We love this chair!

Thu, 26 Apr 2001 15:48:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author syork - We bought this chair as a replacement for our firstborn's original high chair after it had so many recalls it wasn't worth using. At the time we really didn't know what features we did or did not want, but as a happy accident choosing the Evenflo Phases...

Mon, 22 May 2000 17:14:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author syork - My family first became aware of "Dinosaur" when its teaser preview was shown before "Toy Story 2" in theatres. The animation was jaw-dropping, and we were instantly hooked. My children counted the days until its release, and finally...

Well written... but did it need to be at all?

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author syork - _Vinegar Hill_ was given to me as a Christmas gift by my mother in law. She is an enormous fan of Oprah Winfrey and she knows one of my hobbies is reading, so I suppose she decided to do two good deeds with one effort. But oh, I wish she hadn't.

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author syork - We have all seen the commercials - the magical, shining Play Place, the fresh, hot food, the family bonding and the ever present Ronald McDonald. They look wonderful; even I'm sparkly-eyed after watching them. Who could resist taking their children,...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author syork - About a year ago, my younger son, Aidan, spied Blue's Playhouse from across the store... literally. We no sooner stepped through the sliding doors when his eyes locked on the familiar yellow house with the red roof and he screamed, "Blue's...

On our Bad List.

Wed, 2 Feb 2000 17:00:12 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author syork - First USA offers some amazing deals. Low interest rates, balance transfer checks, and ATM pin numbers are just a few of the ones which got our attention. But be careful, signing a contract with First USA is like making a deal with the devil.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author syork - We rented "Mystery Men" this past weekend, and after all the negative reviews I'd heard and read, I was pleasantly surprised. "Mystery Men" is quite funny and entertaining.

Wed, 12 Jan 2000 16:18:45 GMT

rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author syork - In a time where most television is of questionable quality, Nick Jr. is one bright exception. It's by far the best thing on in the morning!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author syork - My son Aidan, age 2, loves the Teletubbies. The reasons why escape me, but I see no harm in letting him enjoy the docile, roly-poly critters. They sing, dance, give hugs, and generally spread warm fuzzies, and they've even taught my son "Twinkle...
