palavee says "Trip Advisor can save you from making a bad vacation decision!" about TripAdvisor

Trip Advisor can be a godsend for anyone who wants real reviews on hotels, attractions, rentals and transportation for an upcoming trip. I would recommend this website to all who are planning trips whether for business or vacation. Trip Advisor lets you virtually experience a destination before you arrive through others who have been there before. Using Trip Advisor is the one sure thing I would do while planning any trip!

palavee says "My daughter loves Moon Sand, but I hate it!" about Spinmaster Moon Sand - All

Moon Sand is one of those toys that parents love to hate. While my daughter loves the fact that is it easily moldable and will not dry out, I really dislike the mess that comes from this toy. Moon Sand does hold together for molding purposes, but it breaks apart into tiny pieces easily too. I would not recommend Moon Sand as an indoor toy. Using it in an outside play area would be ideal. Overall, I probably will not buy Moon Sand again for my daughter. We will stick with regular sand in the sand box....

palavee says "One of the most amazing books ever written!" about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is a great culmination of a fantastic series. While I hated to see the series end, the author managed to tie up loose ends and even throw a few surprises into the mix in this last book.

I do think the ending left off too abruptly. I wish more had been shared about the Harry's life after the defeat of Voldemort. Like many others, I guess I hope that J.K. Rowling will write a second series about the aftermath of the destruction of the Dark Lord.

All in all, it is definitely worth the read even if you have not read the other books in the series. Rowling writes with a "you are here" style that draws a reader into the story. I truly hope she begins a new series soon.

palavee says "Fantastic, funny family game!" about Mattel Games Balderdash

Balderdash is the best game I have come across for family fun. I have played several times with 6-8 adults and also with kids in the 10-14 age range. If you want a game that will promote laughter and togetherness, this is the one!...
