butaflygrl81 says "A very Expensive machine, but a Powerful Vac!" about Kirby Vacuum - Sentria

butaflygrl81 — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 15:28:37 GMT

The Kirby Sentria vacuum is great, the attachements are great, you have a vacuum, a blower, and a shampooer all in one. It's very pricey, but it should be the only vacuum that you will need to buy. Kirby is supposed to have a service, where they will bring your Kirby back to life (like new), if it breaks on you. Mine hasn't broken yet, so I can't say if that service is true or not. The salesman was good....too good obviously....I bought one! I will be making payments on this thing forever....which makes me sick whenever I think about it, but I guess the saying is true...you get what you pay for. I have a toddler, a newborn, and a husband with horrible allergies and this vacuum helps a lot. So other than the price, there's nothing I can really complain about....

butaflygrl81 says "A Great Front Loader!" about Kenmore Washer - Front Load HE2 Plus

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:48:16 GMT

I've seen a lot of negative reviews on this washer. People have complained about mold issues, leaking water from the locked door, and the control board acting crazy. (all within a couple of months of ownership) I personally have had my washer for well over 9 months, and have never had a problem with it. (Fingers crossed) It's quiet during cycles, has a super fast spin cycle, that practically dries the clothes. There's a variety of cycles from super long to short, and you can add if you want a presoak, or a 2nd rinse in there, and it calculates how long the cycle will take to finish. I just bought the matching dryer, and cannot wait for it to get here, I hope I enjoy it, as much as I do the washer....

butaflygrl81 says "great price, for an awesome TV!" about Olevia - 42" 1080p Flat Screen LCD Television

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:17:42 GMT

I recently bought this TV from Target. I got an amazing deal on this tv due to Presidents Day sale. I got the tv only 3 days after I ordered it, and it was very easy to set up. The picture is wonderful, clear, and crisp. The sound quality is outstanding. I was a little skeptical on buying an off brand. But I am really happy with my purchase. I only recommend buying a 1080p not 1080i....

butaflygrl81 says "My 2nd set of hands!" about Fisher Price Rainforest Baby Swing

butaflygrl81 — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:31:34 GMT

I bought this for my 2nd son when he was born. I loved the colors, and loved the fact that it could swing forward and back, or side to side. It was the only time I could get anything done around the house, I just put him in his swing, and was able to get the other things done. It was a lifesaver to me! Then one day...my dog chewed through the cord. And it didn't work anymore. I didn't have the book on it, and I figured it was broke until I could get another cord. Then I remembered it could use batteries too! YES!!! Back in business! My son loves the rainforest sounds, and the little toys that go up and down and in a circle. He would just stare at them. Also love the fact that you can lift the toy bar up, to remove baby, so you don't have to swing baby around it. I recommend this swing highly....

butaflygrl81 says "Really nice set of drawers" about Storkcraft Beatrice 5-Drawer Chest

butaflygrl81 — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:58:29 GMT

I bought this dresser from Walmart for $179.96. It was easy to put together, except they do not mark the pieces at all, so I had to look at the picture, and count drill holes, etc to figure out what went where. Some of the Cherry pieces had scratches on them, which I wasn't too pleased with. But I figured my 3 boys would be a lot harder on this thing, so what's the point of returning and getting an unscratched one. Other than that, I was very pleased with the turnout of this product, It looks very pretty, it seems very sturdy, and goes very well with my other Cherry varnished items. For the affordability I recommend this 5 drawer chest....

butaflygrl81 says "Love this Toddler bed, and VERY affordable!" about Dorel-Walmart Toddler Bed, Cherry

butaflygrl81 — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:44:44 GMT

I bought this Toddler bed at WalMart. I ordered it online instead of looking at it, so I was a little skeptical. What kind of bed are you going to get for $57.62, right? When it arrived, it was packaged nicely. All the pieces were there, and very easy to identify in the directions. The hard part was getting the slats that support the mattress in correctly. I'm 7 months pregnant and put this together by myself, so not too difficult. When I was finished...it looked amazing! The next morning my toddler ran and jumped in it, he loved it. I highly recommend this very affordable toddler bed. I do believe they have other varnishes as well, other than the Cherry....

butaflygrl81 says "Nice to have, but not a necessesity" about Playtex Diaper Genie II

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 23:29:44 GMT

I used the Diaper Genie II religiously the first week I brought my son home, but we ere going through so many diapers that, it quickly filled up, and I was changing it all the time. It did cut the smell of the diaper, but honestly, putting it in a grocery bag, and throwing it in the kitchen garbage would have the same effect. The refills are about $5-6 dollars each. Not something that I absolutely needed....

butaflygrl81 says "I Love my beagle" about Beagle - Breed of Dogs

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:17:46 GMT

I've had my Dolly for 2 years now. She housetrained very easily. She does however love to get into the kitchen trash, so I have a baby gate up, so she can't get into the kitchen anymore. I've had a lot of problems with her ears, she gets nasty yeast infections in them, and it has cost me a lot of money to get it cleared up. (Normal with a floppy earred dog). she has a really annoying bark, but I'm lucky cause she doesn't use it unless absolutely necessary. She's great with my children, never has attempted to bite any of them. She does like to chew on blankets, not to tear them up, but to just salivate all over it. There's nothing worse then climbing into your bed, pulling up the cover and having a slimey, wet chunk touch your face...GROSS! But...I would never get rid of her, cause she is too much of a lover. I do have to put her outside in the back whenever I feed my 1 year old, cause she steals his food right out of his hand or mouth. We've just learned to work around her faults. She's......

butaflygrl81 says "Something I could have lived without" about Arms Reach Mini Co-Sleeper

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:04:29 GMT

I received this as a gift for my 2nd son. I used it to actually co-sleep for maybe a week. My son hated it. He wanted to be close to mommy, and this wasn't close enough. I ended up using it as a changing table since it has the drop down side, it was a lot easier to change him in the middle of the night. Now I use it as a large toy box in my living room. I think it's a little too expensive, for something that is smaller in size, a standard pack N' Play would have done exactly this would have except the drop down side railing. And it's a pain to set up, and to break down....

butaflygrl81 says "Is great for the person on a budget who wants a great mascara" about Maybelline Define-A-Lash Mascara

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:56:25 GMT

This mascara is great! It's inexpensive, doesn't clump, doesn't make your eyes itch, separates the lashes nicely with it's different applicator. Only problem is, it's not waterproof, but it does wash off nicely, you don't have that racoon eye problem....

butaflygrl81 says "Makes your hair soft, silky, and sexy!" about BioSilk Silk Therapy

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:52:03 GMT

I've used this product off and on for a couple of years now. If you use a very small amount, it makes your hair very shiny, I love the scent as well. The key is to not over use. Too much will make your hair look greasy, and you will be washing your hair again. And it can make your hair flaky. It also works great on dry spots on your skin....

butaflygrl81 says "The ONLY thing that goes on my face ever again!" about Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Complexion Make-up

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:46:43 GMT

3 years ago, my mother introduced me to the Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals Make-up line, and I do have to say it is by far the BETS make-up that I have ever used. I'm still using it to this day. Any blemish, freckle that I want covered, it doesn't take much to cover up using this product. I don't know how many times, people comment on how beautiful my skin is, and are always asking me what do I wear? I HIGHLY recommend this product to anyone who wants a reliable, easy to apply, great coverage, minimal time taking, great for your skin too make-up. I can't say enough positive things about this line. I do suggest applying a moisturizer first, that also helps the minerals stick to your face better, and stops the flaky skin problem if you have it....

butaflygrl81 says "My sons LOVE this!!" about Parents Bee Bop Band

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:38:48 GMT

I bought this set for my 6 month old son, I noticed him being interested in banging things, and I thought this would be a fun twist on the standard drum set. I was so right! He loved it the second I gave it to him! He uses the caterpiller drum sticks to bang on everything, not only the plastic drum. He loves the tamberine, he's now 13 months old and I still am finding his insect drum set parts all over the place, and what's even greater is I caught my 8 year old playing with it a few times. This toy just keeps on giving. I love it's vibrant colors!...

butaflygrl81 says "Love, Love, Love, cannot live without!" about Boudreaux's Butt Paste Diaper Rash Cream

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 04:54:45 GMT

I couldn't live without this product. It's the only thing that clears up my sons diaper rashes, and doesn't burn his bottom, the second I put it on him....

butaflygrl81 says "A really awesome toy" about Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 04:52:34 GMT

I bought this for my middle son, I thought he would like it a lot more than he did. He's very sensitive to sounds and sudden movements though, and i think that's why he didn't grow to it as much. There were times when he got older he loved it, but once he started to walk, he was more entertained by just holding onto it, and playing with the toys, not the jumping part. Only bad thing I can say about it, is it takes up a lot of room.

butaflygrl81 says "Is the cadillac of strollers" about Graco Quattro Tour Duo Stroller

butaflygrl81 — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 04:45:36 GMT

I call this teh cadillac of all strollers only because it looks that way. But...it does have a few things that bother me about it. Such as, I didn't realize a Double stroller could weight this much. I can barely pick it up 7 months pregnant. It's not that easy to fold down. and the cup holders in the front seat refuse to come out, even though they are supposed to, so you can attach the optional car seat adapter, I had to just put the car seat in the back row seat. It does have a smooth ride, and turns easily. Nice storage compartment underneath, and I love the fac thtat it has it's own toddler storage under the front seat. Justa little too bulky for my taste, when my 3rd row seat is up in my minivan, the stroller can't come too. So, I have to plan out my trips very well. Do I need the double stroller? Etc....
