I purchased the VTech Nitro Notebook for my 4 year old daughter, in the hopes that having her own laptop would give me some quiet time when I was on mine.  The recommended age for the VTech is 5 - 7, however, it is great for children under 5 with a little help and supervision.There are many different activities that come with the Notebook.  You have the choice between English and...

My kids love Playhouse Disney.  I am also a huge Disney fan and find that the majority of the products are very well made.  However, the Mickey Mouse Talking Clubhouse did not fit my expectations. There is a small amount of assembly required, maybe a minute or two.  However, the pieces, especially the slide, fall off of the Clubhouse repeatedly.  The toy is recommended ...

Having very thick, wavy hair has always created a hair styling nightmare for my hair.  It could easily take almost an hour to blow it dry, straight.  Letting it air dry has never been an option as it is not straight, nor is it curly.  My stylist recommended Lazer Straight Relaxing Fluid.  It is a new product on the market, only carried by licensed Salons.  It ...

Right before having my second baby in less than two years, I knew I could use an extra hand around the house, yeah right!  So, I bought the next best thing, a Robot.  Not only any robot an irobot.  My roomba is my single favorite purchase in the past five years.  Nothing has made my life easier!  I only use my old vacuum if I need the hose attachment, for example, durin...

Mineral makeup has been all the rage in the past year few years.  The Jane Iredale line of makeup has been around long before this.  Though this product is only available in spa's or medical centers, I highly recommend locating someone that carries this and trying it for yourself.The makeup is applied by first spraying a fine mist of minerals to your face.  You then brush the...

We have been a customer with Nextel for about five years now.  In our line of work, we have a need for the two-way radio option that Nextel offers.  However, if you are considering switching to Sprint-Nextel, for any reason other than needing the two-way radio, I would not recommend it.We have a contracting business and the majority of our contacts use the two-way radio...

Let me start by saying this is the most amazing product ever!  When I first bought the sweeping irobot, I joked that they needed one that mopped.  When they came out with one that mopped, I had to buy it!The Scooba is a mopping robot.  You fill the chamber with either cleaning solution, that you can buy from Irobot or a mix of vinegar and water.  You turn the&...

I recently began using shout stain remover.  I used to swear by Oxiclean, it was the only thing I would use.  However, I constantly had things soaking in the sink and then would have to wash them immediately since they were wet.  With Shout, I no longer have to soak everything that is stained.  Shout conveinently comes in a spray bottle and you can spray the clothes bef...

My kids have begged for this since seeing the infomercial on tv.  On the ad it shows how to mold it into animals, how to make picture frames out of it and how to decorate other toys with it.  It even comes with directions on how to do some of these things.However, it is not possible to do any of these things.  We tried numerous times to mold the Floam onto plastic toys and a...

We fly once or twice a year and are very lucky to have a very large International Airport twenty minutes from home.  US Airways has a hub there and often, especially flights within the continental US are serviced by US Air.  Our last two flights were on US Air.  As far as tickets, reservations and boarding, I have never had a complaint.  However, our last two flights were de...

I am not usually one to buy from the as seen on tv infomercials.  However, after hearing so many people rave about the Swivel Sweeper, I had to try it for myself.I can not believe how wonderful this product is, it works almost as well as my full size vacuum.  The Swivel Sweeper so light weight  that my 2 and 4 year old use it on a daily basis to clean up their mess...

The Kone is nothing more than your old fashioned dust buster.  However, it is much more attractive and comes in a variety of colors.  It is plugged into a wall outlet so there is no battery to charge.  It can also be tucked away in a corner, out of sight.I purchased the Kone to have something to clean up the small spills that kids make throughout the day.  It is gr...

Spring is here and so is Allergy Season!  I have always suffered from allergies and although perscription medications have become my springtime best friend, none have ever offered relief from congestion.  Mucinex has relieved the congestion symptons associated with my allergies.  I no longer suffer from chest congestion or post nasal drip, even during the highest pollen count day...

After two kids and four years of experience in diaper changing, I have finally found a brand of diapers that does not leak, Huggies Natural Fit.  Any parent can attest to the importance of this!With both my daughter and son, I have suffered not only from the ocassional "explosion" during the day, but a wet and leaky baby in the morning.  Which means not only a...

My father purchased Elefun for my daughter and at first I thought, oh great this elephant is going to spray flowers all over my house, what a mess!  My first impression was not only wrong, I have grown to really like this game.The game comes with four nets for catching the flowers and a blue elephant that needs four "c" batteries to run.  There is a small fan inside the elep...

My 4 year old has asked for this for quite some time.  I was hesitant to buy it for her, because she had already mastered Candy Land and I felt this was a step back for her.  However, her Poppop bought this for her about two weeks ago and I must say I was right, she played this for a few minutes and not again.  The age on the box states for children 3 -6.However, my 2 year old ab...
