I'm 40 years old, and a single mother of a wannabe goth, a bull in a china shop, a drama queen son, and a princess who finds a pea everywhere we go. We've reviewed a lot of kid stuff, and may do so again, but right now we have library cards, not a lot of money, and a ton of black plastic bags to clear out a ton of the old, broken toys we never got around to reviewing.
What Else Do I Do Besides Epinions?
Well, like most moms, I'm a busy, busy person. I definitely don't have time to watch soaps like I always thought I would when I was little. Two of my four children have Sensory Integration Dysfunction, which I wrote about in my Epinion SID: The Hidden Disability, so I spend a lot of time taking them to therapy appointments and working with them at home. (Fellow Epinionator bonniesayers has some great information about SID as well.)
I have a nephew with PDD-NOS/ASD and two kids with Sensory Integration Dysfunction, which is often seen in kids on the autism spectrum. Look for more reviews this month on products that have helped my children and nephew, as well as facts about autism.
The reviews listed below were done for Autism Awareness Month

Autism Awareness Month Reviews 2004 - books, videos, toys, equipment, and sources for online shopping
I'm also very into Wilton cake decorating, collecting Barbies, playing The Sims, and singing. I infrequently post over at Epinion Addicts, and I also spend a LOT of time on the Breastfeeding with Reflux list over at Yahoo Groups, since my two younger children have suffered from GERD.
