jead619 says "These are comfortable and work well with a bigger chest. " about Motherhood Maternity Nursing Tank Top

jead619 — Mon, 18 May 2009 19:01:43 GMT

If you are looking for a good nursing bra that will last, the Nursing Tank is for you. Although they are a little more costly, they do work well and are easier to find in the right size. They proved enough support even for a larger chested woman. It is important to get them in the right size, even if they feel a little tight. These make feeding your child more comfortable as they are easy to undo and provide coverage of your belly while you are feeding without having to have a blanket or other item around. They are durable and are even comfortable to sleep in. The color choices are limited, but that does not really seem to be an issue. I have used these for about 2 years and have had no complaints about them. Granted they do not provide as much support as a regular bra, but then again I am not really jumping around all that much so they provide enough support. I would recommend you trying a size smaller then you think you need so that they are really comfortable for...

jead619 says "I could not imagine not having one. " about KitchenAid RRK5A

jead619 — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:46:57 GMT

I got the Kitchen Aid RRK 5A as a gift. It is a refurbished model, but has lasted for many years. This is very heavy and would not be useful if it was not out on the counter. I could not imagine using it very much if I had to drag it out every time. It does make many jobs so much easier. It has replaced my hand mixer. It has made so many things like beating egg whites so easy. It is nice to be able to put the things in the mixer and let the mixer do its thing. It makes great mashed potatoes and beats egg whites in no time. It is hard to get replacement parts for this model. The beater part is worn and this is the second one I have had. Also this is one of the models where the bowl lifts, I would recommend the one where the mixer lifts as it would be easier to scrap and get the bowl out. This machine has enough power to make some good bread!! If you cook or if you have a big family and have the room for a useful kitchen appliance I would certainly recommend a Kitchen...

jead619 says "The phone works even at a distance. " about VTech - 5.8 Digital Speard Spectum model I6788

jead619 — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:29:25 GMT

The Vtech 5.8 is a great phone if you are looking to get a system to put in different parts of the house with only one wall jack. The phones can be a fair distance from the base and still work. We have been able to use the phone at our neighbors pool. The system came with 4 phones and have been a wonderful addition to the house. The intercom on the phones have been a great feature when the family is spread through the house. The ability to page the the handsets is great, but it would be nice if you could do that from the handsets or the charging bases not just the base. The batteries hold the charge really well except on the phone that breaks (everyone I know with this system has lost one of the four phones). The CID list and the phone book are both very easy to use. One thing that I just learned about the phone which will be helpful is if the number on the Caller Id requires you to dial a 1 (long distance) all you have to do is press the # key! Over all this is a good...

jead619 says "This will really encourage you to get moving. " about Nintendo Wii Fit

jead619 — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:18:18 GMT

Wii Fit is a lot of fun!! This is a great motivator. There are so many different activities and challenges to get you started and many things unlock with any progress you make. It is fun to watch you Mii change as the fit gets a better idea of your body size (weight). As your body changes so does your Mii. The system keeps track of your body weight and BMI and helps you stay on track. There are activities like skiing, ski jumping, snowboarding, in addition to the yoga and cardiovascular activites. The Yoga and strengthening portion has you working with a trainer so they can show you the moves and you can follow along. They whole family enjoys this and the system will ask about other people who have made a Mii for themselves. There is one step program that you can unlock which lets you do work out while you watch regular tv. There are a bunch of activities that you really don't need to do anything and you can still do will on the scoring system, but then who are you really...

jead619 says "Really Family Fun." about Nintendo - Wii Console

jead619 — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:08:19 GMT

We are not a Gaming family. I do not let me kids sit and play video games all day and they do not sit an watch TV all day. They have asked for the Wii for a while and we decided to give in and I am glad we did. They have so much fun playing together and being active while playing. They have learned more about working together with some games. They have worked on bettering themselves with other games. They have learned the rules of games and have found lots of different things to do. Each game seems to have all different levels and challenges. The plastic covers for the Wii motes are a must. Kids must be encouraged and reminded to put the straps on. The batteries die quickly so rechargable batteries are really important. There are a few games that you can play 4 players with 2 motes so that is a good feature. Over all the system is well made and lots of fun. When they say it is made for the family they mean it.

jead619 says "It is worth the money...at least it is so far!" about Britax Marathon

jead619 — Mon, 18 May 2009 17:55:35 GMT

The Britax Car seat is wonderful. When I got the first one 2 years ago, my Mother in law thought I was crazy to spend that much on a seat. This was my 3rd child and the other 2 had many different seats. When this one came in my Mother in law was impressed with the quality and the way my son sat up in it. She was also impressed with how easy he would get in it and how he did not complain about being in it. Needless to say she did not question when I got an other one for my next son. The seat is easy to clean with cloth, easy to put in the car, easy to adjust and wonderful for the kids. They look comfortable and never complain about it. When they fall asleep they still look comfortable. Comfort is important as we take many long trips and if they are not comfortable they complain. There have been times when I had to transport Girl Scouts and since these were in the car I used them. The older kids fit in great and were really amazed how well they could see out the windows...
