I love this slide/climber. I was lucky enough to get this for 25.00 at a yard sale a few years ago. My daughter used it for a couple years. As it is the perfect side for  little climbers. I would say around ages 2 until there motor skills get well enough to use a bigger slide. My daughter however was able to use the stairs on this at age 1 1/2. Each child I would say varies to their abilit...

My son has always been a little daredevil.  From the time he learned to crawl I have followed after him.  My friends can sit around and chat at playgrounds but not me!  As soon as my back is turned he would do something to give me yet another gray hair :0)  Anyway, when we decided to build him a playground in our backyard, I knew that I wanted a tube slide.  We looked a...

We have two of these Crestline two-panel sliding patio doors in our house - one in the living room, leading to the deck and back yard, and the other one in the kitchen / dining room, leading to the side deck. The design we chose is similar to that of our windows, also by Crestline: wood on the inside and vinyl on the outside for low maintenance.The patio doors look neat and stylish. They open a...

Because I live in the south we experience warm weather most of the year.  While you can't use water toys year round when the weather is warm enough you'll be glad that you own them.  This summer was a scorcher and my children were so happy when their favorite aunt bought them the Spiderman Slip and Slide.The Spiderman Slip and Slide is similar to the slip in slides of the earl...

I grew up in South Florida and every home we had down there had at least 1 sliding glass door. If we were ever locked out of the house, the first door we would try to get into was one of the sliding doors because they could be easily shaken and pushed off their tracks. My father used to take broom stick handles and put them down on the bottom tracks to keep the door from pushing open as easily,...

I had heard people talking about Crocs for years, but I never tried any of their shoes on for myself to see what all the hype was about. I also thought their clogs with the holes in them that come in the loud colors were a bit silly when worn outside of a pool or garden. I couldn't resist these, however, because of their color. They weren't too expensive, but when I received them I was ...

                   I was shopping for groceries last month and passed  a shoe display in the aisleway. These shoes were positioned in the right spot for me to see as I was moving toward the groceries. They caught my eye. I have so many shoes and really did not need another pair. I love shoes and purse...

My 17-month-old received the Little Tikes Easy Store Large Slide as an early Christmas present from his grandparents. He is obsessed with slides right now and while we live near a playground, it's getting colder and he was literally standing at the door saying "slide, slide" over and over when it was just too yucky to go out. His grandparents gave him this last weekend and he'...

Sldie and Find ABC is a sturdy boardbook with a built-in handle made for toddlers age 2 and up. It uses real photographs (not illustrations) combined with bright colors to keep their attention for a long time. What makes this book unique is the "sliding" feature. The letters have a little plastic sliding door with a picture of the letter of the alphabet on it and a question ...

The Women's Leather Sport Casual Slides by Lands End are an adorable pair of slides. They are new this Spring of 2008, and I think they will be very popular.The are very comfortable and stylish too, they look really cute with a pair of shorts or capris. I like the color selection, in addition to the traditional brown and black, this shoe also comes in a red, mint green and light blue. Very ...

We bought this screen door to replace our old one, which was torn thanks to our dog scratching at it to be let it.  We weren't looking for anything fancy- just a plain screen door, so that we could open the glass door when the weather nice without letting bugs in.  We picked this one from Lowe's, mostly because it just about the only that we could find. It does come in 2 ...

After cleaning up half boxes of spaghetti noodles off the floor for the millionth time, I really wanted something that kept our children out of our pantry.  Keeping our cleaners and heavy pans away from our little ones is even more important, and prompted us to purchase a sliding cabinet lock. This lock goes arond over the two handles of adjacent cabinet pulls and has a sliding mechanism t...

I think every one over the age of 25 years old can remember the Slip n' Slide. Now days they make fancy water slides with characters on them. We tried some of them when my son was younger but they just didn't seem to have the ability to really get a good slide going. Last summer we were over at my aunts. She said she was at the store and off a slip n' slide that was only $10. We wer...

I remember having a slip n slide water slide when I was eight years old. I used to run across the yard, do a belly flop onto a wet piece of plastic and slide down its watery length to the end, where more often than not, I kept sliding a few feet. Oh, the grass burns I recieved and yet, I couldn't wait for it to be my turn again! The water slides of today are different than they used to...

While at its core the Hiptop Slide is a mobile phone, it's the additional communications abilities that will have the strongest pull to a younger market. Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger are given dedicated space in the top menu. Standard SMS and MMS functionality is extended with push e-mail. In addition, exclusive carrier Telstra has partnered with MySpace to include a mobile ve...

Staples Slide Grip Report Covers are great for holding reports and other info up to 20 sheets.  I'm not certain what the cost was, as I purchased these a while ago, but I know they are relatively inexpensive.  You get 6 clear plastic folders with slide grips that slide onto the left hand side of the folder.  Each folder will hold up to 20 letter size sheets, but I have f...

Do Not Buy..... This sliding door lock doesn't fit all sliding doors, even though it is recommended by Parents Magazine and Child Safety.  It was suppose to provide child resistant security for the glass sliding doors. You are suppose to be able to open from the outside using the knob on your door.  Inside you can manually secure the door, preventing the door from being ...

I was so excited when we moved into our new home because it had so much MORE cabinet space than our townhouse.  Unfortunately, once I began to organize my kitchen I soon found that quite a bit of my cabinet space was either too high for me to reach (I'm vertically challanged:0) OR too deep to get to the back of and stuff got lost in the depth!So, I began to research what I could do and...

The Little Tikes Climb and Slide Castle is a great toy for toddlers.  The Castle has one side that is like a mini rock climbing hill.  The other side is a slide for coming down out of the castle.  Tunnel-like openings allow the toddler to go under the castle, creating a special hiding spot.  The top platform of the castle features a wheel that turns.  We were unable to ...

The LG chocolate phone was one that i was really excited to get my hand onto. I thought its sleek sliding designs was really cool. Well, let me start on the cons of this phone. When i bought this phone, i also got a service plan to take care of the phone, just in case it broke. Well the buttons broke and stopped responding within the third month. This phone also doesn't have any free games ...
