I wanted to be able to communicate with my daughter.  I had read severl studies about teaching babies sign language, but was lost on what was the "best" video to use.My friend recommended the Signing Times series Baby signing times.  I started using it with my daughter several times a week when she was nine months old.  She is now a year old and understands very basic s...

Since I was old enough to understand, sports have always been a part of my life. No, I'm not even remotely an athlete. I am a fan. My main interests are baseball, football and college basketball.Like other fans, I have favorite teams and I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm with others. I collect sports items related to my favorite teams and players and my closet is filled with more team t-shirts ...

We 'inherited' this old Coors beer sign from my husband's uncle.  He had a General Store a long time ago, and apparently the sign was  part of the advertisement for Coors beer.  When he closed the store he chucked much of the inventory in an old barn on his property.I'm not sure what the exact circumstances were when he gave us the sign.  It wouldn't...

I bought two stand-up sign holders by OfficeMax for a public event related to my part-time business. I needed something to display our logo and basic product info, and these sign holders turned out to be exactly what I was looking for. They measure 11 inches by 8 1/2 inches, which is the size of regular business paper. The sign holders are made of clear plastic; a paper sheet with whatever info...

I just love decorative signs. I have quite a few of them around my home. This one has the name of my collectibles business on it: "Ribbons and Roses."  I thought it would be a perfect match, because it has hand-painted roses and rose buds on an elegantly shaped thin white wood sign. The edges of the sign are washed in pink, with the hand-painted roses and leaves, and the middle i...

Baby Einstein's My First Signs is a great video to help teach your baby basic sign language.  The video teaches 20 basic signs, like Mommy, Daddy, eat, and milk.  If you watch along with your child, you can learn the signs too to reinforce what the video teaches.  I was able to teach my daughter to sign milk, more, and eat by following the DVD.  The video features Marlee...

Baby Einstein videos are very popular in our house.  I love the concept of teaching a small child sign language before they can talk.  I started showing this video to my child when she was three months old.  She loves the bright colors and the puppets on the screen.  I like the easy way it teaches children basic sign language.  You will learn signs like mommy, daddy, bl...

Olay 7 signs serum says that it fights the 7 signs of aging: The bottle says with VitaNiacin, -diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles -Smoothes skin texture -Evens skin tone -Improves surface dullness -Minimizes the appear...

The Beatles, as I have mentioned before, are my choice of collectables and interest. I have a large variety of collectables, and all of them are special to me for various reasons. But the neon sign I have is unique in its qualities.I recieved this as a gift from a friend a few years back. It is constructed out of glass, and the back of it is painted black. The Beatles, in full 1966 ca...

I have been teaching my 1.5 year old Daughter sign language since she was 4 months old. I first started with "ALL DONE" and went on to the sign for "MILK", but I wanted to teach her more, since she seemed to pick up the few word in sign language I had already taught her. Since buying this book I now communicate with my daughter. Our battles have been about bed times and NOT ...

We received a copy of a "Signing Time" video and our girls fell in love with it. I have seen several other videos for signing with kids but they were quite boring and our kids were not glued to the television. Signing Time was different in that they use alot of sing along songs and visuals to keep the kids engaged. I was very happy and have used this as a tool to expand their signing ...

This is the second video in the baby signing times series.  It sets everyday events to music to keep your childs attention while expanding their knowledge of American Sign language.  Again the songs will get stuck in your head, but my daughter loves to watch this video and sign along.This video introduces the following words: shoe, sock,hat, coat, Please, thank you, sorry, ball, doll,...

Signs was directed by M. Night Shaymalan, who is noted for movies such as The Sixth Sense,  Unbreakable, and The Village. In this film, Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix live on a farm and one day notice something strange has occurred. It turns out there are crop circles on their farm, which are intricate, symmetric designs in the corn/hay fields, and they start to see stories on the news abo...

Signs is another movie in a series of disapointments from director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable) and stars Mel Gibson as a widower and father of two going through a spiritual crisis and is trying to find some direction in his life.  Also starring in the movie is Joaquin Phoenix (Walk The Line, Gladiator) as Gibson's brother, who is easily spooked by the appearance o...

This speed limit sign looks official and was reasonably priced.  Some of my neighbors debated whether to choose 'CAUTION Children at Play', 'Speed Limit 10 MPH', and 'Speed Limit 15 MPH'.   We decided on the 15 MPH because 10 MPH is too slow, and there are only children around occasionally so people would become desensitized and just ignore the sign. We go...

If you've read any of my reviews, then you know that I am a romantic. My house is decorated in a romantic Victorian style, and I have a collectibles booth where I sell items that are girly and romantic. I love hand painted items, and I have quite a few hand painted signs in my home. One of my favorites is this sign with the words, "Sweet Dreams My Love" surrounded by blue hyd...

My husband and I are non-smokers and though we respect anyone else's right to smoke, we don't want them smoking inside our home. Occasionally, someone comes by who doesn't know us well enough to know how we feel about the subject. This cute little sign makes our position very clear without being mean about it.I found this sign at a cute little gift shop that has since gone out of bu...

I am such a bag-fanatic! I have loads of bags in my closet, under the bed, in my drawers, in the chest... everywhere. At one point, my hubby even has to chide that if we ever get hungry again, he'll just take a few of the leather straps and boil them to make a stew =) I know, guilty as can be. What can I do if bags are my best friends?So, whenever I see bags which are quite big to accommoda...

George Brett was and still is my all-time favorite baseball player. He gave his all every time he took the field. He loved the game and it showed. To him, there was only one way to play and that was hard, not like many of the players today who are more worried about their bank accounts than the outcome of their games. I've been collecting George Brett merchandise for most of his c...

My youngest daughter has Angelman Syndrome.  With this disorder comes severe mental retardation.  She is able to understand more of what I say to her, but has trouble getting things back out.  Her school (for special needs children) uses sign language daily.  After doing a little research I found out that babies can even pick up on signs before they can even learn to talk.I ...
