Blue Mountain Ski resorts in Collingwood, Ontario is a premier site for those in the northwest Ohio/Michigan area looking for skiing that is not too far but far enough from the flatlands of Ohio. The Chalets of Blue Mountain feature 4-5-6 Bedroom options with a kitchen, 2 or 3 bathrooms and a sauna in the house. We have stayed there 5 times, and love the proximity to the slopes. The slopes at B...

The Lumix 3.7 V rechargeable battery is an effective, high quality battery for your electronics needs. We use this for our digital camera, and bought the recharger to go along with it. It only takes about 6 hours to recharge, and I personally find that that is about average. I find also that the life expectancy for the battery when I use it is high, close to 5 hours or more of continuous use. I...

We enjoyed the pool choices, 3 total with a small kiddie pool as well. Th...

The Hasbro Playskool Busy Ball Popper toy is a great little toy to distract and catch the attention of our little one. We have a 14 month old who loves to play with this toy, you take the colored balls and place them on the track that winds down into the toy, then they are "shot" out the top by a blast of air then they fall back down and repeat the process. This toy is fun, and we enj...

In the series, number 006, Kickball, focuses n our desire to have whatever we need to make u...

The Uniden cordless phone DCT648-3 is a 2.4 GHz cordless phone that we use in our home. It came with three receivers, each with their own charging base to keep them charged and ready to go. The individual phones are great, and my favorite feature is the phonebook feature. I really like this because, similar to a cellular phone, you can get all of your contacts right on the phone. It makes ...

I personally love the elastic grip, they are strong and hold the sides together well, I have never ...

Cutter brand insect repellent wipes are a handy, resealable container that has the cutter brand repellent with deet on it. The wipes are easy to use, wipe on your skin, and you are all set. But there are a few problems I experienced with it. First of all, the wipes are not enough to use one to cover a full adult body with shorts and a teeshirt on. This presents to be a problem since there are o...

I personally love the large screen on the back of the unit, and the buttons are a good size and easy to use.

It is a comfortable muse, but very different from the standard kind the computer comes with.

Verbatim 1GB Flash Drive is a good but not superb flash drive. I use it all the time, mostly to take large music/downloaded files from one computer to the next with ease. The flash drive itself is made out of metal with a rubberized cushion around it. The hook on it is convenient for throwing it on your keys and not worrying about it. The files that are on it are large, and they all so far have...
