my4gigglingirlz says "MONEY WELL SPENT" about North Face Denali jacket

my4gigglingirlz — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 14:36:30 GMT

I bought this jacket first for my 10 year old. She had to have one because everyone in school was wearing them. I shopped online to find a bargain, and truth be told.... They were high priced. It was what she wanted for Christmas, so I HAD to buy one.

This jacket is just a fleece.... Not warm enough for winter in New England. BUT, THE NORTH FACE offers "covering" layers. This is FANTASTIC! This Denali jacket zips into other weaterproof shells and provides the warmth we need. I would etimate the total I spent for the coats is about $140. Not an amount I would normally spend.... I have to admit.

When the jacket(s) came I was very impressed. They really have thought of everything.... The sleeves have nylon on the underside to resist set in dirt. The waist has adjustable tightening to keep the wind from blowing up her back. The zipper is nylon so it doesn't get cold against her skin. The collar is high enough to keep her neck warm, and there are tabs on the lower part...

my4gigglingirlz says "A High Chair Worth the $$$$$" about Peg Perego Prima Papa High Chair

I got this high chair for a baby shower gift.... It was my "most wanted". I wanted it because I had been reading how wonderful the Peg Perego quality was in all the parenting magazines. I can HONESTLY say it was the best gift I got.

The chair pad is extra padded (LOVE THAT) all around, so your little one isn't tipping over sideways while you try to feed. It is vinyl, so it's easily washed down with a sponge. They come in many colors and styles so matching your decor isn't an issue. The tray is ONE HAND friendly, any experienced mother knows the value of that feature!

The chair reclines to three positions, which is excellent for the baby that isn't sitting up yet, but ready for food. It also has 4 height positions.... they can reach the counter bar height, OR be fed while you sit in a chair. When they get a little older, you can skip the tray and pull them right up to the table.

The leg span is a little wide, but folds up easily (one foot & one hand) when you need more...

my4gigglingirlz says "Perfect in every way" about General Mills Cheerios

Cherrios is the perfect anytime snack. My girls love them with because they can sprinkle sugar on them all by themselves! After school, they often grab a bowl & eat them as a snack (without milk) AND they are the perfect 1st snack for baby. Because of the low sugar, I feel better when it's the chosen breakfast OR snack for the girls.

My favorite thing about Cherrios.....They are full of fiber & keep things regular without having to drink those NASTY fiber drinks.

I got these shears 4 years ago.... They STILL cut everything! They come with a holder that you can attach to your cabinet anywhere (Under, on the side, inside the door, etc.) The shears open inside the holder to stay put & are easily grabbed whenever you need them.... No searching through the utility drawer with mucky hands! YEAH!

My favorite use is lobster & crab shells. They cut through like butter. No scratched hands from those sharp edges & no need for the picker because you just cut a line straight over the top & bottom and....... VOILA! the meat just fall out!

They are a little expensive, but well worth the price.

my4gigglingirlz says "By far the BEST girl toy ever invented!" about Mattel Polly Pocket Cool Careers Gift Set

I started buying Pollies when my oldest was 3.... she's 10 now, and still loves them. My favorite thing is that all 4 of my girls (5-10yrs) play with them together at least 4x's a week. They are inexpensive enough to buy often, so there are plenty go around (NO FIGHTING). They are little and so are the play houses, so they're easily packed up to take anywhere & keep your little girl entertained. Everything goes back in the tote when they're done & The toy room isn't cluttered when they aren't being used.

When they go on clearance, I but 3 or 4 extra's, & keep them on hand for all those birthday parties my girls go to. I can't tell you how many Mom's have said "She plays with them ALL the time"...... GREAT GIFT for a GREAT price.

The recent recall was somewhat of a hassle, but since my girls are older I don't worry about them putting things in their mouth. PLUS, I got replacements on 4 sets, so spent less money for Christmas this year. In my case, it turned into a positive. ...
