Get Hot as a Mutha in Heaven

Wed, 6 Jun 2001 14:43:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - If you love Cajun cuisine, you’ll be right at home in "Heaven" – Heaven on Seven that is. Here you’ll find the hot sauce flows freely, the cheddar jalepeno corn muffins melt in your mouth and the chicken is angry. Nothing here is done on a...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg -

author’s note: My apologies for the title pun if anyone finds it especially high on the cheese factor. I couldn't resist.

Have you seen my imperfections lately?

Fri, 17 Nov 2000 16:46:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - Have you seen my imperfections lately? I haven’t. It’s the oddest phenomenon, and it may start going to my head. Someone may have to smack me before I start strutting. It’s been rather liberating, though, because I haven’t been able to locate...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - This past weekend, my husband and I flocked to Wisconsin for our annual weekend getaway. This year was different however, because we were leaving our 9 month old behind with relatives for our first overnight away from him (he is our first!). Naturally,...

Thu, 28 Sep 2000 01:16:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - Recently, a friend of mine was complaining about the extent of her credit card debt. As she was recently married, I could relate. However, she went on to add that a good chunk of the debt was incurred purchasing a $1500 set of pots and pans. OUCH!...

Warning: Your phone bill may increase!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - Yes, the lost art of talking on the phone for three hours with reckless abandon was rekindled for me when I purchased my Toshiba SG-1000BK 2.4GHz phone. Unfortunately my phone bill suffered. My previous phone was a Panasonic 900MHz – a great...

A GREAT Restaurant Toy!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - My husband and I love to dine out. I come from a long line of avid dining-outers! So, when we had our first child, we really had to rethink how to make our dining experiences as painless as possible, while still keeping our child with us when...

This rattle makes my top ten list

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - If I had to pick my top ten favorite toys for my 7 month old son, this rattle would probably be number 5 or 6. Manufactured by Sassy, this colorful, lightweight rattle does more than just respond to shaking! In fact, this rattle, while marketed for...

Thinking of picking up the guitar?

Tue, 8 Aug 2000 00:28:58 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - If you are a beginning guitar player who’s willing to make a small investment, I’d like to recommend a great guitar. The Seagull S6 Cedar Acoustic is more expensive than some basic beginner guitars, so if you absolutely can’t afford to spend $350.00,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - One Saturday morning three years ago, I received a dreaded phone call: the message was that a dear relative was barely hanging onto life and when could my husband and I get there? Well, we were in Chicago and they were in Omaha, so the first thing I did...

It took me this long to try LUVS?

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 15:02:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - As a new parent, I never realized what a diaper connoisseur I would become! Now that I've tried almost every brand available to me, my first choice is LUVS leakguards. My only regret is that I didn't try them sooner.

With every other diaper...

Historical Fiction at its Finest

Sat, 8 Jul 2000 17:30:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - I have never in all of my reading encountered a more beautiful combination of history and fiction than I did with "Vienna Prelude". Bodie Thoene has the remarkable gift of weaving together several sub-plots while staying true to the...

DOWN with UPS

Wed, 28 Jun 2000 15:31:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - I always get a sinking feeling in my stomach when I realize that a great product I've just ordered is going to be delivered via UPS. My mind starts reeling with visions of "sorry we missed you notices" and thoughts of driving 30 miles round...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - After reading Jon Krakauer's firsthand account of the worst Mt. Everest disaster in recent history, I was left feeling like the wind had been knocked out of me. I could not put the book down. As I read the horrific events unfolding before me, I found...

AHHHH, North Park University...beautiful brick buildings covered with ivy, students lazing on the lush green grass by the gazebo, squirrels and birds crossing your path as you walk to class, gazing at fall colors by the tree-covered Chicago...

Prima Pappa is worth the investment

Mon, 26 Jun 2000 01:32:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - My parents purchased this high chair for my 5 month old son two months ago, and we have not been disappointed. As I looked at the sturdy, easy to carry box before we even opened it, I could tell the manufacturer put a lot of care into it. Thinking that...

Evenflo Trendsetter Advantage Travel System: Love the concept, hate the low quality

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 22:25:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - I love the idea of a travel system. An infant car seat that fits into the stroller and is removable when the child is older. It has cup holders, collapses easily and has a large basket at the bottom - and an attractive blue and green plaid pattern. So...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - This toy was given to my son when he was born. I had never heard of this type of toy but was instantly impressed. The toy is a soft stuffed bear that emulates night time nature sounds when it encounters motion. Until I received this bear, I thought...

Possible resource, but use common sense

Fri, 23 Jun 2000 20:43:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author nannersg - When reading reference books on subjects as important as pregnancy, it's very important to know your source. The authors in this case are a B.S.N. and two mothers. With this said, I think one needs to read this book with their common sense always...
