Dora es Numero Uno!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - In the last few months, Dora the Explorer has quickly taken over first place on my two year old son's list of favorite TV shows. He is so enthralled with the show, that I can almost plan on an hour of time to get my daily chores done in peace while Nick...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twila - A few weeks ago we took a Sunday drive to visit the Mesker Park Zoo in Evansville, Indiana. I have lived all my life within two hours of Evansville, but had never visited the zoo. Since my soon-to-be two year old loves animals, we thought this would be...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - A couple of weeks ago, we decided on a whim to take a trip to the St. Louis Zoo. We live a couple of hours away, but we decided to jump in the car and make the trip. My husband did a quick check of the car while I packed the essentials (a couple of...

Beware of this Child Criminal

Sun, 26 Aug 2001 17:42:16 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twila - I bought this book because I had heard that it was "better than Harry Potter". I decided that I had to read it because it's been a while since I've read a good book and I loved the Harry Potter series. A few chapters into the book, I realized that...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twila - This summer we have been traveling a little more than usual, and as always we are looking for a hotel room at the last minute. My husband has never been a good pre-planner and likes to wait until we "get there" to find a hotel room. Therefore, we...

Epson Stylus Photo 785EPX Ink-jet Printer: Now I can process my own pictures

Sun, 5 Aug 2001 15:37:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - I have to admit that I've only had this printer for a few days, but I've printed at least 100 pictures already so I feel that I can write a fairly accurate review. I had been looking for a good quality printer that would print directly from my digital...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - I have now had my Kodak DC4800 camera for a week, and I'm almost ready to retire my non-digital camera. First, I need to tell you that I'm an avid scrapbooker. It is not unusual for me to take 4-5 rolls of film at a weekend event (ie. car show, church...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - Page after page, I kept reading as the clock steadily ticked away. I was so engaged in reading this book that I did not go to sleep until I finished the entire book, at an hour too late to mention.

This book tells the story of Dawn...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - If you haven't guessed yet, Creating Keepsakes is a magazine that provides its readers with lots of fresh scrapbooking ideas!

It's music time!

Sun, 11 Mar 2001 20:07:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twila - I base most of my opinion on children's TV shows on my son's opinions. This is one of several shows that we watch daily. It's on the Disney channel several times each morning so we usually see it at least once.

Since my son was around 9...

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 03:06:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - Since my baby was 9 months old, he perked up whenever the Blue's Clues theme song played. A little later, at the sound of the first notes he started dancing. Now, he is glued to the TV for thirty minutes every morning.

Brings Back Memories

Mon, 5 Mar 2001 02:50:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twila - Glancing at just the cover of this book brought back memories of playing with kaleidoscopes as a kid. I remember being fascinated by the way the colors merged and changed as I turned the knob. As I flipped through the pages, I became more and more...

Sun, 4 Mar 2001 15:30:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - I received my Kodak Advantix 4700ix camera a couple of years ago for Christmas. I was a little upset because I had asked for and expected a little more expensive camera (I had a nicer one, but it broke). After I took a few rolls of film, I was...

Well worth the wait.

Sat, 3 Feb 2001 18:04:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - After many arguments with my old scanner, I decided to get a new one. My sister had a HP scanner, and her recommendation for a HP printer was the best advice I've ever taken. I decided to look at the HP scanners.

I went to our local office...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - In 1996, my husband and I had the pleasant surprise of being some of the few people to experience Disney Quest's "soft" opening. Disney Quest was not actually open yet, but on a couple of nights before the real opening, they let a select...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author twila - We recently spent a week at Walt Disney World. Throughout our trip we enjoyed the unique Disney hospitality from the CastMembers. None the less, I had a couple of experiences with some CastMembers who did not live up to what I have come to expect out...

Mario Party for Nintendo 64: My husband actually won!

Sat, 30 Dec 2000 21:14:03 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - My husband, who has maybe played 3 video games in his life, beat both me and my sister (who have been playing since the Atari 2600)! Most importantly he liked this game (that obviously doesn't happen much).

Mario Party is basically a board...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - While browsing through the store for a toy one evening, my then nine-month-old son reached out for the Sparkling Symphony Xylophone. We had been looking at several musical toys, but this is the one that caught his eye. We offered several other toys...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author twila - Although I am not into Pokemon, I really had a great time playing this game. In fact, until now I completely steered clear of Pokemon, but I saw this game and decided to try it out. My hobby is scrapbooking. Just as the goal to Pokemon Snap, you...

What an inspiration!

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 15:18:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - I wasn't expecting to be as moved by this book as I was. Like most Christians, I had heard the story of the heroic girl (Cassie Bernall) that lost her life at Columbine because she confessed her faith. I was impressed with her conviction, and I wanted...

Tue, 21 Nov 2000 14:49:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - I haven't had much time to read, but I picked up this book the other day and I loved it. I bought the book before my baby was born (and I had time to read) because I had found a great author Liz Curtis Higgs. Mrs. Higgs is a down-to-earth Christian...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - I know it's a little silly to be excited about a printer, but I just can't help it. I've only had my new HP 970Cse for a couple of weeks. I haven't had time to try out all of the possibilities, but I'm excited to explore them further.

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author twila - Since I live only a couple of hours away from St. Louis, some of our "coolest" field trips in school were to Six Flags. As a kid, I loved going to Six Flags, but when I went a few weeks ago I was extremely disappointed.

My Only Choice

Thu, 14 Sep 2000 11:03:12 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author twila - When my baby was born almost 11 months ago, I thought naively that all diapers were the same. I tried several different name brands, but it didn't take long for me to narrow the field down to Pampers Premium diapers.

First of all, I was...
