MISSAMY says "My Favorite Pizza " about California Pizza Kitchen - All locations, US

MISSAMY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:07:38 GMT

I love this pizza! We go to the local California Pizza Kitchen at least twice a month. The pizzas are delicious. I love the neapolitan crust! The pizza is always almost as yummy as the desserts!

MISSAMY says "Finally a safe sunblock" about Neutrogena Pure & Free Baby Sunblock Lotion

MISSAMY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:01:20 GMT

My son has extremely sensitive skin. Any time I used sunblock he would break out in hives and his normal eczema rash. I received a sample of the Neutrogena Pure & Free and decided to give it a try. He has such little tender skin & needs to wear sunblock. He did not break out from this product and it was so light and smooth. It did leave a white film on his skin though, but no sun burns or skin damage!!!

MISSAMY says "I think I will stick with less blades" about BIC Soleil Bella 4-Blade Razors

MISSAMY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:50:02 GMT

I tried the BIC Soleil Bella 4 blade razer. I love BIC products, but found that the cheap BIC lasts longer for me and is more comfortable. The Soleil Bella rusted after 1-2 uses. I felt that the regular BIC shaved better and left my skin feel smoother. Each time I used the Soleil Bella I ended up with razer burn, but I do have extremely sensitive skin.

MISSAMY says "Easy Fruit" about Fruit2Day Mango Peach

MISSAMY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:43:38 GMT

I tried the Strawberry Orange and the Pineapple Banana. I was leery at first with the thought of "fruit chews". I liked the Pineapple Banana, but did not care for the strawberry orange at all. I have a difficult time paying this much for 2 small juice bottles, plus the waste from the bottles.

MISSAMY says "Wonderful Trials" about BzzAgent.com

MISSAMY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:37:30 GMT

I started using BzzAgent almost 3 years ago. I love how many products I have been able to sample before purchasing. Some of the campaigns I have been able to join are... Aveeno Hair Care, Boston Market, Fruit2Day, OFF!, BIC Solei Bella razers, Neutrogena Pure & Free, Diet Mountain Dew, Afrin Pure Sea, Glade- many campaigns, Pledge- many campaigns, Science Diet, Ziploc, Listerine, Grey Poupon, plus many more.

You do need to be very active to keep getting invitations. You should log in daily. I go months only with one or two campaigns then get a month or two when I am invited to 8 or more campaigns at a time. I love all the MyPoints that I receive by reporting on campaigns.

MISSAMY says "Very Aveeno" about Aveeno aveeno nourish and revitalize

MISSAMY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:22:29 GMT

I received a sample of Aveeno Nourish+ Revitalize and Nourish+ Moisturize. I love them both. My hair feels clean and healthy. I love the fresh scent. My hair does not feel like it has a conditioner build-up on it any more. I do really want to try the leave-in conditioner.

MISSAMY says "The Cloth Diaper for Beginners." about gDiapers Little g Diapers

MISSAMY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 14:12:50 GMT

When we found that my son was allergic to disposable diapers we started with the gdiaper. I love how easy it is. I can go a whole day only using 1-2 covers. Families can start using the gdiaper pretty inexpensively. I find them in new condition at used prices on the internet constantly, and really you would only need 3-4 little gpants to get started. We mainly use cloth liners, but I do love the disposable liner. I love how you can flush, compost or throw the disposable liner. I feel like I am making a difference when using this product since normal disposable diapers can take 500 years to break down and the gdiaper disposables only take a few weeks.

I have had some velcro issues with some not sticking, but the g headquarters promptly sent me replacements. I did wish that they would create a onesize option vs. the small, medium and large. What a great product & super company!

MISSAMY says "My Favorite Diaper!" about BumGenius 3.0 One Size Cloth Diaper Diapers

MISSAMY — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 13:58:14 GMT

When my son was 2 we found that he had an allergy to disposable diapers. I switched him to the gdiaper, but eventually found the BumGenius 3.0. It was love at first sight! They are so adorable! My daycare provider will use either but she heavily prefers the BG's. I love the velcro closure since I can find a perfect fit for my son. It does take a while each week to stuff the pockets, but I sit in front of the tv and stuff away. I love how durable they are.

MISSAMY says "BPA free" about BornFree Glass Baby Bottle

MISSAMY — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:19:43 GMT

I now have been using these bottles for several months. I very much disliked them in the beginning since my husband hid the vents so they leaked. Luckily I did not throw the bottles out... since I found the vents which stopped the leaking completely. I am not happy with all of the parts to the bottle- it makes for difficult cleaning & sanitizing. I do love that they are BPA free. My son loves his "baby bottle". Great quality, but very expensive.

MISSAMY says "My son's favorite treat!" about Stonyfield Farms Organic YoBaby Yogurt

MISSAMY — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 13:21:10 GMT

My 12 month old son loves this product as has now had it everyday for the past two months. He knows the package and immediately comes cruising to me with his mouth open. After eating he claps and says "Aaah" which is his cheering sound. The yogurt has greatly helped with clearing up his eczema which we have tried many product without any success.
I love this product since it is organic, made from whole milk (most yogurts are lowfat or skim milk), the Raspberry Pear and Strawberry Banana are fortified with DHA that helps with brain and eye development. The Apple and Mixed Berry packs (which are my son's favorites) have added iron.
I really like that it is available at many stores. Many Wal-Marts, Targets and most grocery stores carry Stonyfield products. I believe the price is reasonable with all the nutrients it gives to my little guy at $3.99 a six-pack. It comes in many varieties in 4 oz. containers there are...
* Simply Plain which is for the baby that is just transitioning into eating...

MISSAMY says "Bedtime is better with Johnsons!" about Johnson & Johnson Bedtime Lotion

MISSAMY — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 20:31:44 GMT

I LOVE THIS LOTION! I will also wear it and I recieve many compliments when I wear it. It moisturizes your skin better than most others. My son is now mostly using Aveno, but we still use the calming lotion at bedtime, he seems to relax with it on. The body wash also works great! Our bedtime routine is to give him a bath with Johnson's bedtime wash then we use the bedtime lotion immediately following. When we started this routine he started sleeping through the night (that same night). I don't know if it is connected, but I am not about to change anything!

MISSAMY says "Beauty isn't everything!" about Eddie Bauer Natural Wood High Chair

MISSAMY — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:05:37 GMT

I loved the look of this high chair- it is beautiful. I would rather have wood than plastic any day- except now. I am unable to use this with my almost 6 month old. He tips to the side- I have used it once. I now feed him in his Bumbo chair. If I could do it again I would purchase a reclining high chair. My son uses this at daycare and he loves it. I sits up and watches the other children play.

MISSAMY says "They keep getting better!" about Apple MacBook Pro

MISSAMY — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 15:56:05 GMT

I have had five laptops in the last six years. I currently still have a Mac powerbook 5 years old and a new MacBook Pro. I have been very happy with Macs. I first turned to Apple since I am a elementary teacher and now am a grad student always on the computer. They run so much quicker than any PC I have used in the past. I have been extremely happy with the quality- I have never had even a problem with a virus (luckily). The Mac employees are very helpful and knowledgable with any questions I have had.
I love how I can just hook up my camera or pop in a dvd and the computer does the rest. I do not need to ever go try to find a program.
They only problem I have found is that older pcs cannot read my windows documents that I send. Many pc owners have had to reformat my documents to read. I can read anything that is sent to me and I have been compatable with pcs that are newer (with in the last few years).
More than likely I will not go back to a pc since I do not understand them. I like...

MISSAMY says "Look no leaks!" about Pampers Swaddlers

MISSAMY — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:50:53 GMT

This is the only diaper that is able to stop the leaks of my little guy. When he goes he really goes! I am very happy with the quality. I stock up when Target has there sales, especially the sale plus giftcards! They are more expensive than other diapers, but they are the only that have not leaked! No ruined clothing, no wet clothing, no mess. I have had diapers fall apart by the tabs when trying to open, but not Pampers!

I LOVE PAMPERS!!!!

MISSAMY says "I can see you!" about Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor 1.8" Screen

MISSAMY — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:44:29 GMT

My husband had to have this montior for my son to sleep in his crib instead of the cradle next to me. I really like the picture quality-the best I have seen. You can see the child breathe! The sensitivity of the audio is unbelievable, you can hear everything. I can hear what my husband is watching on tv on the otherside of the house when it is on. I am a light-sleeper so I cannot have the volume on I wake up to the lights flashing with noise.
This monitor is a must for worrying parents like me that need to look at my sleeping child. My only advice it to know when to put it down, stop watching the precious infant and go to sleep (Which took me several nights).

MISSAMY says "Great Idea, but it doesn't hold up." about Seventh Generation Chlorine-Free Diapers

MISSAMY — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:33:45 GMT

I was so excited to try these diapers. I want to do something to help with all diapers that I use. I used these diapers for almost two weeks, and in those two weeks my son wet through these diapers at least once every other day. Within minutes of changing his diaper his clothes would be wet from a diaper leak-it seemed to come right through the front. He ended up staining four outfits. I have never had problems with Pampers, but I want an earth-friendly product. l would be open to try any other recommended brands, but sadly these did not work for my little guy.

MISSAMY says "Hours of baby fun!" about Manhatten Toys Skwish

MISSAMY — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 13:21:20 GMT

This toy is a must have for all parents of infants (1-12months). It is small and simple. My son has lots of toys yet this is his favorite. He played with one at his daycare- when we had to switch daycares I decided to buy him one. I looked online at the Manhatten toy website and went to all the local stores that carry that toy line. I found that none of the stores had the toy instock. Most had the skwish on order, but could not keep on hand.
My son lays on his back or sits holding this for long periods of time. He is now teething and this is the only comfort! It when shaken makes a soft wood clicking sound. The orginal I like better, but I ended up with the color burst which is more of a pastal colored. I had my mother-in-law's original and the color burst next to each other, my son kept going for the original with the bright colors.
I would highly recommend this to all, but be prepare to buy online. It is a favorite of babys and young children.

MISSAMY says "My son's favorite thing!" about Fisher Price Baby Papasan Cradle Swing

MISSAMY — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 00:32:55 GMT

The fisher price swing is beautiful. My son has been blessed with 3 swings. One at each grandparent's house and one at home. We have two of the F.P. Baby Papsan Cradle Swings identical and one of the older F.P. cradel swing models with the Aquarium. They are easy to place a baby in from newborn to 5 month old (the age of my son). I thought that he would only be in this swing as a newborn, but 5 months later he loves to take his morning nap in it. He loves looking at himself in the mirror which is on the underside. It plays lovely songs and nature sounds. I love how the cradle lies down instead of sitting up for the baby- my son is still very comfortable in it.

MISSAMY says "My baby's only bottle." about havent seen any good ones

MISSAMY — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 20:02:12 GMT

These a the only bottles my son has ever accepted. He loves the bottles. The bottle is very easy to clean with the bottle brush- everything but the nipple. I feel better using the Avent bottle steamer after washing. I love the three sizes! The 11 oz was a great addition!
