lexiehogge says "great point and shoot." about Nikon - 7600 Digital Camera

lexiehogge — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:57:31 GMT

I have both a digital SLR and a point and shoot. But I have had a point and shoot for a lot longer and have nothing but good things to say about it. I first started out with a very slow very grainy point and shoot and decided to purchase another one. I researched it out and this Nikkion coolpix 7600 looked like the best deal for my money. Well I loved it since the first time I used it! It takes pretty good pictures and I love the video feature. even though I use my digital SLR for pictures I use the video on the Nikkon every single day. The only thing that I don't like about it, is it takes a long time to :load" between pictures. meaning I can't take a bunch in a row. but other then that it's a great camera. It's been dropped SEVERAL times and it still works really great. It's easy to use which is always nice. I have had it for over 4 years now and it still works like it's brand new! I would defiantly say Nikkon is the way to go!

lexiehogge says "fun and educational" about Melissa & Doug Puzzles

lexiehogge — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:46:11 GMT

We have 3 very active boys in our house. and about 1000 Melissa and doug puzzles. I love love these puzzles. There are just so many to choose from and each one my kids have loved. there are a lot of fun ones as well as a lot of educational ones. I love that they are make of real wood and so do my kids. My oldest son loves to smell them (funny I know) They are very durable puzzle as well. Having 3 boys, things get thrown around my house all the time and I can't tell you how many puzzle pieces have. and not one of them has been broken or destroyed. we bought the melissa and doug alphabet puzzle when my oldest son was two. He learned all of his letters from just that puzzle. He wanted to do it over and over everyday! it has helped each of my kids since learn their letters. We also bought the number puzzle as well and they love that one! These puzzle are very fun for my kid and they learn from them each time they play with them!

lexiehogge says "It's....ok" about Magellan - GPS

lexiehogge — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:35:07 GMT

We bought this GPS about 2 years ago. We live in a place where the roads DO not make sense and if you get lost you are REALLY lost. I was scared to drive. Then we decided that GPS systems were getting more affordable and so we purchase one. Sometimes this one works really great, and sometimes it takes us out of the way. I have heard that all GPS's are like this so I can't really get too upset. I have used a million times and always seem to get where I need to go. Sometime it leads me to a road that is one way, or not really there. but for the most part it seems to work ok. I guess the only downside is it takes you the long way sometimea even if you tell it to go the "fasted route" or "shortest distance" it doesn't always do that. But it has saved my life more then once so I like it. there might be newer model's that are a little better and worth checking out though. All in all it was a good purchase I would say.

lexiehogge says "tons of fun!" about Little Tikes Slide

lexiehogge — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:28:28 GMT

My husband and I were trying to think about what to get our 2 year old for his birthday. We live in a place where it gets VERY cold in the winter and you can't go outside for months at a time. we have 3 little boys and a very small apartment. We decided to get a slide so that they can play during the cold months. There were a lot of slides to choose from and we saw this little tikes one and thought it would be perfect. The other slides we saw were too small for our growing boys. but this was the right size to keep them entertained for hours. All of them have loved this slide from the time they were tiny babies to now, my Son is almost five and still loves it. It's made of softer plastic which in nice, even the ladder. so that way they can't get hurt. and there is no metal or wood that I have to worry about hurting my children or breaking. the slide has lasted us 3 years so far and not a sign of wear or tear!

lexiehogge says "My kids love it!" about Fisher-Price ball popper

lexiehogge — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:11:57 GMT

I got the Ball popper for my sons first birthday. He is almost 3 years old now and I have 2 other kids and they all play with it still! They love this ball popper. not only is it fun and exciting for them but it keeps them entertained forever. The only down side I would say is that it takes 4 D batteries which are kind of expensive but they seem to last a long time so it makes up for it. Plus the kids love it so much that it doens't matter right? The ball popper comes with five colorful ball and when you turn it on a fun song turns on and the balls fly out the top. sometimes they fall back in and sometimes they fall off to the side, but that doens't stop my kids, they go running and chasing after them then put them back in theba popper and try all over again! there are at lease four or five songs that they play and my kids love them all. I would and have recommended this toy to a lot of people I know and each of them have love it. It's perfect for 0-5 years I think, and sometimes the older...

lexiehogge says "love it" about Mary Kay Oil free Eye Makeup Remover

lexiehogge — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:32:46 GMT

This is a very light make up remover. I have used quite a few in the past and this is by far my favorite. I love that it's like water, it goes on very easy. It takes the make up off so quickly and I usually with just one wipe. I don't have to repeatably keep wiping my eyes to get the make up off. It doesn't sting the eyes either, I have used some that sting and hurt my eyes, but the Mary Kay remover is great. I would recommend and HAVE recommend this to my friends and anyone who is looking for a great eye make up remover!

lexiehogge says "great product!" about Cosco Beginnings Gentle Motion Swing

lexiehogge — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:58:17 GMT

I have used this swing for all three of my babies. I have loved it every since I first got it. I love that it's not that big so it doesn't take up too much room in our house. I love that it adjust for newborns and then when they get older it sits up more. it has a few speeds which is nice, and you can wash everything whicch really comes in handy when the baby spits up all over it! I have had it for a long time and it's still going strong. Greatest of all it's not that expensive at all! I have recommended it to my friends!

lexiehogge says "LOVE it!" about Cosco Convenience High Chair

lexiehogge — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:54:09 GMT

I love love love this high chair. when I had my first baby I thought I needed the big fluffy expensive high chairs that have fabric on them. but then I realized that they get MESSY! So I went with the very simple very basic high chair, and have loved it ever since. it fold up-flat which is perfect for storing. The tray comes off easily and EVERYTHING wipes down. when it so nice when you have baby food thrown everywhere! I defiantly would recommend this to my friends and family who are in the market for high chairs!

lexiehogge says "It's just ok" about Uniden - 5.8GHz 3 Handset Cordless Phone

lexiehogge — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:48:50 GMT

I have had this phone for a while now. I like enough, but there are some things that I would change about it. first off I love how there are 2 handsets, it makes things easier, as well as the "handset finder" button. It makes it easier to find when my kids take the phone and hide it from me. the only thing I don't like is when you are on one handset, you can't pick up the other one and listen it. I don't know if that is this phone...or all phones with more then one handset I don't know. Other then that, I like the phone and it works!

lexiehogge says "works everytime!" about Target preganancy test

lexiehogge — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:37:41 GMT

I have been pregnant 4 times, and every-time I suspect I am pregnant I run out and get the target brand pregnancy test. I used to think that the more expensive the test the better. But I soon learned that they all work just fine. target is cheap and very effective. I always get the box with 2 test just to make sure. I get the right result every single time. never have I had a false positive or negative I would recommend this test to anyone who needs to take one and doesn't want to go bankrupt doing it!

lexiehogge says "A...mazing!" about Calphalon One Nonstick 16-Piece set

lexiehogge — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 01:27:19 GMT

This cookware set is perfect for all my cooking needs. It does every I need it too and cooks things to perfection. The food never sticks to the pan and come out nice and clean. The pans don't warp either, like others I have own in the past do. I love how there is a pan of every size so I never have to worry about not having the right one. They are all very durable also, my kids sometimes like to get in the cupboard and throw things around, and they have never broken or chipped. I would recommend this to everyone!

lexiehogge says "I have never had so many problems!" about Hewlett Packard Photosmart C4280 Printer

lexiehogge — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:28:42 GMT

I had a HP printer before and loved it. It was a 3 in one as well. One day it broke, and so I went to get a new one. I figured I would stick with HP because I liked them. but this printer has problems everyday. When I go to put a new cartridge in, it aligns...and then the next time I go to use it I have to align the whole thing AGAIN. it's very annoying. Their picture program for printing off pictures is the worst. I thought being a new model they would have made update and improvements but they seemed to have made it worse!...

lexiehogge says "didn't work" about Mary Kay lengthening mascara

lexiehogge — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:23:59 GMT

This mascara always always ran under my eyes. even when I didn't do anything involving water! I would put it on and then 10 minutes later I would have black under my eyes....

lexiehogge — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 17:21:05 GMT

This is the perfect 1st bunk bed. You can have it either high or lower. my kids are younger so I wanted something that wasn't too high. this was perfect. it was kind of challenging to put together, but I love it and so do my kids!...
