Doesn't hold up to a toddler

Sat, 6 May 2000 16:01:37 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I have a 15 month old and it's amazing how quick she can make a spot on the carpet. Nothing like broccoli ground into the carpet :-)

Rather than continuing to rent a steam cleaner I thought I'd buy the Spot Lifter to keep on top of spots and...

Samsung SC-A21 8mm Analog Camcorder: Get's the job done!

Sat, 6 May 2000 15:45:33 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - Our daughter recently turned one year old and I was distressed that her infancy and toddlerhood were slipping away uncaptured. :-(

Family members had gotten her on tape a few times, but she was starting to really blossom and I felt sad at not...

Back to Basics: These cups stack up!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 04:37:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - We had heard nesting toys were good for kids. We found these at Walmart for around $3-4. Can't go wrong with that price! These say for 9 months up but I believe my daughter was 6 months when we first bought them.

Let me tell you a little about...

MUCH better than Netzero!!

Wed, 26 Jan 2000 04:09:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - In an effort to reduce my AOL bill by using BYOA, I wanted to use a free ISP. The only one I knew was Netzero and I used it for awhile. But then I heard about Bluelight (brought to you by Kmart and Yahoo) and I like it MUCH better!! Let me tell you...

Bulky Baby Bundle

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 16:39:18 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I got an OTSBH when I heard from my online friends how great they are. I found it very awkward to try and position my daughter. The sling has padded rails which I feel add too much bulk. It also makes it less breathable in the summer time. I also didn't...

Saves $$ over bottled!

Tue, 25 Jan 2000 16:22:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - When my family moved from the country to the city, we got an unpleasant surprise in the city water. It tasted awful! I was pregnant and of course wanted to drink lots of water.

We started buying bottled water in the gallon jugs. It cost around .60...

Worked miracles..but not on diaper rash!

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 21:14:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I started off with a sample of this powder I'd received in a sample pack at my diaper shower. One day my baby had a bit of a red bum and I sprinkled this powder on it and it was back to beautiful again!

Anyway, this powder is actually corn...

OK..Playskool better.

Mon, 24 Jan 2000 03:05:33 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - This product has worked fairly well for us. The price was right since I only paid $2 at a yard sale. I also see them all the time at consignment shops for around $10 so if I were you I wouldn't pay full price.

Anyway, we bought this when my...

I've tried them all-this one ranks with the best!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 16:44:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I started pumping when my daughter was 10 days old. She had an improper suck and wasn't latching properly which dropped my supply to zilch. We had to supplement from then on and I pumped and pumped and pumped. I originally started with a Medela Classic,...

Mercata: Mercata SAVED me $$$

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 06:08:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - First I want to say this review is NOT jewelry related. Mercata sells a little of everything so I’m not sure why it’s just listed in this category.

Anyway, a few months ago I desperately needed a new car seat for my daughter as she had...

AOL Financial Message Boards: Tightwads Unite!

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 05:11:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - The AOL Tightwads (keyword: tightwads) keeps me coming back day after day. It's really the only reason I stay on AOL. It's really a sense of community!

This is a refreshing change from the earning/investment side of financial message boards...

Can they get ANY better?

Sun, 23 Jan 2000 03:10:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I *love* the Dixie Chicks. They are my family's (including my one year old daughter's) absolute favorite group! My daughter instantly starts dancing when she hears their songs (of course we listen to them non stop in the car, maybe that's the connection...

NetZero: A lot of room for improvement!

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 20:35:18 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - Ok it's free right? Well in one way yes. But you are looking at advertisements so you are paying a "price" just not cash. So therefore I 'am' a customer.

First off, there are very limited access numbers. But I must say I rarely have...

94 SE - NIGHTMARE!

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 19:52:13 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - Where do I start? Just typing this my blood is boiling. I bought this car in 1994 new as my first car. I was 18 years old. I really love the way the car drove and it felt sporty.

:: sigh :: it was ok the first 36k miles. Unfortunately I...

TV Shows: Regis makes it!

Sat, 22 Jan 2000 04:07:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I definitely *was* addicted to this show. The whole hook to me is Regis and his great poker face. He really knows how to plant doubt in the contestant's mind..making them question their every answer.

I haven't seen much of the other new shows,...

So many uses!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 19:06:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - Our toaster bit the dust and we decided to try a toaster oven. This one was relatively inexpensive (I think $30)

It works for everything! I can't imagine why you'd need a more expensive one.

It claims to be a 4 slice oven though...

Ryder Systems: Cheaper? NOT if you run into a snag!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 18:28:00 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - Well..here was our plan:

Load up moving truck Tuesday night (had help lined up). Then we could clean and shampoo carpets and touch up paint. Wednesday when DH gets home from work we just had to leave! Could get to destination by around 7pm and...

I've paid off 35k debt!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 16:42:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - Dave Ramsey is the BEST financial author around. He also does a daily radio show (www.daveramsey.com to see if it is broadcast to your area or listen on the web)

Anyway, Dave's basic message is to get rid of debt. He also helps you analyze...

Toilet Lock: No hurt fingers!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 06:22:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - My daughter is fascinated with the toilet. In our new apartment, our toilet has a very heavy seat. Not only does my daughter open the toilet to have *fun* splashing and attempting to flush mommy's make-up, she also slams the lid down on her fingers which...

No Chemistry!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 05:49:27 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I *really* wanted to like this movie. I love Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts and couldn't wait to rent it.

I don't feel this movie had enough script between the two stars. The scenes where they were "falling in love" mostly contained...

A lifesaver!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 05:21:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - We had MAJOR problems nursing. Combine an improper suck and very flat nipples and you get majorly damaged sore nipples.

We went to an IBCLC and she gave me the shield to help with the latching on and to give my nipples time to heal while we...

Fixed her sucking problem!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 05:12:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - When my daughter didn't gain weight and cried constantly I knew something was wrong. 10 days after she was born I developed mastitis.

We went to an IBCLC (lactation consultant) who assessed us and realized my daughter had a confused suck. She...

My baby loves it!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 04:57:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - Such a simple product, yet SO versatile!

You see all these different strange carrier contraptions on the market. Very awkward I say. I mean, let's face it, you've already got to mess with the diaper bag, get the baby in and out of the car...

Doesn't stack up in my book!

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 04:40:12 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I have heard raves and raves on these diapers. There are some definite pluses. The leg binding is great, very stretchy yet conforming. But I find they don't live up to all their claims.

1) Size. I don't know about high end of the range, but...

Major pro and a few cons

Fri, 21 Jan 2000 04:32:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mommynew - I started using Kushie Classics when my daughter was a few months old. At the time I couldn't get a good fit with her small waist and big thighs. I decided to try again with the toddler size because I really like the diaper.

First the pros:...
