NYmama14020 says "Satisfying" about Iceland Pure Spring Water

NYmama14020 — Wed, 27 May 2009 23:29:09 GMT

I just love this water. I found it at Walgreen's. It is the best tasting spring water. The water leaves no aftertaste. The price is right. It is no more then buying Aquafina or Dasani water. Both of those waters are bottled from the tap. I much prefer Spring water. This is imported from Iceland. The sizes are easy to use as well. This water is just so refreshing!

NYmama14020 says "SEW Beautiful!" about Janome 4400 Sewing Machine

NYmama14020 — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 05:55:24 GMT

I just have to say, I love my sewing machine. My husband bought it for me a couple of years ago and it still runs like a slick oiled machine. I have yet to have an issue with it. It sews through many many layers of material. Even thick denim layers. Putting in a button hole has never been easier. Threading the machine is easy and I NEVER have to worry about tension. I never have to worry about the seam either, unless "I" sew not in a straight line. I need to get back into sewing, but with moving, all my fabric is in a boxes piled into a closet. If you want a good machine to grow with, I would get a Janome 4400. But, anything by Janome will give you wonderful customer service! You will get a great warranty and they honor their warranties! Also, if you get it from a quilt shop, they will even give you free classes so you can learn on your machine! So, husbands go get your wife a Janome 4400 and I promise you, she will love you even more!...

NYmama14020 says "Refreshing!" about Procter & Gamble Febreze Air Effects

NYmama14020 — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 05:44:14 GMT

I agree'd to review the Fabreese Air Effects Vanilla & Refresh. I have to say, I do not remember if I was told the scent. I am not a vanilla person. With that said, I LOVED the smell of this stuff. I went to go and grab the bottle so I can review it properly and it is no where to be found. Which means, my children have it in their room. They run around with it and make my home smell so yummy! We had company and we got complimented on how yummy our home smelled and I was not baking anything at the time. I just smiled and said thank you, knowing full well WHY they thought my home was yummy! It was so wonderful to do a review for this site. Thanks Michelle! I would love to do another one in the future.
So, back to the product, why have you not left to grab it yet? GO! I promise you, you will LOVE the stuff. I used to throw out the coupons for this, but not anymore! I need to get some more as I know I am almost out!

NYmama14020 says "It's OK" about Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style Chocolate Buttercream

NYmama14020 — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:31:07 GMT

Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style Chocolate Buttercream is ok. It is not as good as homemade buttercream. It has an oilty taste to it. It does not have a very good chocolate taste at all. It is easy to spread even from the fridge. It does cover a 9x13 cake. Like I said, it is oily and the taste is just ok. I rather have homemade. I bought this for an in the pinch thing. From now on, I will just try and make homemade.
I have used Duncan Hines in the past and I thought it was the home style that did taste like home-made. But, now they just takes like any other kind. Store bought.

NYmama14020 says "Comfy" about New Balance - 558

NYmama14020 — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 17:20:35 GMT

I have no idea what the specific name for my shoe is. All I know, it is made my New Balance. They are very comfy. With being as big as I am, it is hard to find a pair of shoes that will not make my feet hurt in minutes. New Balance, I can stay on feet all day and not bother me. Which is good since I have been wearing them to work out and do my running around town. They are pink and white and just all around pretty:). I have a shoe fetish, they have to be comfy and good looking for me to wear them. New Balance makes great shoes. They also last a long time and through many many washes. I will wear these for at least a couple of years before I get a new pair. So, they are worth their price. If I get a sneaker from say stuffmart. I end up getting a new pair every couple of months. They just do not hold out for me. So, I LOVE New Balance, and you will too!!...

NYmama14020 says "A Good Buy" about Craig - Portable CD player

NYmama14020 — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 18:05:59 GMT

I bought this Craig Personal Stereo Cd Player With Headphones for my son. He loves it. It worked straight out of the box. It is a cheap model, however, it does exactly what he wants it to do, play his Johnny Cash CD. It is also his favorite color, red. It seems to last long on the batteries. It takes double A's which are of course, easy to find. If he loves it, I love it. My son says both earphones work great. There are not a lot of features to this machine. It was only 10 dollars so I get what I paid for. But it works and that is all that counts. It is only a week old, so if I need to update this later on, I will....

NYmama14020 says "Not a good choice" about Craig Electronics - CMP615D MP3 Player

NYmama14020 — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 17:50:39 GMT

I bought this mp3/4 player for my daughter for Christmas, Of course I lost the reciet. It does not work as well as it should. The plug for the earphones is messed up. Depending on where the headphone jack is, it either works on the right side or the left side. Never for both at the same time. The battery charge is ok. It does load the music fine, however it came with the Windows 98 driver thoug, it was manufactored in 07. Not understanding that one. I guess you get what you pay for. I will be buying her a better mp3 player. Not sure which one, have to do some research on that first:) But, I am still out 25 bucks. Not good when your husband is still unemployed. My daughter does like it. So, for the most part, till I can buy her a new one, this one will do!...

NYmama14020 says "Honeyriffic!!" about Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm

NYmama14020 — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 04:47:51 GMT

So, I have always loved Burt's Bee's. I thought I would try the honey. What a great product! I think, from now on, I will be only getting the Honey. Not sure on that though. I do like the original as well as the Pomigranite one. I am really getting into the natural product lines and I am thankful there are some out there that are affordable, even if a little pricey. I think the price is well worth it though. My children and husband also like them and use them often. I really do not think you can go wrong with these....

NYmama14020 says "Wholesome Crunchies!!!" about Nabisco - Original Wheat Thins

NYmama14020 — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 04:36:03 GMT

I am sitting here eating some Nabisco Wheat Thins. MMMM what a great taste. When I am wanting a snacky sort of cracker, I go for these each time. They are delicious without a ton of salt. At least I do not think so. Even my dogs love them! I feed one to me and one to my dog. I was on this site anyways, so I figured I would just go ahead and review these. I LOVE them!!!! So go out and get yourself a box and eat some! Oh, they go great with cheeses or even summer sausage! I just can not think of one bad thing about these. The price is ok, I think they could be a tad cheaper. You can usually find them on sale though....

NYmama14020 says "Bring on the Popcorn!" about Netflix

NYmama14020 — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 02:18:57 GMT

I like netflix because I can view the movies at home. Being able to watch a movie and send it out makes it just easier on me then having to run to a rental store. The only bad thing is that sometimes it takes a few days to get a new movie. I think it is a great deal. We get the 3 movie deal.It is relatively cheap. Between the children movies, my husbands movies and the ones I like to watch, we are able to satisfy each of our tastes. I like that I can pick and choose the movies I want to see and in what order I want. We have been able to get the series we have been watching pretty quickly! There really is not much else I can say, but bring on the popcorn!!!...

NYmama14020 says "Scrumptious" about Bosch Universal Plus

NYmama14020 — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 02:08:37 GMT

I bought a Bosch Univeral Plus almost a year ago. I love, LOVE this machine. It is a powerful stand mixer. With its 800 Watts of pure power, it can mix anything you throw at it. It also has a 3 year warrenty. If it happens to break down, you know very well that it will be fixed right away. Especially at no additional cost to you. I have made lots of bread and cookies in this machine. This machine is worth its price. Let me tell you, I will not have to buy a new machine for years and years to come, whenI do, it will be another one just like it!...

NYmama14020 says "Breath Taking!" about Canon Powershot A1000IS Digital Camera

NYmama14020 — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 01:45:56 GMT

This camera, the Canon A1000ls is a wonderful camera. It is very easy to use. I recently just bought it as my fugi camera died. I did not have the money to go the route I wanted so we opted for this camera instead. I am so very thankful we did. The zoom is great, the ease of using it is awesome. It fits right into my purse or pocket and I have to for any on the go that I need to do. It takes great, GREAT photo's. It takes great photo's indoor as well as outdoor. I have been able to take quality photo's. The only drawback is that it is slow between photo's. Though if you use better batteries, it seems to do much better. I have the energizer rechargeble battiers. Very nice indeed....

NYmama14020 says "Awesome Ride" about Ford Windstar - 1999

NYmama14020 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:52:49 GMT

I am generally not a ford fan. However, this van was given to us and we have had very little problems with it. It is easy to drive. Easy to ride in. I have the LX and it fits all our family things in it. We only need one van to take our things to go camping. The windstar has been a great van to us. If and when we need to buy a van. We plan on getting another Windstar!...

NYmama14020 says "Awesome, It has it All" about Hewlett Packard HP Pavillion DV6000 Laptop

NYmama14020 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:46:59 GMT

MY first laptop was a gateway and it was horrible,. however. Once I got this HP dv6000 I have been in heaven almost. It is easy to use. I have yet to have a non user issue. I love it!!! I really can not ask for anyting more in a computer. It has a great battery life. It is fast. It has a great memory. The screen is easy to use for readability. It is realitivly quiet. I have been able to run almost all of my preciding programs on this computer. I love Vista. It has better features over xp. I am thankful I bought this computer....

NYmama14020 says "Great Experience!" about University of Phoenix - Axia College AA program

NYmama14020 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:38:52 GMT

So far, I have enjoyed my educational experience here at Axia. I am thankful I decided to take the plunge and go to school! Axia College through Phoenix has been a great choice for me. I am currently going for an AA in medical records. I plan on changing it to Human Serivces as soon as I can. Being able to go to school online has been a great blessing to me. I homeschool my children and I am trying to keep a clean home. Being a homemaker is a tediouis task, add in going to college, it is almost an impossible dream. I am so far holding a 4.0 GPA. I am glad for Axia!...

NYmama14020 says "Getting worse every year" about eBay

NYmama14020 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:31:53 GMT

Ebay started out just wonderful for buyers and sellers. Now, because of their treatment of sellers, it has made it more expensive for people looking for a bargain no longer able to get one. It just stinks now....

NYmama14020 says "Gotta love a store with good service!!!" about Target

NYmama14020 — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:28:47 GMT

Where do I start? I just adore Target. I have yet to have an item of clothing fall apart. I have yet to have an electronic stop working. I have had to return an item because I bought the wrong thing. Great customer service....

NYmama14020 says "Never Again for Fugi" about Fuji FinePix S5700 Digital Camera

NYmama14020 — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:52:58 GMT

Last year, I bought the fugi s5700 camera. In the past year, I have had to send mine back 3 times. It is broken yet again. The view screen keeps going on it. Supposidly they have replaced mine each time. The zoom does not work. I spent 300 dollars on this and now they sell it for 139. I am not a happy camper at all. Fugi has very poor customer service in my experience. I am again in the market for yet another camera. I should not be. I just refuse to do business with them anymore.

On the plus side of things, it does take a pretty good photo. I like the macro functions. It is a great beginner camera in that aspect. I would look for same features on a cannon or nikkon though if youy want quality.

NYmama14020 says "Best Mill out there!" about Nutrimill Grain Mill

NYmama14020 — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:47:18 GMT

The Nutrimill is just wonderful. It is quieter then most of the other grain mills out there. Self containing and very easy to clean. I am thankful I bought mine!...

NYmama14020 says "Outstanding!!!" about bosch universal mixer

NYmama14020 — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 00:44:17 GMT

The new Bosch Universal Plus is just an incredible machine. It takes just under an hour and a half to make 4 loaves of bed. Seconds to do a merigue topping. Make quaddroople batches of cookies in a snap. There is nothing I can say that I dislike about this machine. I have had mine for almost a year! No walking off the counter. Nothing....
