nickina02 I think they are great in colder climates. Being able to warm up your vehicle by pointing out the window, when it's raining or there is snow on the ground is price-less!

nickina02 Yes, I absolutely think that the more expensive brands are better. Obviously the cheaper brands must be a lower quality to be so cheap. And I've known of some cheaper brands upseting baby's sensitive skin. We tried a certain store brand for a little while and...

nickina02 I LOVE to cook. It's hard to say just one thing that is my favorite to prepare. I make a mean spaghetti and meat balls. All from scratch (except the spaghetti noodles of course). But I guess dish I am most proud of would have to be my Beef Enchiladas! Mmmm......
