saps says "Members Mark Infant Formula with DHA and ARA- Great!" about Members Mark Infant Formula with DHA and ARA

saps — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:30:41 GMT

After stopping breastfeeding and even while weaning my now 5 year old and 10 month old I've been using the Members Mark Gentle Infant Formula Powder with Iron, DHA and ARA Lipds. It is comparable with the Enfamil Gentlease Lipil and the proof is on the cans. Both my son's seem to love the taste and the price at SAM's is easy on the wallet when compared to other stores for the name brand formula's. Three cans cost $58.14 or $19.38 per can at Sams Club.

The only downfall of this is the smell. I thought I had spoiled formula in my son's bottle until I realized that I had just made his bottle 20 minutes before hand. The smell is definitely not friendly to the nose and it's probably a good thing it's in a bottle because if it was in a cup babies might turn their noses up to it.

The texture is different than the Enfamil's brand and is a little more courser but when mixed with water you cannot tell. One 3 lb 3.4 oz can lasts my son about 2-3 weeks depending on his feeding patterns.

So what...

saps says "Little Tikes Endless Adventures EasyStore- Tea party time" about Little Tikes Endless Adventures Easy Store Jr. Table

Our Experience:

I purchased Little Tikes Endless Adventures EasyStore Jr. Play Table along with a kitchen set and play dishes hoping to encourage my daughter in pretend play at home. We had it in a playroom in the house for a long time, it is now outside in our backyard. My daughter has used it for tea parties-pretend and real, art time, painting, doing anything messy, playdough, and eating. It is perfect for young children to have their own place to sit and draw or eat. My daughter would go underneath it when she was afraid, it was her favorite hiding place with her blanket.

My daughter likes that she has a kid size table of her very own. She likes to play tea parties with her friends on this picnic table. I like that it folds down easily, I can move it easily from place to place, where I need it. I love the easy clean up of this table! It is made out of hard plastic so I feel good knowing that it is safe for younger children. If a child falls into it, they will not be hurt as they would...

Britax Boulevard Car Seat

This seat is really great, I can't say enough good things about it.

First of all, my 7 month old son fits perfectly and rides so comfortably in it. He outgrew his carrier, and I wanted a safe, and snuggly seat for him to move into. He not only loves the look of the cow print (he smiles and laughs at himself in the Baby In Sight mirror!), but the fabric is so plush and soft. If you're going to get a top of the line model, I figure take advantage of the fun prints that are offered! It's great because it is so soft and lush, but he doesn't sweat in it at all, and he's a big sweater! The BRU exclusive fabric, Racer, looks chic, but is very rough to the touch down the center stripe.

Also, this seat was almost too easy to install. It was so simple, I felt like that couldn't possibly be "it". But it was! The LATCH connectors have clicks similar to seatbelts, and easy to pull straps - this was nothing like trying to install the base to my Graco Snugride. I'm confident...

saps says "Booster Seat by The First Years- Average!" about The First Years Newborn to Toddler Booster Seat

Booster Seat by The First Years

Do you have a baby? Well, then you know that a highchair will be in your future. Did you know that a portable highchair could be just as useful as the main highchair in your home? If you already know that, than you're one step ahead of me. I didn't realize it until we took a long weekend away when our son was 7-months old. By then, he was adept at eating in the big-boy highchair, so feeding him in his car seat was problematic, to say the least. I won't go into the messy details, suffice to say, the following week I picked up the Portable 3-in-1 Booster Seat by The First Years.

Pros
Initially, I was pleased with the seat. It's easy to clean, and to maintain. There's a lip around the edge of the tray so spills can be mopped up before baby hands start splattering liquids everywhere. Food gets caught between the crevices a bit more than in the main highchair, but that's due to it's design for portable use. It's collapsible, and can be completely disassembled...

saps says "Arbonne ABC Herbal Diaper Rash Cream! Wow" about Arbonne ABC Herbal Diaper Rash Cream

saps — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 19:06:31 GMT

I know this product is for babies, but I just wanted to say that I found a great use for this product: I put it on the inside of my thighs that get chaffed after walking every day. I have been walking 2-4 miles per day, in my quest for better health. The downside was that my thighs were getting a rash from rubbing together. I put this on at night, and it's gone the next day! Great for the whole family. Lightweight cream, slight herbal scent, all natural, very gentle

I have used this cream on my eldest since the day she was born. It works really good for when she has those rashes and I don't have to worry about what I am putting on her skin. Also my daughter has really sensitive skin and was getting really bad diaper rashes ALL the time. When we started using this product not only did the rash clear up quickly, it helped prevent future rashes. A little on the expensive side, but definately worth it!

I love that this is an herbal product and it works just as fast as balmex. It's cute packaging...

saps says "Recaro Sports Car Seat..the best!" about Recaro Young Sport

saps — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:55:22 GMT

This is a great car seat! The photos don't do it justice. The seat material feels like velvet and offers sufficient padding. After doing quite a bit of research, we decided on this seat based on the history behind RECARO and the quality of their products. RECARO has a history of specializing in the production of racing-style and aftermarket seats for several car manufacturers, including present day Porsche. The same technology has gone into the RECARO Young Sport as it offers the latest energy-absorbing foam and side impact protection. The seat is versatile (can serve as booster chair when child ages) and the sleeping position (ability to tilt the seat slightly to lean the child back) are additional features we that also contributed to our decision to purchase. At the end of the day, this is a car seat you can trust that offers the best protection and styling over any of its competitors.

The Recarro seat was VERY simple to install and is very easy to get our daughter in and out quickly....

saps says "Wegmans..yay!" about Wegmans - Amherst, NY

saps — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:46:46 GMT

Wegmans, oh how I love Wegmans. Down in NYC, they have NOTHING that compares. I make a point of coming here when ever I am back in town.

The selection: awesome. Their natural food area is brimming with affordable options and vast selections. Their regular produce is always fresh and they occasionally have local produce. Boxed goods are also reasonably priced.

The to-go food is tasty. Mm. I'd come here on lunch just to savor the goodness that is the Wegman's salad bars.

And yeah, whatever, Tops may be cheaper, (maybe) but it's dirty with a small selection. So shop at Wegmans instead. really do like Wegman's. a lot. it's so clean and they have a great selection.

I think the only thing that's gone unmentioned here is that the prices at Wegman's are steep. the steepest in the area. It's clear that they're targeting a different market of people. You won't find a Wegman's in an inner city neighborhood. They're clean, and even when in the city, they feel suburban.

The prepared foods selection...

Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar

I wanted to see if it was as ridiculous as everyone said.

Namely,

1) you have to seat yourself despite a sign stating otherwise, 2) Food is bad, and 3) It takes a really long time to get your food and your check.

1) We walked in assuming we'd have to seat ourselves. We were half-right. Three (3) different people attempted to seat us. As we walked along, the first person passed us off to another person and said "that woman will seat you" and the second person passed us off to a third. Unfortunately, they fumbled the ball near the end and the last woman walked away from us before we got to a table...forcing us to seat ourselves.

2) I LOVE the menu that aspires to be so much more than a mediocre chain restaurant. PAGES are devoted to explaining the difference between lager, ale, stout, etc. Yet their beer selection consists primarily of bad American drafts. They do have a "specialty and craft" beer category, which contains (I am not making this...

saps says "Olive garden..Woah" about Olive Garden Italian Restaurant: All Locations - Plymouth, MA

saps — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:30:27 GMT

The Olive Garden offers large portions of good Italian food at reasonable though not cheap prices. That pretty much sums up the reason why I grab the chance to eat there whenever the opportunity arises.
Why do I like the Olive Garden so much? Several reasons. First of all, they offer unlimited breadsticks and salad with every meal. Their breadsticks are warm, chewy on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside, infused with a garlicky butter glaze, and quite simply delicious. Their salads almost always use fresh lettuce without any brown spots or wilting and their vinaigrette dressing is tart yet not overwhelming. They're very good about handling special salad requests like no tomatoes and they never whine if you want to keep eating salad during the main portion of the meal or request a refill of the salad bowl.

Secondly, although the decorating is fairly nondescript, I find their restaurants relaxing. The light is low without being dim, the tables are dark wood and generally spaced...

saps says "eraser as its named!" about Sephora Sephora Concealer- Tarte

saps — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 15:37:45 GMT

this concealer just like its name erases and hardly lets the dark circles show up! Its is an excellent prdt, I've been looking for a concealer that does not have a lot of chemicals in it and I found it in Tarte. The range of colors are great. I also have extremely sensitive skin and this product does not irritate. The only thing I don't like about the product is the way it dispenses. I would have preferred a tube.
