TOS Crew 2009-2010 Favorite Review items(Before My 1st review for 2010/2011)








 Hello, again~ 

After a little hiatus from TOS Reviews, I decided I needed to get this little post done before jumping in to the 2010/2011 Review year. The TOS Crew voted on their favorite products in a number of categories, and the following is the result. Because my opinion varied on a number of them, I included my family's choices as well. The links for "my choice" lead to my reviews of the items, the links for the "Crew Choice" lead directly to the item website. I hope that this list is a useful "summary" as you continue to gear up for the new school year. 

Blessings~

  1. Wow! That was very interesting! You reviewed A LOT of stuff last year! Do they take a poll each year to see what the Crew's favorite is?

  2. We had a TON of reviews last year. This year should be a little bit slower, with the two different crews/ages/limits on the number of reviewers per product.

    The 1st year a bunch of us did our own "top 10 or 20" lists, and this last year was the first year that we did the "All-Crew" awards. I'm guessing that they will do that again this year. :)

  3. Just now seeing this post as I 'crawl' through the blogs. I love how you compared your favorite to the Crew pick.
