mom2abbyalex says "Nice sized rooms with comfy beds" about Comfort Inn & Suites - Sioux Falls SD, SD

mom2abbyalex — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 04:28:12 GMT

This is a very nice place to stay at. It is completely nonsmoking with bigger sized rooms for a comfortable stay. The beds are comfy too. It has an elevator, pool and breakfast with waffles and other hot items that vary daily plus fruit, cereal and various other items. This is a nice clean motel in a convenient location. No complaints and most likely will stay there again. ...

mom2abbyalex says "Average. Have stayed at better and at worse." about Days Inn Sioux Falls - Sioux Falls, SD

mom2abbyalex — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 03:23:33 GMT

I found this motel just average. To me the room seemed rather small than where I usually stay but they gave me a really good rate so I thought I'd try it out. I had to change from my original room because the bath tub looked really disgusting, but there was no problem with the changing (quick & apologetic). They said they are changing out the tubs and it was finish rubbing off, but to me it looked like it needed a good scrubbing. The housekeeper didn't empty the garbage or leave linen one day, the next day the bed didn't get made. The waffles are terrible from what I've ever had at other motels. There is also a lot of street noise. If you are just looking for a easy access place to rest your head it's ok. If you're staying longer than a night, probably not.

mom2abbyalex says "I could spend hours in this store" about Gymboree - Sioux Falls, SD

mom2abbyalex — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 17:56:03 GMT

I have to admit I'm addicted to Gymboree. They have such cute kids clothes. They come out with new lines approximately every 2-4 weeks and each line has a theme. There are very few that I do not like because each one is so cute. The clothing does have a bit of a steep price if not on sale, but they have sales and specials very frequently and you can get great deals then. The other day they had a select table if you bought 2 it was only $12 a piece, can't beat that for their great quality. It also has great resale value and is much sought after on Ebay so I get alot of my money back that way. The employees at this store are very nice and always willing to help. ...

mom2abbyalex says "Prepare to be frustrated" about Wal Mart Pharmacy - Aberdeen, SD

mom2abbyalex — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 05:14:25 GMT

I have filled my family's last prescription at this pharmacy. This place is slow and the service is terrible.

Waiting lines of people 5+ are the norm no matter when you go there. I have had to call my Dr's office several times because they send the prescription and it just never seems to get there. Today I went there several hours after it was called in and they had nothing on file (BIG SURPRISE) so I called the Dr.'s office and they resent it. We did our shopping, went back 45 min later and still nothing. So I got my Dr's office on my cell phone and handed it to the clerk who said "I can't take prescription calls" (THIS IS A PHARMACY) and I said "You better find somebody who can". After about 5 minutes someone came with a piece of paper and said "Hot off the fax". Funny how quickly things happen when you get steaming mad. The only reason I went is because of the convenience of everything in one place. Well today bad service just trumped convenience and I'm taking my pharmacy...

mom2abbyalex says "Great place to stay" about Super 8 Motel - Sioux Falls/41st Street - Sioux Falls, SD

mom2abbyalex — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 07:38:48 GMT

We have stayed at this motel several times and have had no problems. The beds are comfortable, the staff is nice, the rooms are clean and the breakfast is good (gotta try the waffles). I would highly recommend this place. It is right across from the Empire Mall (great shopping) and is close to several eating places. You won't be disappointed in this, unless you are looking for a pool--it doesn't have one. The only downfall that I can think of....

mom2abbyalex says "BAD, BAD, BAD--NEVER AGAIN" about Super 8 Motel - S Falls/Arpt/Conv - Arena Area - Sioux Falls, SD

mom2abbyalex — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 07:28:06 GMT

OH YUCK--I cannot believe that this place is even allowed to be a Super 8. Nothing super about it. The halls stink, the room stinks, and the whole place is in need of a total makeover. It is not clean, things do not work, and it is just bad overall. The breakfast was a joke and it is served in a small, dingy, stinky room. Definitely not recommended....

mom2abbyalex says "Not recommended" about Pizza Hut - Aberdeen, SD

mom2abbyalex — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 07:14:56 GMT

The first time I tried this newly opened restaurant was a very bad experience. I went with friends and my children to a kids night when they have a buffet. There was very little food out when we arrived and some of the stuff looked left over from the lunch buffet. We had to continuously ask if and when food would be set out. After an hour wait, we talked to the manager who then comped our food & drinks. I also commented to their corporate office who sent coupons for free food which meant going again...

The next visit was a bit better still had to wait awhile to get seated. Then we had to flag down someone who eventually took our order. She was very good and attentive, one of the only pluses that this place has going for it. The food was bland and not very good but at least all we had to pay for this time around was drinks because we had free coupons from the bad experience. Probably will not go back.

mom2abbyalex says "Great for chapped lips-especially during the winter" about Mary Kay Satin Lips

mom2abbyalex — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 06:41:43 GMT

This stuff is the best stuff ever. My lips get so severly chapped in the winter and this stuff shapes them up in no time. A quick and easy way to keep you lips smooth and soft, not looking and feeling yucky. I use the mask less than the balm. The mask I usually just need during the winter time. This seems so much better than some of the waxy stuff that you buy at the store. A definite must have product....

mom2abbyalex says "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" about Dairy Queen Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Blizzard

mom2abbyalex — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 01:22:16 GMT

I used to always have the same kind of blizzard, Oreo. Then they came out with this one. I haven't had an Oreo blizzard since. This is soooo good. Strawberries and chocolate can't go wrong. If you need something new this is the one to try. You won't be disappointed!...

mom2abbyalex says "Love these for babies learning to feed themselves" about Gerber Graduates

mom2abbyalex — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 01:13:33 GMT

This is a great product for little ones who are learning to feed themselves. They really dissolve easily so very little risk of choking, which I tend to worry about when giving them regular cereals. They come in a variety of flavors and they taste good too....

mom2abbyalex says "You don't know you're drinking diet--no icky aftertaste " about Coke - Zero

mom2abbyalex — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 05:43:03 GMT

This is pretty much the only soda that I drink. I started on this because it came out as I was looking for a "diet" soda but couldn't find any that I could stomach because of the aftertaste. Now I don't have to worry about "empty" calories from drinking something that tastes like regular. The only thing about it --it is hard to find when dining out. I have found it in fountain form at one place-- Chuck E. Cheese. I am hooked, have tried the vanilla version but that seems too sweet for me....

mom2abbyalex says "Spend your $ on this one--you won't be disappointed" about Fisher Price Infant Seat to Toddler Rocker

mom2abbyalex — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 01:02:39 GMT

I am so impressed with this product. Definitely some of the best money spent on a product. This is great from newborn and am still using it for my 19 month old son. He has severe reflux and this is great for keeping him upright after a feeding. It has been washed many, many times and still looks great. Very durable and practical if I remember it is in the $30-40 range and well worth every penny in my opinion....

mom2abbyalex says "One of my all time favorites" about Law and Order: SVU

mom2abbyalex — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 00:55:05 GMT

This is one of my all time favorite shows. I have watched it from the beginning and will tend to even watch the repeats when "nothing else" worth watching is on. My fave characters are Olivia and Elliott but everyone else is ok too. I still watched it when Olivia (Mariska Hargitay) had her baby but just didn't seem the same without her. I love the topics they cover and was really surprised to see an episode this year about a girl with "Williams Syndrome" as my son has this condition. In my opinion, one of the better shows around....

mom2abbyalex says "I must admit-I'm addicted to this show" about The Biggest Loser

mom2abbyalex — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 05:49:26 GMT

This is one show that is definitely must see for me. I am always planning ahead to make sure that I get to see this show. Just something about it that drags me in week after week. I am so excited that there is going to be another "shortened version" this year with couples in January so not too much time between :) I found it odd that the "outcasts" that no one wanted in the beginning ended up being the strongest and completely eliminated the other 2 teams. Sweet revenge perhaps? I think it's a great show and hope it continues....
