About Me: I am the mother to four fabulous children, grandma to a beautiful grandson named Cooper, and I have an amazing daughter-in-law named Amanda. Amanda is the one who got me hooked on Shared Reviews. I have been happily married for twenty nine years this April to a terrific man named David.
We live here at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Come this summer, we will be retiring. I do not yet know where we will be living but I cannot wait to own my very own home and to be able to do what I want to it. Living in military quarters, one cannot do any structural changes to the quarters.
I was educated as a nurse after high school but wound up going into Special Education when my youngest son began school. He suffered terribly with anxiety and seperational anxiety. I went back to school and majored in Psychology. Feeling it would help out., I got a job in my son's school. It helped out a little but he has always had a hard time.
I was glad to get hooked on Shared Reviews as I had to find a way to make a little funny money. Yes, I quit my job to help my son get through school and due to my health problems. I have been having a great time not only writing reviews but making new friends. In my spare time, I love to read, decorate, garden, sew, go flea marketing, spend time with my grandson, chat with others, and think of other items I can write about.
I am a Taurus who can be rather stubborn. I am six feet tall, thin (skinny according to my family,) have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. I need a good haircut as it is almost down to my waist. Fixing up my hair is not one of my specialties. I can fix my two sons hair better than my very own.
Let us see what else there is to tell all about myself. I do not think there is much more. If you want to know more, write me. All I know is that I love writing reviews.
Alright, I caved in! My husband is totally obsessed with tools and constantly is on the lookout to add new ones to his enormous collection. This past summer, he was complaining about having to scrub the wooden deck beneath our gazebo and the fence around our yard.

He was thrilled when he opened up his present and discovered what I had gone out an bought for him.The unit is not cheap but it it has been worth every penny spent plus I ...
How many of us despise shoveling snow? I know my husband does not like doing it nor do I. We live in northern New York and we get a lot of snow during the winter.My husband usually does most of the shoveling but I was concerned about his high blood pressure therefore I bought him this snow blower.We both find this snow blower to be an amazing one. It is easy for either one of us to push, it is great on fuel, and it starts real easy. Best of all it does not put as big a strain on my husband's heart which was a big concern for ...

Are you a diabetic or one who suffers with poor circulation in your feet? I was diagnosed four years ago this February 14th with stressed induced Diabetes !. What a surprise that was. There are many side effects which accompany this disease and poor circulation especially in the feet is one of them. Another one is the fact that we do not heal like regular people do so we have to be careful not to get infections. I only suffer with neuroapathy which involves the nerves in my feet so I have to wear loose fitting socks. Special diabetic s...
When my two youngest sons were moving into a room to share, we were faced with searching for a sturdy set of bunk beds for them. While shopping in the mall one day, we decided to look at This End Up Furniture. We had seen the store before but never ventured into the store. I am so thankful that we decided to go in and look at the quality of the furniture as my sons still have the bunk beds which we bought almost fourteen years ago and they look like new.The beds are made out of a heavy duty pine composition that varies in color. ...
Most of us have those terrible frown lines on our foreheads. I have tried other more expensive products but love this one. The best part of it is that it does not cost hundreds of dollars like most others. The cream has the highest concentration of amino peptide complex amongst all creams on the market today. It also has intra cellular marine proteins within it. Don't be afraid by the low price, it works just as well or even better than others. It works miracles and you do not have to spend a fortune to get results. I have tried it...
How many of us have gone for a ride in a wheelbarrow? I recall riding in one as a child. Those days are gone but not my need for a wheelbarrow. Gardening is a passion of mine and I am constantly adding new plants, adding new dirt, etc. Instead of lugging the various items by hand, my wheelbarrow makes my work a lot lighter and easier. This wheelbarrow provides the individual with unsurpassed handling loads of sand, rock, gravel or whatever your hearts content. A unique feature is that the wheels allow for tipping in only one dire...
Don't throw away your ouside grill just just because it is a little rusty and has paint that is peeling. Be kind to the earth and recycle by repainting it with Rust O-leum's High Heat Enamel.

"Long on Leg Room AutomobileChevrolet Express Van"
We were in the market for a new and larger van for our family of four. I had my eyes on a Chevrolet Suburban so off to the nearest Chevrolet dealer we headed. The salesman led us to a Suburban.

We also looked into the second row and back row seats where once again we were disappointed as there was not enough leg room for our children who are all very tall.While at the Chevrolet dealer, we decided to look at the conversion vans.

Growing up as a child, during the summer months, we went fishing almost every day of the week. My mom was a single mother and worked seven days a week.

My brother and I would go with her on weekends and she would come home for us during the week so we could go fishing.

Let us just say that we needed a new door for our downstairs bathroom. Someone got mad and put there fist through it and produced a hole in it. We needed to repair it as we were having an inspection of our quarters as they are being taken over by a private enterprise. The Army is getting out of the housing business.We looked at the Home Depot site and they did not have any so therefore we visited the Lowes site and found out that they carried them. Off to Lowes we went. We found the aisle with doors and what should appear before ...

I bought my Behr paint at Home Depot where it is on sale ...
My daughter has always been involved in various sporting activities but softball has been her favorite. When she began playing, I noticed that some of the players were using metal bats which improved their hitting greatly. One of her team mates let her try out their bat and she fell in love with it. The bat is lighter and does aid in hitting. She liked it so much that we went out and bought her very own aluminum bat.Easton is well known for their fantastic bats. This one is made out of 7050 aircraft alloy and weighs a 11.5 ounces...
How many of we cooks do not want to have a big mess after roasting in the oven? I know I do not like them.

I found them to be a tremendous help in preparing quick, delicious meals for my family with little time or preparation. They are convenient and ea...
My husband desperately needed a new lawn mower to care for our lawns. I surprised him with this cordless Black and Decker mower. He was in seventh heaven. Yes, it is cordless as it is powered by a volt sealed lead acid battery that allows for trouble free cutting. All my husband or I have to is to flip the switch and it comes on. Another great feature about this mower we found is that the battery is rechargeable to 60-70 percent in four hours and 100% in sixteen hours. It has a 19" mower deck, a mulch plate, and a bag which ...
