This product is definitely a hit for children ages 2-4.  Probably because this is also the prime age for mess!  These markers are perfect for children to use on their own without a parent having to supervise constantly to make sure their nice wood cabinets, oven and refrigerator aren't blue, orange and green. These markers allow a child some independence in their artwork...

The FP Laugh & Learn Puppy has so many options for infants and toddlers to learn.  Not only can your child learn and practice his or her ABC's, they can also count, play games, sing 10 songs, learn colors and name the parts of a body.  The puppy also has a dog bone collar that lights up to the tune of the music.The age range for this toy is 6 month to 3 years.  I think 3 ...

The VTech Kidizoom Digital Camera was really a great invention.  My children both always want my camera so buying this was a no brainer.  The memory is a perfect size for children who really don't need to store pictures for any long period of time.  The display screen is really no different than the display screens on Kodak, Canon and other various digital cameras that adults...

The Fun 2 Learn preschool center is one of my favorite toys that my child owns.  The best part is, he thinks so too!  It has sounds, lights, letters, numbers, shapes, clock character, instruments, they can write and much more.  The age range for this toy from the manufacturer is 2+ year whereas the retailers recommended age is 2yrs to 7yrs.  I have a 16mth old son who loves ...

This book is a lifesaver.  Literally.  Everytime I hear about a child saving an adults life by calling 911 not only am I impressed, but scared.  Scared that my 4 year old wouldn't be able to do that.  Thanks to this book, I'm confident that in the event of an emergency and my son has to call 911, he will do it successfully!This book was bought by my mother as a gift ...

This product is fabulous!  I used this spray tanner all last summer and got many compliments on my "bronze" look rather than, "Why are you so orange?" comments.  One of the things I love most about this product is that it doesn't scrub off easy.  I use a loofah in the shower and was nervous about using it but I did (although I didn't scrub, I just gent...

Neutrogenas Sunless Foam Tanner is a huge flop!  I bought this before the MicroMist spray came out and it took a couple times before I headed back to Neutrogena's spray.  The smell is awful and my husband would comment about it when I got into bed.  And if you sweat, it's much worse and somewhat embarassing even.  People that have used self tanners before automa...

I purchased my Canon PowerShot A560 nearly a year ago.  I had been told by friends and online communities that this was a good camera and took really nice pictures.  It has a 4x optical zoom and is 7.1 MP.  It used to be that the more MP a camera had, the more expensive it was.  That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.  Now it's how many options each camera has...

I purchased my Motorola Razr V3 about 6 months ago.  I was told I shouldn't get it because of how easy it would break and then listened to all the horror stories of phones in pieces due to being dropped.  I have not had that experience.  Not only have I dropped my phone, caseless, on my driveway 500 times, I have two children who play with it, drool in it, flip it open pushin...

The Evenflo Triumph 5 is a near perfect 5 pt. harness convertible carseat.  Both my boys loved this car seat from 5 months old through 2 yrs old when we upgraded to another brand.  This car seat is very user friendly meaning it installs nicely even for those of us who make their husbands do the installations, normally.  I was so afraid when I had to install this seat for the firs...

I'm sure if you're looking for the rating on this seat, it's because you've heard someone say how great the seat it, how popular it is, how it's the best out there, etc.  I heard those same things so I went ahead and bought two-one for each of my children.I just might stand alone in this opinion but I have to say, I don't get the hype about this car seat.  Is i...

If you're looking to go to Las Vegas and spend time in a hotel that won't bust your pocket book before you even get to Vegas but you don't want mice crawling around either, Bally's may be your place.  My husband and some friends and I all went to Vegas in August 2007. It was about 115 degrees outside however inside our room was much, much warmer.  Their air conditionin...

This product gets a good score from me, for sure!  I've used the Magic Bullet countless times and have owned it for more than 2 years.  I've made plenty of pasta sauce, individual meal helpings and my biggest use was making my own baby food.  With my first son I owned a gigantic food processor.  I had begged my husband to let me buy this gadget after being entic...

Hylands is a product I would recommend to any new mom and have even bought new mothers these and put them in with their newborn gifts.  These are definitely a must have for any parent of a teething child.  Some other products are harder to use because you have to rub it around your kid mouth and it's numbs everywhere you touch.  If you've have your mouth numbed befor...

I purchased this minivan in the Summer of 2007.  We were looking for a van that had the automatic sliding dual doors and Stow 'n' Go.  Both this van and the Honda Oddessy were our choices.  The Honda is definitely more sleek and luxury like.  This van is the closest second.  The Dodge GC SXT drives very smooth, has a lot of room with the third row seating. ...

My husband bought me this perfume for my birthday this past Summer.  Let me say, he did an awesome job too!  This is totally my type of scent.  It smells a bit sweet but not too overpowering.  I actually went through the entire 1.0 oz. bottle in just a couple months.  I received many compliments on it generally from other men (bed my husband didn't expect that ...

Clinique pressed powder is a product that you just can't live without having in your purse.  Whether you're wearing coverup already or no base at all, this powder is just awesome!I first bought Cliniques pressed powder about 7 years ago.  I used a friends one night while we were out on the town and just fell in love with the way is felt and applied.  It was thick but soft...

I've known may people who have used this product however I am/was one of those who didn't wash their face before bed, in the shower, in the morning, etc.  I purchased this product after having a facial and haven't been able to put it down since.  It feels great going on.  It's very refreshing and although rubbing rocks on your face doesn't seem like it would f...

The Avent Isis is a God send, let me tell ya!  I first owned an electric Pump In Style.  While I was pregnant I also bought the Isis.  I decided when I wasn't getting much milk regardless of how much I pumped, I'd try this manual pump that I heard other breastfeeding mothers on message boards talking about.  I found one through Craigslist and paid very litt...

The Evenflo Elan isn't a bottle you hear too much about and it's a shame because it's a really good bottle.  I previously owned the Avent bottles and honestly, they grossed me out.  I used a bottle brush to try and get to the bottom and around the edge and it was very challenging.  There would be a milky white film around the inside.  With the Elan, you can actua...
