rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - Well, it is tough to know which tool is the best, but the Milwaukee Magnum Hammer Drill is up there in the top 3. I previously wrote about the Porter Cable finishing nailer (Bad Boy of the Tool Box), that would take one of the other two positions. The...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - If you're looking for a great book to segue from early simply written baby books to toddler books (stories that are still simple with more depth), this is an excellent choice!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - Was that a crack of lightning I just heard? Why no! It was the sound of my hair standing straight up. Well, slap me down and call me Sally! We're going to be PARENTS! I could see my husband's hair falling out at ten strands per minute. The room was...

Sun, 12 Aug 2001 17:22:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - Art Imitates Song! This pop up book is one of the most detailed I have ever seen. It is a magnificent example of sculptural paper engineering, but extremely fragile.

Fact: Did you know that all pop up books are put together by hand? That's...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - I had never heard of the Freddy Jones Band, until one day my husband came home and said "there is a cd we've got to get."

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - Okay, first of all, I have to admit that I am truly shocked that this stroller is $185 retail! I can hardly believe this, but then I have been known to suffer from sticker shock quite easily. I bought this stroller at my neighbor's yard sale in new...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - There are very few items that we have actually purchased to assist us in our parenting adventure. This is one of those items.

Fri, 29 Jun 2001 09:35:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - If you do any kind of baking, then you can identify with the aggravation of a mixer that breaks in the middle of mixing up a batch of stiff dough. Six, yes I said six years ago this happened to me for the last time.

I originally had a Black...

Spy T.V.--Why T.V.? I thought I was watching FOX!

Wed, 27 Jun 2001 09:35:26 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - Last night was the premier of Spy T.V.. I found it to be disturbing for some of the segments, some were just okay, and one was fairly amusing. NBC has introduced a perverse twist of Candid Camera and Real T.V.. They need to hire a new group of writers...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - Okay, first of all, I want all of you readers out there to know one thing. A finishing nailer was my fantasy.

Wed, 30 May 2001 08:50:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - I am rewriting this review and re-posting it because the first version was immediately shot down to the depths of the "SH" category.

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - There is so much research today that is trying to prove that children become smarter through synthetic brain stimulation, in addition to parental attention.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - This is a tough wheelbarrow! The poly bucket makes it lightweight and easy to use. It is the epitome of high quality, sturdy construction. I guess that is because it is made in Pennsylvania. I expect that I will get many good years out of this...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - This is an excellent book for children. It is durable and fun for even the smallest children. It covers concepts of opposites, counting, feelings, shapes and colors, and action words. Children love peeking below the flaps and seeing the "surprises"...

Fri, 25 May 2001 08:31:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - This is an inexpensive, versatile game. It is small enough to bring anywhere and be played many different ways.

Wed, 23 May 2001 19:01:29 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author tammyinmiami - This is a visually cute toy. However, it lacks durability and ease of use. My daughter received this for her second birthday.
