I saw a commercial for this toy and said to myself "I HAVE to get that! If not for my daughter, then for me." Basically,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~413056863876 Thu, 3 Jan 2008 00:27:40 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_413056863876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411851001476?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - This past weekend, my husband and I decided to divide and conquor with respect to our children's movie time. My 11-year old was excited to see "The Golden Compass" and my 3-year old was determined to see "Alvin and the Chipmunks". So, he took my eldest... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411851001476 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 01:41:16 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411851001476?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_411849756292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - Growing up, I loved reading Carolyn Keane's adventures about a young woman, the daughter of a prominent lawyer, who used her own cunning and desire to help to crack cases. Many times, she faced very real danger. But, Ms. Keane's Nancy Drew had a sense... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411849756292 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 01:19:44 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411849756292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_409230085764?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - My little girl found this at our most recent trip to the local library and I'm so glad she did. "What Do You Do When A Monster Says Boo?" is not only funny, but it's a guidebook for older children to deal with younger siblings. It's also great,... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~409230085764 Mon, 3 Dec 2007 06:11:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_409230085764?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_409228643972?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - Alan Jardine, founding member of The Beach Boys, has taken the Kingston Trio song that he had convinced Beach Boys frontman, Brian Wilson, to cover and has re-presented it as a children's story. Specifically, a pirate adventure somewhere 'around... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~409228643972 Mon, 3 Dec 2007 05:50:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_409228643972?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_408573742724?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - Candy Land is TIMELESS!! I have fond memories of playing this with my parents, grandparents and friends. Now, I get to share that experience with my own little girl. My own board game had long since found its way to the recycling center, but my... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408573742724 Mon, 26 Nov 2007 13:34:26 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408573742724?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_408523083396?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - I had absolutely no intention of seeing "The Bee Movie" when it came to theaters. Even with over a year's worth of hype, it held no real appeal for me. I believe that has more to do with the fact that I am not now, nor have I ever been a fan of Jerry... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~408523083396 Sun, 25 Nov 2007 21:18:35 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_408523083396?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406071381636?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - We missed this when it was in the theater and I have this really annoying habit of not wanting to buy anything that I haven't already seen, so our first encounter with this film was just this past Friday, when I brought it home on loan from our local... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406071381636 Sun, 21 Oct 2007 11:16:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406071381636?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405797899908?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - I got this book as part of one of those "3 for 2" deals at my local Borders. I hadn't really heard of this novel before seeing it on the shelf, but it was a major award winner, so I figured, "give it a try." Bel Canto is set in non-specific Central... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405797899908 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 14:15:29 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405797899908?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405793836676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - I take a great deal of stock in a recommendation from Oprah Winfrey, so when A Map of the World popped up on her reading list, I made it a point to at least attempt to read it. Of course, it took me quite a while to get around to it, as I just... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405793836676 Wed, 17 Oct 2007 13:21:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405793836676?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404436848260?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - Forget flowers, chocolates and sappy sentimental cards. When I was down in the dumps about being the only family member (outside of my three-year old) that didn't have a camera, but I was the one that tried to use the camera most often, my husband came... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404436848260 Sat, 29 Sep 2007 22:53:33 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_404436848260?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404285787780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - I suppose if one had to describe Coupling succinctly, it could be said that: "it's Friends, but for a more adult audience." My husband and I first discovered Coupling via our public television station's British Comedy Saturday lineup. I spent most of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404285787780 Thu, 27 Sep 2007 20:53:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_404285787780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403446468228?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - The first "horror" novel I ever read was Stephen King's Firestarter (I may have been 9 or 10). From then on, anything with his name on it, I snatched up and devoured like a starved animal. When I heard that Stephen King also published under the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403446468228 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:02:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403446468228?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_403444764292?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - I have been a dedicated user of the Mr. Clean product line for years, but when Proctor & Gamble came out with this "Magic Eraser", I had to raise my eyebrow----a lot! How could that itty-bitty thing hold up against what my family could possibly throw at... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~403444764292 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 17:36:10 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_403444764292?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401484123780?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - I am a native Marylander and for the longest time, I felt I had to travel to Virginia, the Carolinas or even my in-laws place on the Gulf Coast of Florida to find a nice beach that wasn't a tourist trap. I was so glad to learn this summer that there was... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401484123780 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 21:44:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_401484123780?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401481174660?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - I suppose I should start out by saying that, with the exception of a few years in Essex, Maryland and three years in Southwestern New Jersey, Washington County, Maryland (Hagerstown, in particular) has been "home". While it still has plenty of... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401481174660 Thu, 23 Aug 2007 20:52:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_401481174660?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401109782148?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - In an odd move for me, I did not run out and buy this book as soon as Oprah announced it as her summer read of choice. At the time, I was hip-deep in mandatory college reading and had no leisure time for pleasure reading. It was years later, when I... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401109782148 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 18:29:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_401109782148?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_401107226244?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - The screenwriter for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix had a VERY difficult job: to convert an 870-page tome, chock full of JK Rowling's brilliant characters, her suspenseful plot-twists-----all the things that make Harry Potter the new legend... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~401107226244 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 18:03:45 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_401107226244?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400926477956?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - We bought these for my daughter's Christmas last year (she's 3 now), thinking that it would be a good way to teach her the alphabet. She already knew the ABC song, so we were hoping she'd learn to match the letter with what it actually looks like... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~400926477956 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 12:00:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_400926477956?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_400744681092?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pixelfaler - An elderly, deeply religious, friend of mine ordered The Bean Trees several years ago from the church publishing company. Upon completion, she denounced the book as "not something the Church should be putting out." Well, I had to read it after that!
