Mom2boys says "The Panasonic Cordless Phone is a great phone." about Panasonic - Home Telephone

Mom2boys — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:37:46 GMT

We have owned the Panasonic cordless home phone for several years now and are very happy with it. The model number of this phone is KX-TGA5442M. We have the phone with the wall mount and answering machine and two handheld cordless phones.

These phones have been great and have lasted for four years so far. We have had no problems with these phones as far as sound and usage. We are able to store our favorite phone numbers in the telephone directory or speak on the hand held on speaker phone.

My only complaint about this phone is the hands free headset that you can purchase to go with it. I have this and have tried using it, however the person on the other end of the phone has a hard time hearing me when I use this option, so I have not been able to use this on these phones.

Other than the headset issue there are no other problems with this phone and I would recommend it to a friend.

Mom2boys says "We love this cough medicine - better than any other!" about Robituson DM cough medicine

Mom2boys — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:30:51 GMT

My family uses Robitusson DM cough medicine for coughs and always have used it. When my kids were younger a Dr. recommended that we get Robitusson DM for my son's cough and told us it would help him to deal with the cough. We have tried many different types, even prescription medicines and this one hands down has been the best.

My kids have suffered with allergies that trigger coughs as well as seasonal asthma. Whenever a cold and cough comes on I purchase Robitussin to help their cough and their chest congestion, this has almost always helped, other than for the trigger of the Asthma, which is a totally different situation.

I would recommend this over the counter cough medicine to anyone trying to clear up a cough. It helps to relieve the symptoms. Although I am not in the medical profession, I am going off of what I have been told in the past from our Doctors and this is a very helpful medicine.

Mom2boys says "I love Bath and Body Works Hand Cream" about Bath and Body Works Bath and Body Works Pleasures

Mom2boys — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 15:06:42 GMT

I love Bath and Body Works Pleasures Sweet Pea Hand Cream. This hand cream is awesome. It smells great and the lotion keeps my hands moisturized and smooth. I use this cream every day, especially in the winter when my hands tend to dry out and crack.

We live in a dry climate and my hands were dry and cracking horribly until I started using this lotion. Ever since I started they haven't cracked at all and they smell great. This scent is very calming and not overpowering. I am not big on the perfume smells or real flowery fragrances, however the Sweet Pea scent is sweet smelling.

I would recommend this hand cream to anyone. The sweet smell of Sweet Pea is also a nice fresh scent. The price is not too expensive and definitely worth the cost. It lasts a long time, although Bath and Body has recently changed the size of the hand creams which is a little disapointing because it is smaller.

Mom2boys says "I love the Rival Crockpot" about rival crockpot

Mom2boys — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:58:13 GMT

I love the Rival Crockpot.

I use my crockpot all the time, it used to be more in the winter to make stews and winter weather foods, however, I have used this all summer long this year too. I have made everything in this crockpot from Lasagna to beef/pork ribs to roasts. We are an extremely busy family with kids sports and working full time that it is hard to make time to make a good meal each day for dinner. I have gotten in the habit of using my RIval crockpot to put the dinner in the morning and forget about it until it is dinner time that night. This crockpot cooks great and the meals come out great every time.

My only complaint about this crockpot, which isn't really a complaint, is that I would prefer to have a larger one. Now that my kids are a little older and eat a lot more, I need to have a larger one to make more food. I would be able to cook more which would give me leftovers as well.

I would recommend this crockpot to everyone!!!

Mom2boys says "No streaks and nice color" about Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion

Mom2boys — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:44:23 GMT

Banana Boat Summer Color Sunless Tinted Lotion is great.

I used this all summer and it gave me a nice even tan. I put it on two to three times a week after a shower and the color was a nice shade for my skin tone. Doing this weekly helped to maintain the even color and it didn't look too dark or show any streaks whatsoever. The smell isn't too bad, it is a little different, but it does fade away after a short time. Even after using it consistently I didn't look too dark or fake in anyway. It lasts for about a week, but reapplying during the week helped to maintain the color longer.

The cream also helped my legs to stay smooth and didn't dry them out at all. The bottle lasted all summer and I still have some left, it is a good product for the price.

I would recommend this product to anyone that wants a reasonably priced sunless tanning lotion that goes on evenly and doesn't take much work to maintain.

Mom2boys says "This game was not as good as I had expected it to be." about Parker Brothers Partini Fast Fabulous

Mom2boys — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:18:15 GMT

I purchased the Parker Brothers Partini game about a year ago.

We were looking for more games to have for our neighborhood game nights and parties. This game was on sale and according to the box looked like a lot of fun. I was looking for something that would be interactive for all and make great conversation with a lot of laughs.

This may be fun at times, however, it was slow going for us and wasn't as much fun as I had anticipated. The interactive part was kind of fun and had people doing silly things such as hum a song or describe someone. The clay formation was OK, but I don't think that there was enough clay to make some of the required things.

Overall, this was an OK game and we would probably play again, but it is not one of our favorites and I would have not bought it at the full price, on sale it isn't a bad deal. Given the right group of people at the right time, this may be a fun game and we are willing to give it another try.

Mom2boys says "A great game to play at parties" about Jakks Sequence

Mom2boys — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:11:17 GMT

We purchased the Sequence game over a year ago and it is a family favorite. This game is a game that can be played over and over again.

We originally purchased it for the house to play as a family. It turned into a game that we play with our neighbors for game nights and they like it too. We have also taken this game camping with us and ended up buying another one to keep in the camper since it has become so popular with the family and friends. This is also a great game that can be played in the winter time when stuck indoors. My kids love to play it with us.

This game can be played as young as around 10-11 and great up to any age adult. This is a thinking/strategy game and is fun being played individually or as teams.

I recommend this game to people who like card games or strategy games. It can last a long time or a short time, depending on how each turn plays out. It is always fun!

Mom2boys says "This is the best cleanser that I have used!" about Clean & Clear For Sensitive Skin

Mom2boys — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:03:51 GMT

I use Clean and Clear for sensitive skin and absolutely love it.

I had used MANY other products over the years for my combination skin with no luck. The oily parts would breakout and when using products to help that they would dry out the parts that were already dry and make them red. With this product my face always feels clean, smooth and not oily at all.

After using this soap regularly I no longer had breakouts at all! The price on this soap is extremely reasonable, not like some that are expensive because of their name and do the same thing. I have found this product in any big superstore, grocery store or drugstore, which makes it even more convenient.

This product works great on my skin as well as other friends that I have recommended this soap to and they have different skin types than mine.

I highly recommend this product to people with sensitive skin it does a great job of cleaning the skin.

Mom2boys says "This is the best shampoo that I have ever used!" about Redken ALL SOFT

Mom2boys — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:46:18 GMT

I have used Redken All Soft Shampoo for many years and love it.

My hair is color treated and very thick/coarse. When I started to use Redken All Soft my hair was dry and had split ends, my hairstylst recommended that I try it. After the first week my hair was back to feeling great - it was no longer dry and looked very healthy. I only have to wash it once every other day and it looks great. I was washing it twice in one day prior to using this shampoo. This also keeps my color/highlight looking fresh longer.

Although this shampoo is normally purchased at salons or in specialty beauty stores, it isn't outragously expensive and well worth the price. Generally you can buy this in the one liter bottle which lasts quite a long time. I also pair it up with the All Soft Conditioner, which is great too!

I would highly recommend this shampoo to anyone. Especially for those people with thick and long hair, although it is great for everyone.

Mom2boys says "Nice little laptop!" about Dell Latitude D620 Laptop

Mom2boys — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:38:22 GMT

I use the Dell Lattitude D620 for work every day and love it. It is very reliable and easy to use. I have not had any problems with this laptop at all.

The screen is clear and very easy to see. The size is perfect, not too big where I can't take it back and forth to work with me or travel with it. The laptop is not heavy in the least, fairly light for a laptop this size. It is not so small where you feel like it is a pain to use, both with the keyboard and the size of the screen.

The battery life on this laptop generally lasts for a good amount of time, I have never had it run out on me while working. I charge it before I take it anywhere and am good for the day. I have not had to replace the battery yet and have had this machine for over a year.

I am not big on laptops due to the size of the keyboards and the touchpad, but I plug in a wireless mouse to the laptop and it is just like using a regular desktop.

Mom2boys says "I love this refrigerator!" about Amana Refrigerator

Mom2boys — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:18:14 GMT

We purchased our refrigerator when we moved into our new home about 4 years ago. After doing a lot of research on what is the best model that provided the most room and the easiest to store food, we decided on this Amana model.

This refrigerator has a freezer drawer on the bottom with a pull out shelf that is great for getting to the foods that you need when you need them.

The refrigerator part has a lot of storage with even more storage on the inside of the door for gallon containers of milk or the large orange juice containers. We like to have family get togethers and make a lot of food that needs to stored until the party, there is always room in this fridge. There always seems to be room for the leftovers as well. The other great thing is the drawers for produce and vegtables that have there own temprature settings to keep everything as it should be.

We would highly recommend this refrigerator for anyone looking to buy a new one. The storage is great and it is very easy...

Mom2boys says "Easy wireless setup and security" about Linksys wireless g broadband router

Mom2boys — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 18:06:33 GMT

We bought this Lynksis wireless g broudband router to replace an older wireless B broadband router. Our newer laptop and computer had the faster G network cards and the old router would not keep up.

This router was very easy to setup and with the security for the wireless connection. We have several computers hooked up to it via wireless and network cables. We also have a video game system that is hooked up to it through wireless.

It is small and compact with easy setup. It is easy to access the router for administrative changes and review. There is also a log that can be kept to monitor all the computers and what websites they are accessing.

When friends and family come over they are also able to easily hook up to it through the wireless connection.

We would highly recommend this router to anyone in need of a new router for their computer or gaming systems that need a wireless connection.

Mom2boys says "Love this camera!" about Fuji - FinePix S8100 Digital Camera

Mom2boys — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:50:14 GMT

My husband bought this camera for my birthday last year after a lot of research into the easiest and best digital cameras for the price. We wanted something that had a zoom for sporting events and for outdoor shots.

I aboslutely love this camera. It is easy to use and the pictures turn out great. I love the zoom option and is great for sporting events. It takes great outdoor pictures, they are very clear and the colors are sharp.

I take a lot of pictures of my kids when they are playing their sports and this takes some great action shots. It has the option to take continuous pictures and is great for catching a great play or shot being taken on goal.

There are many options on this camera that I have not yet tried, but will when I have some time. The basic picture taking features are great.

I would highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for an easy digital camera with a nice zoom and great pictures.

Mom2boys says "Love this machine" about NordicTrack E7

Mom2boys — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:19:42 GMT

We recently purchased a Nordic Trac Elliptical after doing much research on the best home fitness product to use. We were told by a lot of people the Elliptical is the best overall way to get a good daily workout so we gave it a try!

I am not the kind of person that likes high impact exercises at all and have enjoyed using the elliptical for many reasons. It is easy to use and your knees and ankles don't take a pounding like if you were to go for a run.

We have kids involved in sports and they like to use this machine when they haven't had any outside time to stay in shape and fill in the time when there is a break during their sports.

My husband loves this machine and is working to lose some weight and said this is the best he has felt since starting an exercise program.

We would highly recommend using this equipment for staying in shape, losing weight or as part of a daily exercise routine.

Mom2boys says "A fun and interactive way to play video games" about Nintendo - Wii Console

Mom2boys — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:13:13 GMT

The Ninteno WII has been the best video game system that we have owned for several reasons.

We were in the market to buy a new video game since our Playstation 2 was on the verge of breaking down. We debated and researched each one of the systems and found that most of them had many good points and bad points. The selling point for us was the interactive games, ability to play many people at one time, the range of ages that can play these games and the ease of use.

We have boys and they love to be active, the games that they play on the WII are good because I rarely see them sitting down to play any of the games. The games that they play have even caused them to work up a sweat. The whole family loves to play together and try to make a game night as often as possible.

Our next purchase will be the WII Fit so that we can get some of our exercise in at home rather than having to go to the gym all the time. We can split up the routine and the days we can't make it to the gym...

Mom2boys says "The Whirpool Duet washer and dryer is the best I have ever owned" about Whirlpool Duet - Washer Dryer

Mom2boys — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:03:55 GMT

We purchased the Whirlpool washer and dryer when we moved into our house about four years ago. We had never owned a Whirlpool appliance in the past but had heard good things about it, so we decided to give it a try.

These machines have been great! They do a great job in washing the clothes and the dryer automatically senses if the clothes are dry. The wrinkle shield option is great, especially if you tend to forget about a load that you put in earlier in the day. We have kids that play hockey so the washer is constantly going with stinky jerseys and gear and have never had a problem with anything being damaged or looking like it has been washed too much.

We recently needed to make more room in our laundry room and decided to stack the units. They were easy to put together and it really freed up a lot of space. We love the idea and it looks great too!

After 4 years we have not had any problems with either one of our machines and would highly recommend them to anyone looking...
