Good For Skin and Scars

Tue, 16 Sep 2008 03:39:27 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I have a large scar across my mid thigh, caused by my femur breaking through my skin during a car accident in June. (I was in a head on collision with a drunk driver.) I also have multiple scars down the same leg where an external fixator had been...

More Rocking Than Musical Theater

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:19:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - In true Disney style, Camp Rock delivers the entertainment of High School Musical, but with much better singers. Like High School Musical, this movie was promoted exhaustively, commercials running 6 months before the movie debuted. My girls, 6 and 9,...

Even More Hype, and Less Entertaining

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 17:47:26 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - The hype from Disney was even greater for this movie than the first. Months before it premiered everyone knew what was about, saw the dances and heard the songs. In fact, the first time we watched the movie, my entire family could sing the songs and my...

Elementary School Heaven

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 16:47:46 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - The hype leading up to this movie was unbelievable. My girls, 5 and 8 before this pemiered on the Disney Channel, knew the songs, dances, and characters by the day it debuted. If Disney knows anything, it's how to market. Thankfully, this was a movie...

Not good as vampire movies go

Mon, 15 Sep 2008 07:33:53 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - Premise- Barrow, Alaska is a small town about to enter its phase of, as the title suggests, 30 days of night. People who don't need to be there leave. And those that do have to be there, such as Sheriff Eben Olesen, stay and make the best of it. 30...

No more dry feet

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 07:30:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I ordered this cream online after being in a car accident and being bedridden after multiple surgeries. I was not aware that it is common for skin to grow thicker and then peel off of feet from lack of use. Even though I was in my own bed in my own...

The book is better

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 03:12:47 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - Or rather, any of Jane Austen's books are better. I am a bit of a Jane Austen fan, starting out simply enduring Pride and Prejudice in Honors English Lit in high school to becoming a true fan after reading Emma and Sense and Sensibility in college. So...

Great for beginners

Sun, 14 Sep 2008 02:20:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I begin by saying I used to be the worst photographer in the world. My photos always looked horrible, no matter if I used film or digital, and I would take tons of pictures just to get one decent one. With this camera, if you don't miss the picture...

Life Saving Booster

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 17:41:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I bought this seat two years ago when my daughter was 4. The reviews were good, and like most girls that age, my daughter flipped over the princess design. I liked the seat because it converts to a booster when the child grows, it has arm rests...

Good Tracks, But Not Edited Enough

Sat, 5 May 2007 19:44:34 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I bought this CD for the one top 40 song I knew, Lips of An Angel. I read the reviews on Amazon, and decided the edited version would be necessary, as I have a 7-year-old and 5-year-old, and they would be listening to the CD in the car. I guess in...

I Can't Stop Looking At It- UPDATED

Sat, 5 May 2007 19:12:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - One of the cons I listed in the below review was that I was uncertain how long a plasma would last. I have since learned the answer- a few weeks after the warranty expires. Fortunately, Circuit City offers the opportunity to purchase an extended...

Must Have Under Good Foundation

Sat, 5 May 2007 17:24:43 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I absolutely love this product. I have tried many other brands of primer underneath my foundation, and have found that most either make my face greasy, or leave my pores looking enlarged. And at 39 years old, my skin is just beginning to show signs of...

For Older Girls Only

Mon, 27 Dec 2004 01:17:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - My two girls, 3 and 5, got these for Christmas and love them quite a bit more than I do. The limo isn't actually a limo, as my five-year old told me, it's just a big car. It seats five, two in the front, with a shifter and console in the center, and...

Strawberry Shortcake Berry Happy Home

Thu, 26 Feb 2004 19:07:54 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - This was one of the multitude of presents Santa brought for my four year old for Christmas, and it is one of the few she still plays with. This house is really cute, it looks like a big strawberry, and opens to the play area inside. It comes with a...

Sweet Sounds Dollhouse provides hours of entertainment.

Thu, 26 Feb 2004 18:46:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - This is without a doubt one of the best presents Santa brought for my two girls, four years old and two years old. Both of my girls absolutely love it, and two months later, still play it with it EVERY day. They actually play with it together, which is...

INT HIS CASE, THE BIGGEST IS ALSO THE BEST

Mon, 8 Apr 2002 01:33:36 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I began researching convertible car seats when baby turned five months because of how fast she was growing. The current seat was fine, the traditional infant carrier in the base, but only went up to 29 inches and 22 pounds. I researched quite...

Great room organizer

Sat, 16 Feb 2002 12:58:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I bought this toy box so that I could attempt to organize the bazillion toys in my little girl's play room. She was 18 months at the time and already had more toys than the law allows.

I liked this toy box primarily because it was so HUGE. It...

Stair necessity

Fri, 15 Feb 2002 16:55:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - Being the queen of research, I once again researched extensively when it was time for a gate to block off the stairs. Although my little girl doesn't actually SLEEP in her room upstairs, she does play in it and in the toy room up there. (They are the...

Babyproofing at it's best.

Fri, 15 Feb 2002 16:33:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I bought this gate because it is the only one on the market that could block off the space I needed it to. I have an open living room/breakfast area, with a stone and brick fireplace in the living room. At the point at which the living room turns into...

Infant to toddler but not too soothing.

Thu, 14 Feb 2002 18:01:58 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I bought this rocker as an addition to the bouncy seat my sister had gotten for me. The bouncy seat was the type that was primarily in a lay down position, even when adjusted to the slight tilt the seat offered. So I figured I would buy a seat that...

KBtoys.com: Avoid the hassle of shopping.

Sat, 9 Feb 2002 00:30:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I ordered about 85% of the toys for my children at this store on-line for Christmas, and it was the easiest shopping experience.

I am a shopper, I love to shop. I go out the day after Thanksgiving religiously every year to begin the Christmas...

Must have crib toy.

Sat, 9 Feb 2002 00:18:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I bought this when I had my second child because the baby on the commercial really seemed to enjoy it. My baby loves this aquarium as well.

I would put her in her crib a little drowsy when she was barely a month old, with one of the songs...

Great for some ages.

Fri, 8 Feb 2002 21:39:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - My sister bought my 2 1/2 year old this for Christmas. I had bought the same for her son when he was 2, and my daughter loved playing with his.

This easel has many fine features. It actually is two separate easels that fold out, with a table...

Great for hours of fun.

Fri, 8 Feb 2002 17:54:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - My 2/1/2 year old got this for Christmas from her grandmother and has not been able to stop playing with it. She plays with it everyday. I know she is under the 3 year old suggested age, but has loved Barbies since she turned 2.

Although I...

Nice idea that needs work.

Fri, 8 Feb 2002 17:32:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author sophiasmom - I received this as a gift when I was pregnant with my first child. At the time, it was the only one like it on the market.

This is a good idea for a product if you are a little obsessive, as I was with my first. I wanted to be able to see...
