls, particularly girls who attend summer camps, are...

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 14:35:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Two weeks ago, at our extended family Christmas gathering, Kid was entered into the children's dice game exchange. I thought nothing would please him more than being able to throw the dice as they were passed around, but when he eventually opened the...

Juno is an unlikely but very likable heroine

Wed, 26 Dec 2007 13:10:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mjtriplett - Living in toddlerville means less time to visit the theater. So, when my husband and I see a movie, it is imperative that we choose a good one. We treated ourselves to Juno this past holiday weekend and I’m happy to report that it far exceeded...
