mausekind says "my daughter loves this" about Fisher Price Laugh and Learn 2-in-1 Learning Kitchen

mausekind — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:01:12 GMT

My daughter got this last x-mas she was about 10 month old and didn't care much for it, she loved the sounds it made and the light but didn't really know what to do, now she is 19 month old and she loves to cook with the sizzling sound and open and close the fridge door, the door sings depending on which setting you have open and shut, and some other tunes and words, the faucet has a sound like running water, squeeking when you turn it on an doff and it tell you "on" Off', if the child climbs thru the walkthru the light turns on or off and the music turns on. The toaster can be pushed down adn your child will hear some songs. It is really a great toy for a child I woudl say 15 month and up, since we are only 19 mont I don't know how long she will play with it, but I can see he rplaying with it well past her 2nd birthday maybe even till she is 3. Assembly was very easy and it is a sturdy toy, since my daughter holds on to the arch where the light is attached and pulls back and forth like...

mausekind says "A must have !!!!!!!!" about Crop-A-Dile

mausekind — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:48:53 GMT

if you can only buy one tool I would recomend this on. It can set your eylets without waking all your neighbors up, it can punch holes thru thick chipboard ( or your son;s school belt..lol)... it's just the best tool around, I use mine every time I scrapbook, I use it to create my own chip board albums, to set brads .... just a must have and soo easy to use, just punch your hole, set your eyelet and squeez and you are done ... soo simple.. no hammer needed, no loud noise just a quick squeez and that's it...

mausekind says "We love them" about Crocs Cayman Shoe For Kids

mausekind — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:40:38 GMT

We love these shoes, my daugter got her first pair of crocs when she was 13 month old and she is now 19 month and will NOT wear any other shoes, she is soo comfy in those shoes, they are soft and not stiff like the "cheap" imitation ones you see, she preferes them over any shoe, and I let her choose her shoes every day and 99% of the time she picks her crocs. They are easy to clean, wash them with a bit of soap and water and they are ready to go for the next day, colors are awesome and they always have a great deal on their website B1G1 or 50% off I never pay more then $9.99 a pair of crocs and always get free shipping, there is always a promo or a code online just search ... I love them and would recommend them to anyone

mausekind says "Great "toy" for school" about LeapFrog Didj

mausekind — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:34:15 GMT

My son always had problems with spelling, we got this "toy" for him for x-mas last year and he was in 3rd grade, he loved it and used it every day; we can load his weekly spelling list and he can practice the words all day long, he now is in 4th grade and had a ruff start again with spelling the first two weeks we had him practice the "regular" way and each week he brought home a D and one week even an U he was upsad and lost the fun in learning we pulled out the Didji last week, added his spelling words for the week and let him go, we still did the traditional spelling test at home every night but he came home this week with an A on his test,his teacher as well as we were very impressed and I love this teaching tool, of course it shouldn't be relied on and parent involvements should still be there but it is a tool, use it your child will love it and watch the spelling score go up, now this toy is also great for math, you can make your own math problems depending on what your child is learning...

mausekind says "BEST thing since sliced Bread..!!!" about BumGenius 3.0 One Size Cloth Diaper Diapers

mausekind — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:20:20 GMT

These are by far THE BEST diapers I have ever used. Everyone of my friends and family members as I told them we start cloth diapering when my 19 month old daughter was 2 month old were against it, even hubby moved his nose up and said let's just pay for diapers.. I couldn't bring myself to pay the price of diapers even with coupons and deals, once we found out the problem our daughter had with "regular" diapers she was allergict to most of them I decided against my hubbys wish and ordered 6 bumgenius diapers and that was the last time our baby girl wore regular diapers, EVERY one in my family loves them even grandma and grandpa, babysitter and HUBBY is the Biggest fan now, he will make anyone who watches the baby drive to our home in case we forgot or didn't send enough diapers to get more cloth diapers instead of putting regular diapers on his girl, he is in love with them as much as I'm . They are soo easy, look cute and go on just like regular diapers, she wears them just like regular...

mausekind says "LOVE it...." about Purex Complete 3-in-1 Laundry Sheets

mausekind — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:11:04 GMT

This is truly an awesome product; It is easy and time saving and saves money in so many ways. You only put one item into the wash load and forget it it handles getting your cloth clean, once the wash cycle is done move everything including the sheet into your dryer and it will handle the static and freshness like a dryer sheet would all in one step and all in one product, you buy one item and it is laundry soap, fabric softner and dryer sheet all in one little sheet... no messy measuring, no guessing it's all right there... great product, smells great and it gets the job done... give it a try, there are lots of coupons out to use with this product, I would recommend you buy the refill pack it has more sheets and you don't really need the plastic tub, one pack will last us about 4 weeks so we buy 12 a year and we are done, without any extra steps I will save at least 5-10 minutes on each load and that time I can spend with my baby girl, or reading a book.... I would give it 5 thumbs up...

mausekind says "Really like the idea.. BUT" about Bounce Dryer Bar

mausekind — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:06:10 GMT

I love the concept of this bounse bar, it's simple, you stick it to the inside of your dryer and forget about it for 2-4 month ( depending on what size you purchase). Sounds simple, the smell is great .. I just had to try it, I gave it 5 thumbs up and told all my friends about it, I have been using it for a good 2 month now, may be bounce it longer since I remove it for some items. it is very easy to install, peel the sticky and stick, you are set, if it needs to be removed, easy removable with a push release and the bar slides out of the case and the same it slides back in.... however after the excitement wore off it fell off the dryer and tumbled around in my dryer with my cloth and no way was it gonna stick again, that was a bit disapointing since I still have more then 1/2 of the product left, but I really don't like it tumbling in the tub every-time I use it. I don't know why the sticky didn't last, may be that my dryer got too hot, I don't know, BUT it may work on yours, like...

mausekind says "A MUST have for working mommies...." about Avent Isis IQ DUO

mausekind — Fri, 08 May 2009 03:16:17 GMT

When I had my baby girl 15 month ago I knew I wanted to breastfeed and I also knew I had to return to work shortly after she was born; I already had 2 kids and both I gave up nursing way to soon and this one I wanted to nurse as long as I could, I researched as much as I could and looked into manual and electric pumps, I bought the avent manual pump and loved it, however for work a manual pump wasn't and option, so I finally ended up reviewing the Avent isis IQ Duo and found a great sale online and bought it. BEST decisions I have EVER made; I was able to nurse my daughter for 12 month full time, while being at work full time all thanks to this pump. I was able to pump 4 times a day in the beginning while she was little and then I pumped as needed for the next day, I had so much milk in the freezer just by using the pump 10-15 min each time. Set up was easy and quick in less then 2 minutes, the best part is that all the parts that are in touch with the milk can be easily put in the dishwasher...

mausekind says "A must have for Nursing moms" about Avent Isis Manual Breast Pump

mausekind — Fri, 08 May 2009 03:03:54 GMT

Let me tell you this is a MUST have if you are nursing or planning to nurse your little angel. I owned the electric pump as well as the manual pump and I love the manual pump as much as I did the electric pump; Fast easy assembly anywhere anytime, the avent bottles attach to the screw ring and you will pump your milk directly into the bottle,once done you can either feed the baby directly from the bottle that you pumped the milk in or you can freeze the milk in the same bottle and then use it to feed later, all from the same bottle, why use bags and mess up the freezer when the bust or thaw them and make a mess transferring the milk into the bottle, keep it all in one container and save yourself time and that Precious milk you worked so hard for. The pump itselfe can be taken apart and every piece can go into the dishwasher, there is not one piece that can't be washed easily; I had actually 4(!!) of these pumps and used them everywhere we went, BEST investment I have ever made and would...

mausekind says "Best bottle ever" about Avent Tempo Nurser Baby Bottle

mausekind — Fri, 08 May 2009 02:49:54 GMT

We loved the Avent Tempo bottles, especially when our baby girl was just born and I returned back to work, I nursed while I was home but pumped for her while at work; the regular bottles are great, too but these were great for Mimi's house or the babysitter, easy clean up, never a leak, just perfect all around; they are available in 4 oz or 8 oz and the liners come in each size as well, drop the liner in the bottle, fill the bottle shake and ready to go. When done feeding toss the liner wash teh rest and ready for the next feeding, everything is dishwasher and microwave safe, wich is a big plus, the bottles are durable even if droped over and over and over; the nipples are interchangable with teh regular avent bottles, however the screw top is unique to these bottles and can not be used on the pump or the regular bottles. Overall a great investment, we lvoed them adn would use them again in a heart beat if we would need bottles again.

mausekind says "Love the Insulator Cups..." about Playtex Insulator Spill Proof Cups

mausekind — Fri, 08 May 2009 01:59:57 GMT

After my baby turned one and we stopped the nursing, we switched her to the Playtex Insulator cups, let me tell you these are awesome.. I love all the cool colors, we have 4 of them a blue, a orange( Go Gators...!!! lol gigile... had to say it) a pink and purple. All the lids interchange with any Playtex sippy cup along with the spill proof valve. Which makes it great you can still use your older cups and don't have to worry about which lid goes where. The cups are great for keeping liquid cold, and my cup never sweats. The cups go in the dishwasher, easy taking apart and easy assembly... even my 9 year old makes drinks for the baby...and I even put them in the microwave for her morning milk all without a problem. My baby girl LOVES to throw the cups across the table and we never had a spill or a cup break and we have tile floor. The cups come in 9oz and usually there are two per pack; I would deff. recommend you shop around for a good deal, they are between $8-$10 regular price but...

mausekind says "I LOVE this carseat and so does my baby girl" about Britax Boulevard

mausekind — Fri, 08 May 2009 01:49:09 GMT

I'm a mom of 3 great kids; so I have lots of experience with Car seats ( my oldest is 14, then 10 and the baby for whom I bought this latest seat just turned one). Let me tell you, they have come a LOOONG way in carseats since my first child. I was amazed by ALL the different seats available. It took me weeks to decide on a carseat and when I finally read EVERY review there was on-line on just about EVERY car-seat available I was stuck on this britax Boulevard model. I loved all the feature's like the true side impact protection, which was a VERY big decisions maker in this carseat for me/ us; that I can adjust the seat with one hand by turning the nop next to the headrest and it will turn either higher or lower depending on the age/size of your precious angel, the five point harness will adjust along with the headrest so it's easy to change the setting, we all know our babies grow over night, so who has time in the morning before you rush out the door to drop everything to adjust the carseat...
