Having 13 grandchildren, one of the challenges is, "Where is the baby going to sleep when they're visiting?" We had used play pens over the years as well as the fold away wooden little cribs.  Those can really get in the way to store and put away when not in use.   But recently I have been using the Graco Pack and Play  Play Yard.     It comes with it...

Oriole Park at Camden Yards is a work of art as far as professional stadiums go. It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL. This all baseball stadium is built at the site of the old Camden Yards railway station. The Baltimore & Ohio Warehouse is part of the complex and overlooks the field...this is the longest building on the east coast. The beautiful brick warehouse truly complements the stadium and d...

I purchased the Fisher Price Rainforest Portable Play Yard for my baby. She slept in the bassinet for the first month after coming home from the hospital. It was a lot of space for her to sleep. The bassinet is easy to clip onto the play yard. I never worried that it would not hold her. It holds up to 15lbs.I love that the mobile attaches to the sides and that it is portable. Once she moved int...

  I love my Yard Machine edger.  I was using a Ryobi edger that made my back hurt.  This Yard Machine doesn't give my back any problems.  It is just like pushing a lawn mower.  This edger is very easy to use and gives my yard a manicured look.  It has 3.5 HP and runs on gas.  It has six position depth adjustment. This is easily adjusted by a leve...

This lawnmower can not handle tall grass. You have to go through with a weedeater before you use this if your grass has overgrown some. It runs good and it's comfortable. If your not cutting tall grass then this machine is wonderful for you.  When it comes to mulching this lawn mower works pretty good. The noise is sort of loud. I don't feel that it's louder than others, but th...

I have three dogs: two senior Bichon Frises, and a 3 year old Akita.  All of them dig. If I stop watching them for 30 seconds, a Bichon-deep hole appears.  Their yard, formerly known as my backyard, looks like it's been shelled, with craters everywhere.I've tried every method suggested by my dog trainer, and by Cesar the Dog Whisperer on TV.  I've buried tin foil; app...

I picked these up while shopping for a weekend clean up mission around the house and yard. I bought this brand because it was the largest bags and largest count per box available at the time. One of the first things I noticed is I could shove two of my normal kitchen bags full into this bag with room left over. My other reason for liking these so much is that the draw strings really stay in the...

Want a happy baby? Lay them in a play pen under a tree when there's a breeze- they can watch the leaves swaying gently, watch the birdies flying overhead, watch the hornet as it lands on the playpen and starts making its way down the side- wait, what?!?! Summer is here, and with it come the bugs. Skeeters, hornets, bees, black flies, you name it. If you have a baby under 6 months of ag...

We received this Yard Machine snow blower from my husband's brother as he had health problems and decided to hire a service to do his drive.  It was only used for a couple of winters and we've had it for the last 5 years. Living in Michigan we get lots of snow living close to the lakeshore.  We seem to get dumped on all the time and since our snow blower had died the year...

This is one of the worst products on the market and I will never use it again. The floss is coated with a powdery toothpaste type substance and that's easy enough to get over. It's a good idea so that you don't have to brush and floss in two separate steps and can get some extra toothpaste between your teeth. The problem lies in the floss itself. I used it for a week and got it stuc...

I purchased this fertilizer to help our garden grow healthier. I find that sheep manure is the best for healthier looking plant, flowers and even our vegetable garden.We rotatilled our vegetable garden. Then mixed in this sheep manure. We have always had the best healthiest looking gardens. Our food looks great. We have had family and friends compliment our garden for years. My father...

 Walmart thread is really good. I make quite a few craft projects and this thread has been excellent in a wide variety. It is durable, and easy to work with. The spools that I have cost about eighteen cents a spool at the time that they were given to me. I do like the larger spools. It is easier, not to run out when working on my projects. It is affordable and a very good value. I like the...

Ever since we moved to the suburbs, we've had to deal with this massive lawn. Within a week, the grass grows tall and in a neighborhood where everyone's lawn looks professional, ours was beginning to stick out like a sore thumb.Originally we had been paying workers to do the lawn, but we're not rich and couldn't afford to keep that up very long - that was about $120 a month (how...

When I first purchased this play yard I thought it would be really hard to put together. To my surprise, it was not that hard to put together. Only took a few minutes to put up and take back down. We used this play yard when we go to Kentucky to visit family. It packs up tight so its great for traveling. My son loved all the colors and designs around it. Catches his eyes and gives him something...

Boy oh boy did I learn how active babies can get. And how interested in everything they can be. As soon as my son hit the 6-month mark I realized it was time to get him a play yard or else suffer the consequences (including burned baby hands from the fireplace he so desperately wants to touch!).I began my search with some doubts - I was not liking the play yards I'd seen in the store. They ...

We bought this Rubbermaid Vertical Shed about 5 years ago, to store our fold-up patio chairs.  The chairs had cushions attached to them, (which were not easily removed), so every time it rained I  scrambled to find a place to stash these things!  My husband keeps the garage neat and tidy, and 4 chairs tossed in there did not fit in with his order of ...

  We now have so many babies in the family, my mother decided to buy this Graco Pack N Play for her house.  This is a great Pack N Play.  I have the Graco Pack N Play, but mine is 6 years old.  It is very similar to this one, but this one has some better features.  My pack n play has the bassinet and changing table, but the bassinet is only half the size of the pac...

In all my years of being a mother, I have had never had such a problem with a playpen that I do with my grandson's Graco playpen. Now a days parents want it to where they can fold up everything into a tiny little box and store it away so that it does not get in the way of everyday activities. Well the Graco Pack 'N Play in Safari Friends playpen folds away to almost nothing, but getting...

I asked my husband what he would like as a Fathers Day gift and he had an unusual request. He wanted a leaf blower for the yard. While most people would not see this as an strange request, to me it was since he avoids yard work whenever possible. We have a lawn service that comes and takes care of the mowing and the edging. All the planting, trimming, weed pulling and general up keep is handled...

Growing up I can remember playing washers (along side Bocce Ball) in the backyard at every family reunion, graduation, and summer birthday or holiday. Back then we played with a homemade set, 2x4's nailed to particle board and a PVC pipe in the center. Was it fun? Yes. Functional? Semi. Attractive? Not at all.Fast forward a decade, almost two, and Sportscraft the gaming king of the world co...
