Nature girl Ally’s family is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~476066385540 Fri, 3 Jul 2009 00:39:38 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_476066385540?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434847714948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - I was SO excited to find the Calico Critters Mango Monkey Brother and Sister at the store a while back! My little one LOVES monkeys! Most of the Calico Critters animals are forest (foxes, mice, beavers), or domestic (cats, dogs, bunnies), animals... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434847714948 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 12:18:52 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434847714948?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434790239876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - I’ve gone through lots of garden gloves. When we got our first house, I actually used old ski gloves. They were tough (I could even pull up wild strawberry bushes without getting poked!), but they were way too heavy duty for summer! (And our... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434790239876 Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:38:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434790239876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434668342916?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - We have a bunch of these tubs! I got them from a gardening store, but don&#146t use them for gardening. We use them to hold and carry toys! The big ones (about 10.5 gallons), hold collections of blocks, stuffed animals (we have way too many!), and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434668342916 Sun, 22 Jun 2008 23:23:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434668342916?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434455219844?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - I don’t have a green thumb, but for years I’ve wanted to try vegetable gardening. A few years ago I bought this bed and had Hubby put it together. (I nailed on the copper caps for the end posts myself.) He managed to mess it up; it wasn’t as pretty as... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434455219844 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:26:37 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434455219844?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434337975940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - What is Animusic? What its name implies: computer animated music. It&#146s really cool. Each and every note is animated somehow--via their proprietary software. This makes it not only cool to listen to (CDs of the music are available), but way cool... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~434337975940 Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:52:24 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_434337975940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_434215751300?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - My daughter’s teacher read this to the class in preschool. My daughter thought she wouldn’t like it, but she LOVED it! We even brought it home for a few days. We have even read it so many times (I bought a copy), that she has most of it memorized!

I still like it, even though I cut my own hair, don’t color it, and don’t do ritzy salons!

They attached directly to all the different pumps I used, from the now discontinued Double Ease, to a hand pump, to a Lactina rental (all Medela products). These bottles are much easier for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~433842916996 Sun, 15 Jun 2008 23:49:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_433842916996?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423766494852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - In each book 7 year old Annie and her 8 year old brother Jack go on an adventure in the Magic Tree House, always perched in the top of the highest oak tree in the woods near their home. It has a long rope ladder down to the ground.

I love that she uses organic ingredients as well as whole grains!... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~423688244868 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:55:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_423688244868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_423682805380?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - I Am A Little Kangaroo is a mini book. It has beautiful illustrations and is educational, too. This book is small and narrow, measuring about 6” by 3”. It has a thick front and back cover, but regular (thin) pages.

(That option may not exist in the kit anymore. You can do it all online though.) It came out beautiful! Then I decided to let my daughter use the platter at school, for lunch... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422736858756 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:09:43 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422736858756?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422713921156?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - How we play chess mimics how we act in life? I’m learning this game along with my 7 year old. She LOVES the fact that she can (sometimes) beat her Dad and me. I usually win nowadays, but by complimenting her when she makes a good move (foiled again!),... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422713921156 Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:18:32 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422713921156?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422660050564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - My 7 year old decided she had to have this movie. My 4 year old loves monkeys, so they got it for Valentine’s Day. We’ve only watched it once. So, perhaps it didn’t live up to expectations? Personally, I think they made the baddies too bad.

There’s one monkey in the book who has more of an orange outfit.

It’s been a big hit. Even my 4 year old can do it--if it’s next to something sturdy (like the center island in our kitchen), so she has something to hold onto. But it’s meant and rated for kids ages 5... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~422593072772 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:01:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_422593072772?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_422526094980?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reviewsbymo - It&#146s VERY hard to get brownies to come out right if you leave out half of the ingredients, or even substitute just one crucial ingredient (like using oil instead of margarine or shortening), in an allergen-free recipe!

One of the teachers even reads them to her class. We&#146ve now read every one at school, most at the public library, and are awaiting new releases.

Made by the publisher of Zoobooks, it is for younger kids (ages 2 – 6). I started my older child on Zoobooks at age 5, which turned out to be way too soon.
