Real Simpsons Actions

Fri, 25 Jun 2004 22:50:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - I rented this game, Simpsons Hit & Run, because my 6 year old son and I love GameCube and Simpsons. We hoped it wouldn't be a rip-off game, like so many are, where the characters in the game aren't narrated by the real actors, and the gameplay is loosely...

Messy Messy Fun

Mon, 12 Jan 2004 21:36:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - While Christmas shopping for my 5 year old son, I came across Crayola Sand Art kit. It's basically these pre-printed pictures, like a sandcastle, a butterfly, a fish. You get 6 of them. And they are like big stickers. You peel off one piece at a time,...

My 5 Year Old Loves This!

Mon, 2 Jun 2003 00:31:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - I love Playstation. I know as a mom I shouldn't be indulging, but I do. And my 5 year old son has a very minimal interest in the games I play. But when it comes to games for his age, he loves it. Trouble is, I can't find very many.

So when I...

Fun for A While

Mon, 2 Jun 2003 00:18:01 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My son and I were looking for a new Leap Pad book when we noticed these new puzzles. They work the same way as the regular books. You lay it flat in the "reader" and press the green Go button. They have games and they talk and sing, but there's a bonus...

Racing Excitement

Sun, 25 May 2003 22:24:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My husband and I grew up playing with hot wheels, so we both agreed that our son's 5th birthday was the perfect age to get him a hot wheels race track starter set.

Now he already has about 30 hot wheels (and other brand) cars, but a track was...

Looks Better Than it is.

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 00:48:25 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My son has asked for this game at least 20 times because he loves his Mr. Potato head, and loves electronic games. This seems to be a mixture of the two, and what could be better. So one day it was on sale buy 1 get 1 free with tons of other electronic...

I Can't Believe They Still Make This!

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 00:27:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - Pass the Pigs! That's what I, a mature mother of a four year old yelled last night while shopping for Christmas presents. I couldn't believe, my favorite "game you never knew you needed until you got it."

This great game consists of a small black...

The Best Fitting Shoe

Thu, 19 Dec 2002 00:25:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My last pair of sneakers were Skechers, but I didn't even know they make this kind of shoe. I'd describe it best as a boot without the constriction around the ankle.

They're cut like a regular oxford type shoe would be. They have a very soft leather...

A 99 cent Squirt Bottle Could Have Done the Trick

Thu, 22 Nov 2001 04:20:03 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My local Safeway grocery store decides to put huge piles of toys on sale in the middle of their store. My 3 year old son loves anything Hot Wheels, so this Car Wash toy caught his eye right away. It looked like alot of fun, and with my club card, I saved...

I've Never Had So Much Educational Fun!

Mon, 29 Oct 2001 23:16:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - If your child's starting to recognize letters and numbers, then this is the game that will give them many great ways to learn.

This toy was originally purchased for my son's 3rd birthday. I chose it for the clarity the female voice has, as...

It Looked Like Fun...

Mon, 29 Oct 2001 22:54:33 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My three year old son loves anything Play-Doh. He also loves, as three year olds do, anything with cats & dogs. So cutting play-doh hair off a plastic dog and cat was right up his alley.

This set contains what look like 2 big thimbles that,...

I Hate These!

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 01:14:54 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - I send my husband to the store to get some non-drowsy Sudafed for my cold, and he brings back Day Quil Liqui-Caps. "But they're non-drowsy" is all he could say.

But I've seen the ad on TV. The daytime sniffling, sneezing, coughing...

The Many Faces of Mr. Potato Head

Sat, 14 Oct 2000 00:52:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My dad tells me stories about when he was little and Mr. Potato head was razor sharp skewer eyes nose and mouth that you jab into a real potato. Mr. Potato head, you've come a long way. And now he's even more famous because of Toy Story 1 & 2.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - Okay, so the other day I was at Toys R Us buying diapers and I had this urge to buy my now two and a half year old son a gift. Nothing too fancy, And nothing TOO EXPENSIVE! So what can I get?

Tue, 12 Sep 2000 00:22:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My cat Tommy had to go to the hospital for an emergency operation because his bowels were obstructed. This was about two and a half years ago, and we've been using this formula ever since.

I know it's called Urinary Tract formula, but I guess...

Great for Stuffy Noses!

Sun, 3 Sep 2000 23:25:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - Sometimes I just get a stuffy nose. Maybe because I was out in the wind, maybe because I'm stuck in a stuffy office all day. I don't really know. But I do know it's annoying. And I also know that Sudafed is THE BEST at relieving stuffy noses.

Oh, Is this Movie Awful!

Sun, 20 Aug 2000 22:40:55 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - I have a two year old, and it's very hard for me to find 2 free hours to watch a movie. And I'm still kicking myself in the a*s for wasting it on "The Haunting".

Here's the basic plot. You can tell this movie didn't make very much of...

Three in One!

Thu, 27 Jul 2000 23:01:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - When I get a cold, I really get it. They can last for 7-10 days of suffering, and I need relief. Believe me, I've tried every product on the market, and I am now faithful to Sudafed Severe Cold Formula.

It seems like colds come in phases for...

A Toothache Lifesaver

Thu, 27 Jul 2000 22:37:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - If you've ever had a really bad pounding toothache, you know nothing will truly stop the pain except a trip to the dentist! But once you're done there, you're going to have a different kind of pain. Hopefully not as bad, but it will still be there with...

I Had To Try It

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 00:19:21 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - Have you ever walked down the grocery aisle and seen a product so strange, you had to try it? Well, Cat Sip is one of those products for me.

Despite the stereotype of cats drinking milk, we all know that it's not good for their digestive...

More Appealing to Toddlers

Wed, 26 Jul 2000 00:05:58 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - My cats have never liked Pounce. However, my 2 year old screams and cries if you take the bottle away from him. And the worst part is he tries to eat them. The "fun" canister and the bright cartoon picture of the cat on them make them look like...

Works Great at a Good Price!

Tue, 25 Jul 2000 23:44:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - To be honest, I first tried Scoop Away because of the price. I've paid up to $8 for 14 lbs. of clumping litter, and I noticed that this brand has all 3 formulas in 21 lbs. for only $9.50. So I figured it has to be at least as good as all the rest, so I...

Strong & Sturdy

Mon, 17 Jul 2000 00:27:51 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - I never really thought of these as teethers. More like very very useful pieces of plastic that can change your life when you're on a walk or going for a ride.

These links were a lifesaver when I first discovered them. Being a first time...

AWFUL!!!

Fri, 14 Jul 2000 23:30:50 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author savagefamily - It's billed as "The Greatest Thriller of All Time" but I thought it was just plain awful!

Okay, the movie starts out with Bruce Willis and his wife getting ready to go to some fancy awards ceremony. Suddenly, this crazy guy in his...
