Hi All,
Anyone have a wolf steam oven? What are your reviews? Likes dislikes? any input greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Sue, I just ordered a Wolf steam oven this past Saturday, so I'm also looking forward to comments. I did use the steam oven at Clarke Kitchens and loved it. I actually went that day to use the range top and conventional convection ovens. I was making jam on the range top and they suggested I sterilize the jars in the steam oven. It took 10 minutes, rather than boiling them on the stove top - so much easier. I wasn't even thinking of purchasing a steam oven until that day. In the steam oven we also made a baked chicken (which looked and tasted wonderful)and we reheated a pasta dish and stuffed artichoke (both came out very well - much better than a microwave). Of course we also baked bread, rolls and cookies in the conventional ovens, so much fun! Best of luck. |
Thanks Marilyn for the feedback. It wasn't in my plan at all until i saw some demonstrations at a cooking show. WOW!! I don't use the microwave to cook. I only use it to reheat food and popcorn. I am wondering if i really even need a microwave? So when you baked bread, cookies etc. did you just use the convection bake mode only? Could you tell a difference with the outcome as oppossed to a regular electric oven? Thanks again. |
Hi Sue, I have a convection oven now, but I think the Wolf performed better than my Thermador. We used multiple racks at once when baking the cookies and rolls; everything was baked evenly and the rolls were browned on both racks. I can't wait to get my new appliances. I also only heat up items in the microwave but I will keep it. The steam oven does a much better job, however it does take longer and sometimes you just want something heated up quickly. Marilyn |
So has anyone had any experience with the wolf steam oven yet? Mjocean have you received yours yet? |

We tested it as well and loved it. It has so much more room than the Gagg or the Miele due to the water tank location. Not plumbed like the Gagg or Miele. We were set on the Gagg and now back on the fence. We won't order for another month or so but the Wolf is at the top of the list now. |
i think i am going to order the Wolf this week. I am debating on weather or not i need a microwave. |

My wife and I are seriously considering this as part of our kitchen remodel. We went to a wolf/sub-zero cooking demo about a month ago and just loved all the food that they did it in. We did not get to do anything ourselves, but we do love the concept and want to put it in our kitchen if we can fit it in. Phil |
Hi Sue, My kitchen remodel doesn't begin until September 1st as we want to enjoy the summer. The remodel includes an addition and like most renovation projects has grown in scope becoming a 1st floor renovation. I don't think my oven will be installed until December. I really cannot wait to use it the 1st time. Have you made a decision? |
i am going to purchase one. i am super excited. a little out of my budget but i want to afford it. i really feel i will use it a lot. |
Sue, Good for you!! When will yours be installed? I can't wait to hear what you think once you begin using it. |
Hi Marilyn, i am hoping to have it installed by July. I can't wait to start using it. i know it will end up being the oven i use more often than the oven in my range. Thanks for all your posts. If anyone else has a comment, I would love to hear it. |
Sue & other GWs-does the Wolf steam oven take the place of a microwave? The Wolf site says this oven can handle leftovers very well which is the only purpose I have for a micro. Thank U! |

Cooks1818, I went to a Wolf cooking demo and I asked that very question, the answer is yes and no. Yes it can replace a microwave, but it will not be as fast. Think of the steam oven as a slightly faster version of a normal oven. It will not be anywhere near as fast as a microwave. So, it can replace a microwave in terms of the fact that it will reheat your food and do a great job at it, but it will never be as fast as a microwave. We were told a normal reheat for a leftover plate of dinner would be about 15 minutes, give or take in the steam oven from Wolf. Normally that would take me maybe 1-3 minutes in a microwave. Phil |
Thank you, philwojo! I guess I have to find a place for a micro. |

Yea, my wife and I are in the same dilemma we love the idea of the Wolf Steam oven, but are not sure we can live without a microwave. While we don't cook in our micro we do use it for a lot of stuff that we just don't think we could do as easily in a steam oven. That being said we are really leaning toward getting both the Wolf Steam oven and a micro, probably a micro-convection at that just to have yet another small place to cook. But at least going to the Wolf cooking demo we got to ask our questions so we knew better what to expect from the unit. Good luck! |
Hi, We are also going with the Wolf Steam oven and a micro. I agree, sometimes you just want the speed of a micro. |
I think given the popularity of steam oven in general it is a win-win for me. by the time i put left overs in to heat up, set the table, round up the kids, and have them wash for dinner it is easily 20 minutes. the other plus i see is not having to stir the leftovers while its heating up as microwaves, even with a turntable have hot and cold spots. I bet i use the steam oven more than the range as it is smaller. I still think i will need a small micro somewhere. i have gone to two demos and am facinated with what it can do. |
ordered one last week to serve as my second oven and it will be in sometime in early July. Very excited. Most interesting feature to me - bread baking. I bake a lot and I'm excited to stretch my repertoire beyond the dutch oven round loaf. Other things I'm excited by: leftover reheating/refreshing, steamed fish, and testing the oven as a sous vide device (tried it with a Wolf Chef at a store and it was very cool.) fun distractions but not the reason for the purchase. |
We've had ours about 3 weeks and the thing is genius. Heats up very quickly and easy to use. We bought a lot of high end appliances for our remodel and this is by far my favorite and the only thing that seems to do what it claims. I've mostly used it for roasting chicken and veggies, steaming vegetables, and today reheated some pizza that I had previously frozen. if i had to make up something to complain about it would be the cleanup of emptying the water tray and wiping it down. it takes about 30 seconds |
you do not need to have a water line. it is not plumbed. i installed mine 2 weeks ago and love it. i just wish there was a cook book for it. i know they are working on one but can't wait. i have been making sour dough bread on auto steam bake and it is great. just wish my induction would come in. they say back ordered for 2 more months. |
I also went to a cooking demo at our local Wolf SubZ showroom, last week. I already wanted the steam oven but DH was resisting. After the demo he was sold on it too. Yay :) The chefs at the demo pointed out there are 2 things the steam oven can't do that a microwave can: microwave popcorn and heating liquids like a mug of tea or coffee. I still think there will be times I just want to quickly zap something in the microwave so we will still have one in the new kitchen. The fact that the Wolf is not hooked up to a water line doesn't bother me at all, I think the Gaggenau is the only one that is. The Wolf has a larger oven capacity than the Gagg. |

For those who are reluctant to commit to steam oven as it might eliminate space for microwave and not provide function that a micro does: I am purchasing the wolf steam oven. I do use my micro every day; for reheating coffee, melting butter, thawing, etc. My solution is to stash a small micro (13"x12",18") in a 15"deep pantry. It is large enough to accommodate a dinner plate. I was not willing to dedicate wallspace or drawer space for a built in Micro. Can't wait for the steam oven, it should be great fun. Buon Appetito |

Try caplanbooks.com and find their Steam Oven Cookbook. They advertise it is the 1st cookbook with recipes for the steam combi ovens. We just began construction so no steam oven yet. I am loving your comments and can't wait to get our oven. Happy cooking! |

Thanks, Hjscm and Barry! I reeeeaally shouldn't have clicked on this thread. When I thought it had to be plumbed I was almost over it...now I'm looking up the videos about it online :) Does anyone have a price range? |
Madeline, the dealer near me said pricing on the Thermador and Wolf was similar -right around $3,000. |
Hi, I just noticed my comment was posted several times. I'm not sure how I managed to do that, very annoying. Sorry about that! |
- Posted by Madeline616 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 16, 12 at 8:39
Mjocean, happens all the time, especially lately. Not sure how, but some GW glitch puts posts up 2 and 3 times in a row. Thanks, Barry. I'm going to go the showroom to take a look today. Watched the video and read some of the Wolf manuals last night, and it looks like there isn't an option *without* steam. I'd be replacing my everyday 30" wall oven with the steam, leaving me with the oven in my 36" Wolf DF range, which is a bit large for most of my everyday oven use. Any thoughts on whether y'all will be using te steam oven as your "everyday" oven for roasting veggies and meats, baking things like lasagna and Stromboli, etc? (I make Stromboli a lot, lol). I know the manual says it does everytjing, but I'm trying to get a handle on whether it truly functions just like a traditional oven but better, or whether it's more of a specialty oven, to be used only for certain things. Thanks :-) |
Madeline, while there is no regular bake, non convection mode, you can choose convection ( which is no steam ), convection humid, or convection steam. In my mind, it can be a substitute for a regular electric oven, mainly because I have not used mine since I got a combi. While convection cooking can dry out foods more than just straight non convection baking, that really isn't an issue with a combi because you can add a little steam if you are afraid it will come out too dry due to convection. |
- Posted by Madeline616 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 16, 12 at 23:01
Okay, gotcha. I didn't realize there was a straight convection mode. I need to study the online manual a little more closely. Tks, Barry! |
Are there any concerns with using the Steam Oven at high altitude? I will be at 6,500 ft in Utah. Everything takes longer to cook at this altitude, so will the pre-programmed recipes be of any use? Thanks, Lee. |
i would think it would add some time. i have the miele in my house in tahoe at 5,500' and doing something like artichokes takes about 10 minutes longer than here at sea level. i looked at recipe site but it is only the ones in the book. none added. do you know when the new book is coming out? also can't find book at caplans. |
I understand why you can't use RO or distilled water in the steam oven, but why not filtered tap water? We are on a well and have a whole house softener. We also have a chlorinating system and a filter that then removes the chlorine. I'm willing to spend thousands for the oven, yet I don't want to buy bottled water for it. I suppose I could collect my own mineral water from the outside hose bib, but our untreated well water smells & tastes terrible. I would also think it would be harder on the oven & require descaling more frequently. |
@mjocean i found the page and the book but there is no where to buy it. i emailed them but have not heard back thanks |

Well our remodel is almost done, but we have use of the appliances now. I used the steam oven over this past weekend to make a roast using the probe and the roast turned out perfect. We then made some cookies last night and I tried both the steam oven and the Wolf L-series and they both did a great job. Still have a lot of learning and testing to do, but love the Steam oven so far, can't wait to try some bread in it. Phil |
- Posted by Onionqueen (My Page) on Mon, Dec 17, 12 at 22:30
I see you have Wolf steam and L series ovens. This is exactly what we are considering for our kitchen remodel. Did you stack them in your kitchen. If so, are there trim kits available for steam to match 30"? Or 36"? Wall ovens. The steam oven appears to be smaller. |
- Posted by ellessebee (My Page) on Fri, Jan 4, 13 at 23:36
Is the Wolf steam oven worth $800 more than Thermador? That seems to be how the prices are shaking out although I can't get a solid price on the Wolf, just "more-or-less". Is it really worth the extra? |
- Posted by philwojo99 (My Page) on Wed, Jan 16, 13 at 1:28
Ellessebee, I can't comment on the Thermador as I don't have it, but so far we love our Wolf Steam oven. It has been great to use and we look forward to learning more about it and using it even more. Have you compared the two in terms of sizes and features? Phil |
I would not put the steam oven under an island since it will probably see much more use than the regular wall oven. I would want it so I don't have to bend over to use it - though that may be a personal preference. |
Thanks Barryv, I had the same thought. I'm sick of my current look with the stacked ovens, but I guess that really is still the best option. |
- Posted by philwojo99 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 5:33
Marie29, we went with a 30" L-series oven, and wolf steam oven and the wolf micro-convection oven. We put the 30" L-series on the end of our island and it is great there. We then put the steam oven and the micro stacked on one another with the steam oven on the bottom. It seems to have worked out great for us at least. The micro is about at eye level for me, and I'm 6'1" tall. It puts the steam oven at a great level for my wife and I (she is 5'4") and when you pull the door down it is very easy to access everything in it. Phil |
Phil, thanks for sharing your set-up. That sounds ideal; we still haven't drawn up the final plans, so I think we'll change to the same configuration. |
Any news about a cookbook? |
Is there an option to plumb it in? How often do you wind up refilling the water? |

I went to a few high end appliance shops in Scottsdale to look at various steam ovens after doing some research online. I had learned about the Sharp Steam-Microwave-Convection oven while doing my research. What I found out is that 2 employees at one shop and one employee at another shop had the Sharp; they all loved it. After hearing that, I just couldn't justify spending that much money when I could buy the Sharp for $549 on Amazon (it is black, but it has a stainless steal handle and you can buy a built in kit). That's what I ended up with and I'm happy with it. |
- Posted by Spottythecat (My Page) on Tue, Feb 5, 13 at 19:25
We selected all Wolf/Subzero appliances...should move in sometime in October. We decided to put our microwave in our walk in pantry - we really only use it to make popcorn or re-heat coffee. That way, I don't have to pay all the extra money for a built in microwave that costs close to $1,000. I can buy a cheapy for $80 and hide it in the pantry. I didn't want to waste counter top space either. |
Hi Sue et al... Just installed our steam oven yesterday. Just for kicks to check it out, we put a TJ's frozen french style flat bread with caramelized onions and gruyere (almost like a puff pastry style crust). In our conventional wolf oven it is good but oh my, the layers puffed up and the crust was perfect in the steam oven. We used the Wolf Gourmet setting. We are trying chicken tonight. I agree with folks that there aren't many recipes but this thing does a lot of the thinking for you.... So far; so good. |
- Posted by kellyh_2010 (My Page) on Fri, May 24, 13 at 16:16
Hi Phil, If you are still checking this, would you mind posting a picture of your micro and steam stack. I've been trying to figure out how to make it all work together and that sounds like a great option. Thank you! |
If anyone is still checking this, I'd love to know your thoughts after a year or so of owning the steam oven. I am looking at it also. |
We have had our Wolf steam oven since May, and I'm really impressed with what it can do. I've tried several of the sample recipes, and they have turned out well (fish rolls, fish in puff pastry, chicken); it also does rice and baked potatoes to perfection. That said, I do feel that I am not using it to its capacity. The main reason is that it's so hard to find any recipes. I've found some on the miele website, but it would be great if Wolf would develop a cookbook specifically for their product. I've just started trying my own recipes with some adaptations (and crossed fingers!), and now I'm finding that I'm not even using my beautiful new L series wall oven anymore. The steam/convection combination does everything so well! |

Those of you with the convection steam ovens, can they replace a regular oven? I was all set on getting the Wolf range, but am now thinking about a Wolf cooktop + the convection steam oven. My kitchen is small and i have room for only 1 oven. Thanks. |
If you get a combi oven with a broiler, it will do anything a regular oven can do, and more. If you want to bake 3 dozen cookies, they probably won't fit all at once, same is true if you were trying to cook large amounts of food, but the cooking process is the same, only quicker, because it heats up in 5 to 10 minutes, much faster than the oven in my stove. |
- Posted by philwojo99 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 7, 14 at 14:24
I agree with Barryv, the Wolf CSO doesn't offer a broiler though, so if that isn't a deal breaker then you would be good to go. It is smaller than a normal sized oven, but they show that you can cook a 14lb turkey (or something like that) in it. It has racks so you can do multiple racks of cookies or other baked goods at once as well. We use it, by far, the most of any of the ovens we have in our remodeled kitchen. We love our CSO and are so glad we splurged on it. We use it way more than the microwave to reheat stuff now. It does take longer than a micro, but it comes out soooo much better. Good luck, |
Hi, We love our Wolf CSO and it is our " go to" oven. However, I recommend you have at least one "traditional" size convection oven with broiler in addition to the CSO. Best of Luck, MJ |

Hi, we've just launched a new online magazine / store for men.http://www.baxtton.comhttp://www.baxtton.com/store
I will like to have feedback (good or bad), most specifically on :
a. What do you think about the design ?b. Do you like the content ?c. As we are an online store and we try to drive customers to store from the mag, is it clear which product are available in store ?d. other
Any recommendation ?
I really like how the featured and most popular products are set up. I've been looking into doing a store myself sometime, my father in law runs a few zen-carts, and I've created some stores for joomla. This was the first drupal store i've seen and it's sweet.
Thanks for the feedback
i love the style, very unique!The only thing you must change is to increase the font size of the sub-categories from the main menu, it is kind of hard to read on my screen (17-inch)
quick impression from the home page - it looks more like a blog than a store. The design is good. Pretty interesting products and good quality pictures.
This is cool my only complaint is I do not like the magic line navigation combined with the drop down navigation. The magic line is too far from the links in the nav on http://www.baxtton.com/store/en. Search is funky on Google chrome and drops down beneath the divider underneath the divider on click. http://www.baxtton.com/ could use some form sprucing - bigger, more styled forms.
Love the site, its presence is very strong , the logo also, and ive always liked sites/stores that complement the product images in a way they stand out. Great job with this one!
s presence is very strong , the logo also, and i
a. Design is great. No issues here, looks like a big, legit brand.b. I like the content, I see that it is unique and interesting to read. The articles I browsed by read well and were interesting and I like the use of plenty of images.c. I think it's clear that you're a store as you have a link at the top of every page in red, a promo on the homepage and a promo on the sidebar of every article. It's pretty clear to me. What isn't clear are the advantages to purchasing with you or why somebody would. Are you trying to convert casual people who come across your site from search engines into customers? If this is the case I think you may face a bit of a challenge.d. The design is very modern and nice, I really like it. I think all you really need to do is focus hard on branding it and getting your name out there. The site aspect is good, now you just need to market hard and increase your traffic. Hope it goes well for you
superb design man, keep rocking.
Thanks for the great feedback.
You just confirm what I think so we'll work on the brand and be clear about the advantage to buy from us.
Thanks again
My only concern is that not knowing baxtton as a brand, I have no idea what you sell and my first impression was that you were a blog and not an online shop. Perhaps be more obvious ?
I really like the look of the site, the imagery is eye-catching and clear. My only suggestion would be to have some form of slogan or message at the top of the page to suggest that it is in fact a store attached. There is no clear indication on the home page of what you can buy, with more focus on the lifestyle element and news - which is fine. To avoid any confusion, some concise copy might do the trick.
Really like this design. Like the products that are offer and how they are presented. I would like to see customer reviews of the products if possible. Maybe even present the product with the highest review ratings. The overall design gave off the right kind of image...sophisticated, clean, high-end...well done
Unlike the home page, the store page is loading a bit slow. Due to the header image. But that is not a real problem.
Thanks for your feedback
The overall color combination of website is good... 1.) The logo header is blank accept with logo image...2.) The black partition line is too thick3.) You can use Tabs for "Most Recent | Most Viewed" links just to have proper distinguish..
Good feedback thanks
Really like the site, and i really love your logo too, very nice font. The design is very easy to navigate to and from and it's evident what the store is selling. A very nice clean layout.
Thanks for your feedbackReally appreciated

The Mosquito/Litter Control Committee is planning to get the city in the best shape in can be before the opening of the Grammy Museum.
However, the committee has some concerns with homes that are not being kept up properly and essentially damaging the beauty of the neighborhoods downtown.
Some concerns are individuals parking cars in yards, not cutting grass, and blowing cut grass into streets.
"There are some things in town with this Grammy coming in that we need to get working on. There are cars parked in yards, grass not being cut, loose dogs, and just a lot of things," said Bootsie Lyon, committee member.
Citizens may not be aware, but these are all city code violations.
"I talked to Paul Janoush, who is my alderman, about cars parked in yards. That is a code violation, not a police violation, so is the grass," said Lyon.
"I was told that the code violation programs rely heavily on the public calling in and telling them where these things are going on," said Lyon.
According to Article 8 of the Land Development Ordinance for the City of Cleveland, "no parking or storage of vehicles is allowed in the front yard of any property except on the paved driveway or designated hard-surface parking pad."
According to the Anti-Litter Ardinance Section 3, "No person shall throw or deposit litter in or upon any street, sidewalk or other public place within the City except in public receptacles, in authorized private receptacles for collection, or in official City dumps."
According to the ordinance, litter is considered "garbage, refuse, and rubbish as defined herein and all other waste material which, if thrown or deposited as herein prohibited, tends to create a danger to public health, safety, and welfare."
With rubbish being in the definition, it might be beneficial to understand rubbish is "nonpetrescible solid wastes consisting of both combustible and non-combustible wastes, such as paper, wrappings, cigarettes, cardboard, tin cans, yard clippings, leaves, wood, glass, bedding, crockery and similar materials."
This definition includes grass, lawn clippings, sticks, branches, and any other things found in a yard.
Therefore, according to this ordinance, it is a code violation to toss lawn clippings into the street.
If the codes are violated then, according to the ordinances, there is a fine of up to $100 and possible jail time.
The committee plans to ask Cleveland Mayor Billy Nowell to come to the next meeting and discuss the issues of people not keeping their homes and yards up to standards.
With so many people working hard to better Cleveland, and with the Grammy museum being built, committee members say it is important to many that Cleveland holds itself to a higher standard and continue to keep the town beautiful.

A properly functioning liver is vital to health.
What is the liver and how does it function? The liver is your largest internal organ and it performs many functions including detoxification of the body. The liver works by both filtering toxins directly and by altering toxins so that they can be removed at other stages of detoxification. The liver filters toxins from one quart of blood every minute. After the liver processes these endotoxins (produced in the body), exotoxins (from outside the body) and other wastes, they are sent to the kidneys and colon for elimination.
Liver Detox is an easy-to use, two-part cleansing and detoxification program formulated to simultaneously support, protect, stimulate and assist with the body's natural detoxification of the liver with natural minerals, vitamins, herbs and amino acids.‡ Both the Morning Formula (Part I) and the Evening Formula (Part II) contain minerals, herbs and amino acids that promote healthy liver function‡.
Liver Detox includes:
Milk Thistle - an herb used traditionally to support normal detoxification functions of the liver.‡ The strong antioxidant activity of the main ingredient in milk thistle (silymarin) helps promote healthy liver function and to protect healthy liver cells.‡

Feeling Great | (Posted on 6/14/12)
Review by Sue
I was so uncomfortable in my body before using a round of Liver Detox. My muffin roll above the waist and below the bust made it painful to breathe especially when sitting. After research on the internet I realized it was my liver causing the pain, so I began the search for something to help cleanse it. I was lead to this product and found it at my local Walgreen's drug store. After taking it for 30 days I feel so much better! I even lost a few pounds and continue to do so using the Critical Liver Support. I didn't have any side effects. I'm prone to diarrhea and have not had any since taking the Liver Detox and Critical Liver Support. This product was a miracle for me. Thank you Brenda for providing it!
Herxheimer Reactions | (Posted on 6/6/12)
Review by flygirl799
The reason you feel bad before you feel better is due to a Herxheimer Reaction. The body is trying to DETOX the bad out of your liver and if you are very toxic you will have bad symptoms as your body detoxes! It doesn't mean you should stop the detox as much as it means you need it. There are more products you can take that will help with the detox and relieve some of the bad "side effects." Like drink hot detox tea, Alka Seltzer Gold, must be the Gold one. Drink lemon juice in water. Take Capryl, Turmeric, Astaxanthan or other Antioxidants to help your body rid itself of the heavy chemicals clogging up your liver, kidney, fat cells, etc. Do a full body cleanse but make sure you get plenty of electrolytes that do not contain sugar. No gatoraid. Get a little bottle of Electrolytes you can drop in your water, tea or juice.

Review by Denise
I took Liver Detox in February and I noticed my menstrual cycle is functioning better. I also am having better bowel elimination.
This is great! | (Posted on 3/21/12)
Review by Happy lady
I could not believe how wonderful I feel. I'm in my second week and I already feel the difference. Few months ago my enzymes were shockingly out of proportion and I had a terrible time dealing with acid reflux. My doctor prescribes antacids but I knew that was a temporary solution. He knew the live enzymes did not seem right, but he still never mentioned anything about it. After a little research and meeting the medical expert at my local organic store I decided to go with liver detox. I am thankful for my decision as I have not had acid reflux this week. I also feel fresh and energetic. My only symptom at the beginning was having more bowel movements, but after that it has been great.
I'm thinking I will do another month or two of liver detox. Or maybe a full body cleanse. This product is superb. -
Still testing the product | (Posted on 1/30/12)
Review by angelsister
I started taking this due to eye and skin jaundice. The first week I was okay, but once I started the double capsules I became bloated and had severe diarrhea, I also developed hemorhoid for the first time in twenty years.
On another note, the toxins released from my body were amazing, every color but blue and purple. I am hoping my severe side effects are from all the toxins. I have also developed insomnia, but plan to forge ahead with the program.
I think I was so polluted it will take me a few weeks to stabilize. -
Superb product! | (Posted on 11/13/11)
Review by Sherri
I have recently been diagnosed with liver cancer. I immediately started taking the liver detox. The first week, my symptoms were horrible! After a week, I took the 2nd week off. Then I finished the product. What a huge difference! By the third week, all the adverse symptoms were gone. That is the best product around. I read some of the other comments on here. People need to realize that if your liver has a lot of toxins in it, you're not going to feel so hot at first. You may even need to take a week off in between. These adverse symptoms are actually a sign that it is working. I highly recommend this product!
Feel great! | (Posted on 10/7/11)
Review by Delphia
I have finished the Liver Detox and feel great! Have been losing one pound per week since starting the program and that is good, as I have been trying to bring my weight down for some time. Thanks again. I am so glad to have learned of your H.O.P.E.!
very concerned! | (Posted on 9/6/11)
Review by colleen
the first day was fine, the second I lost my appetite my stomach hurt, the 3rd day, still nausious, bloated, diarreha, and feeling achey. I stopped but the 4th day I could barely move. Felt like I was coming down with the flu. The 6th day I was good. Not sure if so many toxins released caused these bad side effects or not for me.
Awfull :((( | (Posted on 8/19/11)
Review by Melodie
I am living a healthy active lifestyle, since using this product, i got bloating, digestion problems, flatulence, disscomfort and overally it was awfull i have 10 days to go but im gonna stop taking it because it seems like others are going through the same thing too. :(
Really works | (Posted on 7/9/11)
Review by Westy
I got some very concerning new about my liver tests. My doctor wanted to recheck me in 8 weeks. That is when I starte using the product. I just got my restesting results and they came back normal! There is no question in my mind this product works. I will most assuredly continue to use.
Amazing Results! | (Posted on 4/24/11)
Review by Amae
I have been getting sick almost twice a month for the past ten years. I just turned 40 and I knew I needed to detox my liver to recover my immune system, but I didn't think this product would do as MUCH as it did! Within a week to two weeks my health completely bounced back. I am no longer on the "verge" of getting sick all the time. I have substantially more energy and have noticed considerable differences in well being.
I intend to do the Heavy Metal Cleanse next and maybe afterwards a Colon cleanse. I'm really excited to continue with as many of these cleanses as it takes to recover my health completely, along with my healthy diet of course.
Highly Recommend! -
Got my knees back | (Posted on 5/29/10)
Review by Diviness
I started off with your gentle cleanse, did that - then did the full detox cleanse, and am now doing the liver detox. I am ordering my 2nd round of the liver detox. It is very effective, and it very mild. I believe it is mild because I used your other products as a phase-in process. With the liver detox my energy has improved tremendously, my body is moving better, my knees have stopped hurting, and so I can walk with ease again. I'm doing a 2nd round to move through the change of spring into summer. Also, I'd like to say that with using the liver detox along with cod liver oil capsules, I have stopped taking all other supplements. These are the ONLY supplements I take and I feel great every day. Thank you for your excellent products. I will be a customer for years to come.
Feel Better! | (Posted on 5/10/10)
Review by Laura
Winters in Fairbanks can be cold and come December the days are dark. As I get older, more time is spent inside. This winter was worse. I only got outside to plow (exercise) once and the dark really got to me. More time on the computer and eating comfort foods. Then my side started hurting bad. It caused so much pain I couldn't even sleep. I started drinking lots of water and made myself move more but it wasn't getting much better.
I went to see Mary at my local health food store in Fairbanks. I told her what was happening and she suggested I try Renew Life Liver Detox. By the third day I was feeling better. By the second week all the pain was gone. I have completed the 30 day Liver Detox program and feel great. When I don't feel good, my attitude is bad. That even turned better !
I recommend Renew Life Liver Detox to anyone looking to give their liver a ReNew-ed Life. -
I feel so much better after cleansing with Renew Life products. | (Posted on 5/10/10)
Review by Renee
I've been using Renew Life products for about 8 years now, and each time I feel great after my cleanse. This time was a really big test. I had some very bad allergies. Well, about one month after antibiotics, I felt like my body went through the ringer. My body ached, my hormones were way out of whack and I was feeling depressed, also gaining about 12 pounds of water weight. I went on the CleanseSmart first, but only half the dose and took it for 2 months, then I went on a colon cleanse (different product), then Liver Detox which I took for 2 months. What a difference!!!! My allergies are almost gone and I haven't been on my Claritin or anything else. Today I just started Total Kidney Cleanse, then I will do Liver Detox again. I also used to work for The Vitamin Shoppe and always suggested your products because I know they work!
Thank You | (Posted on 5/7/10)
Review by Ruth
I used your Liver Detox and found it to be the only supplement I have EVER taken that I saw visible results and felt them as well. As a Naturopathic Doctor I am always looking for intestinal health products that work. I am looking forward to trying some of your other supplements. Thanks.
Thank You | (Posted on 5/6/10)
Review by Earl
A few months ago I had lab work done at my doctor's office as a routine check up. He called me the next day with some really bad news. He said my liver enzymes were so elevated that he was sure that if I didn't quit drinking beer right away that I was sure to get liver disease. I went to my local health food store and told them the situation and they recommended Liver Detox from Renew Life. I took it as directed for one month and had the lab work repeated. He called me back this time and told me he had never seen my numbers look this good in the ten years that he was my doctor. Everything was in the normal range. He was astounded that I used an herbal product and got these results!! Than you so much for making this available. I will use it again periodically from now on.
PS I didn't stop drinking and still got these results.
Feel like a brand new person | (Posted on 2/10/10)
Review by Nichol
I must writ to say how grateful I am for your miraculous product. I am a recovering addict and alcoholic, so I desperately needed to detoxify. After only two weeks on Liver Detox, I felt like a brand new person! So much of my life has been restored to me; I am physically, mentally, and emotionally a different person. It is crucial that those in recovery know of your product. Thank you!
Liver Enzymes Dropped | (Posted on 2/9/10)
Review by Keith
I recently did your Live Detox due to liver anomalies, high enzymes and upper quadrant discomfort that baffled doctors for some time. I did two cleanses, with a month between and after the second cleanse I had the test for liver enzymes done and my enzymes dropped to normal readings from almost triple the numbers 2 months earlier. My hats off to you, I watched my diet, began an exercise program and took your cleanse.

The Flower Collar:
Material: Faux leather, metal
Care: Wipe with a damp cloth
Brand: LazyBonezz
Lazy Bonezz has everything you need to keep your dog stylish and comfy... and get you organized. Start with the basics, like a cushy dog bunk bed, scratch pad, bowl, and feeding dishes (all in sizes befitting your pooch). Then move on to one of Lazy Bonezz's collars — from bowties to harnesses to bejeweled skulls-and-crossbones, they'll make your pooch runway-ready. Complete the picture with one of the storage boxes and bins — they're cleverly designed to corral a plethora of chew toys. Lazy Bonezz was founded in 2008 by Adrienne Shamie and her daughter, Lorraine – a highly motivated, pet-loving design team. They teamed up with Simmons Kids, a manufacturer of children's furniture, to make their dog furniture as innovative and safe as possible, while still being bang-on-trend. Celebrities agree: Carmen Electra, Kristin Chenoweth, Michelle Trachtenberg, Kelly Osbourne, Serena Williams and the Real Housewives of New York are all fans of the pooch-pampering multi-storey dog beds, collars and accessories. A particular favorite is the Metropolitan, a 4-step pet bunk bed in a fetching shade of espresso.

Feds believe Jesse Jackson Jr. got tip about probe into his finances

Federal authorities believe Jesse Jackson Jr. was tipped off to the federal investigation that ultimately contributed to the demise of his once-promising career.
Sources with knowledge of the probe told the Chicago Sun-Times that investigators believe Jackson had learned of the federal scrutiny of his financial activity prior to his June 10 leave from Congress.
The sources said it didn't necessarily mean the tip was from an investigative source, saying it was possible the congressman received a tip from someone who was notified about the probe, possibly through a subpoena.
While Jackson, a South Shore Democrat, eventually released information concerning his health, he did not publicly disclose he had knowledge of the federal probe until last Wednesday — the day he submitted a resignation letter to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner.
Though he took a leave from his post on June 10, Jackson did not reveal his absence from Congress for two weeks. Then, just before a filing deadline for possible opponents in the Nov. 6 election, his office issued a three-sentence release saying he had been absent because he suffered from exhaustion.
Jackson did not disclose his whereabouts until the Sun-Times reported earlier this year that he was admitted to Mayo Clinic.
The clinic later released a statement on behalf of the family, indicating that he suffered from bipolar depression.
"During this journey I have made my share of mistakes. I am aware of the ongoing federal investigation into my activities and I am doing my best to address the situation responsibly, cooperate with the investigators, and accept responsibility for my mistakes, for they are my mistakes and mine alone," Jackson wrote in his letter.
"None of us is immune from our share of shortcomings or human frailties and I pray that I will be remembered for what I did right. It has been a profound honor to serve the constituents of Illinois's Second Congressional District."
The Sun-Times first revealed in October that Jackson was under federal scrutiny in a financial probe unrelated to the Rod Blagojevich scandal.
Information has previously surfaced suggesting that Jackson had knowledge about a federal probe before it was made public. That happened in 2008, when then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich was under investigation. Secret recordings indicate that Blagojevich believed Jackson promised — through emissaries — $1.5 million in campaign contributions if Blagojevich appointed Jackson to Barack Obama's newly vacated U.S. Senate seat.
While the probe into the Senate seat was still secret, Jackson allegedly called a donor and friend, Raghuveer Nayak. Nayak told authorities that after Jackson directed him to make a money offer for the Senate seat to Blagojevich.
Then, weeks later, Nayak told authorities that he later received a subsequent communication from Jackson. Nayak said Jackson called to warn him off of making a pay-to-play offer with Blagojevich because there was a federal investigation into the U.S. Senate seat selection. A second person, Rajinder Bedi, told authorities that back in November 2008, Nayak called him to relay his conversation with Jackson about an ongoing probe, the Sun-Times has reported.
The statement to authorities suggested that Jackson learned of an investigation even as he was a possible target of scrutiny for the government.
On Tuesday, Jackson's attorney Dan Webb, could not be reached for comment.
Federal authorities as recently as two weeks ago where still examining Jackson's finances — a review that has included activity involving Jackson's wife, Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th). Broad, sweeping subpoenas were issued in the Jackson investigation, including to financial institutions that controlled Jackson accounts both in and out of Washington, D.C., the source said.
The Sun-Times also first reported that Jackson was attempting to negotiate a plea deal. Jackson's attorneys — which includes Reid Weingarten in Washington D.C. and Webb in Chicago — last week for the first time publicly confirmed that he was cooperating with authorities and attempting to find a resolution, something that could take months.

1. The 1920's were a time of change in the United States. For the first time in history, more people were living in cities than in the country. The United States was also more wealthy than it had ever been.2. The first movie theaters, called palaces, opened in 1915 in New York City. Historians estimate that by the end of the decade, three-quarters of the American population visited a movie theater every week.3. Prohibition occurred between 1920 - 1933. This period of time was when the Eighteenth Amendment was in force and alcoholic beverages could not legally be manufactured, transported, or sold in the United States.4. Prohibition gave criminals a way to illegally make money. Gangsters, men who worked in criminal gangs, began selling alcohol on the black market. They were also involved in many other criminal activities. The most notorious gangster in American history was Al Capone in Chicago.5. In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gave women the right to vote, and declared that they deserved full citizenship.6. A young woman emerged during the 1920's who was very different in her appearance, attitude and behavior. She was called a flapper. She had bobbed hair and short skirts. She behaved in ways that many people called unladylike.7. Henry Ford was an American industrialist who revolutionized factory production with his assembly-line methods during the Roaring Twenties. The most important consumer product of the 1920s was the automobile. Low prices (the Ford Model T cost just $260 in 1924) and generous credit made cars affordable. In 1929, there was one car on the road for every five Americans. Motels and gas stations were created to serve the needs of this new mobil society.8. There were other greats musicians playing music at the time, but Louis Armstrong is credited with putting Jazz on the musical map. The 1920's and 1930's became known as the "Jazz Age".9. During the 1920's, people had extra money to spend. They spent it on clothes (prior to this time most clothing was made at home) and appliances like refrigerators and washing machines. People also bought radios. The first commercial radio station was Pittsburgh's KDKA. It hit the airwaves in 1920. Three years later, there were more than 500 stations in the nation. By the end of the 1920s, there were radios in more than 12 million homes.10. The 1920's came roaring in with energy, but ended in horror with the crash of the stock market in 1929. Many people lost all the money they had and unemployment soared. This time marked the beginning of the Great Depression.

AURORA — Last year's record-breaking season at the Paramount Theatre doesn't appear to show any signs of slowing down.
The heart of Aurora's performing arts scene sold more than 80,000 tickets last year — the theater's best sales in decades — thanks to Broadway-scale productions beautifully staged in the historic Art Deco theater.
And while the Paramount's directors have promised even more spectacle and drama for this year's Broadway series, which opens with "Grease" on Sept. 12, there's much more in store.
The theater's full lineup, announced Thursday, promises a long list of A-list music legends, nationally recognized comedy stars, incredible tribute bands and spectacular family-friendly shows to keep the crowds flocking to downtown Aurora.
Musical acts cross nearly every genre and include country star Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas; the folk-rock duo The Indigo Girls; a Valentine's Day concert by the love balladeer Bobby Vinton; a disco-era tribute show Stayin' Alive: One Night of the Bee Gees; and '60s rockers The Ides of March and Herman's Hermits with Peter Noone.
The Paramount's 81st season celebration begins Aug. 24 with even more of the '60s greatest stars. The season kick-off bash in the grand gallery will be followed by the Happy Together Tour, with Flo & Eddie, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, The Buckinghams, The Grass Roots and Micky Dolenz from The Monkees.
Comedians also top the bill this year with stand-up comic Rodney Carrington, an election year visit by The Capitol Steps and a one-night-only visit by William Shatner in his one-man show Shatner's World: We Just Live In It...
Dance from STOMP and Aurora's own Ballet Folklorico Quetzalcoatl round out the season.
"Add a full roster of children's entertainment and the Paramount will be presenting one of the most diverse entertainment line-ups in all of Chicagoland," said Paramount Executive Director Tim Rater.
Of course, the real buzz surrounds the Broadway series and whether it can top the productions of its first year. Already, more than 13,000 subscribers have signed on for "Grease," "Annie," "The Music Man" and "Fiddler on the Roof." "Annie" will have an extended run this year leading up to the holiday season.
The 2012-13 Paramount season is sponsored by The Beacon News/Sun Publications, Paramount Arts Centre Endowment and American Airlines.
Tickets to the Paramount's regular season go on sale next week. Current Paramount subscribers get first dibs on tickets and the best seats through June 8.
On June 9, the Paramount will hold a New Subscriber Pre-Sale. Theater-goers will be able to purchase a minimum of four shows, including general season and Broadway series shows, and receive at least 5 percent off single tickets and the best remaining seats.
Single tickets to individual shows go on sale June 11 at 10 a.m.
Tickets are available in person at the box office, via phone at 630-896-6666, or online at ParamountAurora.com. The New Subscriber Pre-Sale is by telephone only.
Subscriber benefits
Subscriber benefits this season include deals for those who purchase seats at four or more shows.

Fall of Giants is Ken Follett's magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families—American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh—as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.
Thirteen-year-old Billy Williams enters a man's world in the Welsh mining pits…. Gus Dewar, an American law student rejected in love, finds a surprising new career in Woodrow Wilson's White House…. Two orphaned Russian brothers, Grigori and Lev Peshkov, embark on radically different paths half a world apart when their plan to emigrate to America falls afoul of war, conscription, and revolution…. Billy's sister, Ethel, a housekeeper for the aristocratic Fitzherberts, takes a fateful step above her station, while Lady Maud Fitzherbert herself crosses deep into forbidden territory when she falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German embassy in London….
These characters and many others find their lives inextricably entangled as, in a saga of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, Fall of Giants moves seamlessly from Washington to St. Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty. As always with Ken Follett, the historical background is brilliantly researched and rendered, the action fast-moving, the characters rich in nuance and emotion. It is destined to be a new classic.
In future volumes of The Century Trilogy, subsequent generations of the same families will travel through the great events of the rest of the 20th century, changing themselves—and the century itself. With passion and the hand of a master, Follett brings us into a world we thought we knew, but now will never seem the same again.
Exclusive interview: Ken Follett and John Lee Talk about Fall of Giants.
©2010 Kevin Follett (P)2010 Penguin Audio
"A big Book, Follett''s hugely ambitious saga is a sweeping success. Ken Follett has hit another one out of the park with the initial installment of the hugely ambitious Century Trilogy. His fans will rejoice at the richness, complexity, historical sweep and simmering lust in a saga spanning the years 1911 to 1923." (Newark Star Ledger)
"A dark novel, motivated by an unsparing view of human nature and a clear-eyed scrutiny of an ideal peace. It is not the least of Follett''s feats that the reader finishes this near 1000-page book intrigued and wanting more." (Chicago Sun-Times)
"[Follett] meticulously reconstructs an era and leads us through the follies and occasional heroics of its protagonists real and imaginary. He is masterly in conveyers so much drama and historical information so vividly...Grippingly told, and readable to the end." (New York Times Book Review)
"Ken Follett and John Lee / Audible's Dream Team"
Ken Follet is a master. His books are modern day classics. Well researched and written a joy to experience. John Lee has to be the best Narrator in the business. He could make a dryer instruction manual sound interesting. In Fall of Giants, as in his other works, Lee's consistency and character distinction are impressive indeed. Where this complex and intertwined story line with numerous characters would have been a disaster in another's hands in Lee's capable grasp the story unfolds clearly and beautifully. A book to savor.
"Loved it and learned alot."
I must admit that I was put off by the negative reviews I read. I listened to it anyway and loved it. With good characters that I cared about it is a very easy read. What I was amazed at was how little I learned in school about WW1. I think you could easily teach a course based on this book. I went to the internet constantly to learn more about incidents that were mentioned in the book. I could not put it down.
This is a wonderfully plotted and scripted story that tells the tale of the events of the early 20th Century that set the stage for all that followed over that 100-year period. Ken Follett gives us the history as told and illustrated through his great and varied group of characters. Follett's fine writing and the great narration by John Lee entertainingly bring to life a period that is often misinterpreted when looking back through that period. I can hardly wait to see where Follett's characters take us as part 2 leads us into the post-Great War decades.
"Great story about World War I"
I had been looking for a good story that also explains how WWI came about, and found it in "Fall of Giants, Book 1". This was my first Ken Follett book, and I really enjoyed the way he tells a story and explains history at the same time. It moved right along and didn't get weighed down in elaborate descriptions that take forever to get through. Yet, he describes things well . . . I really had a good picture in my mind of the characters, scenes, etc. It is true that the main characters reconnect with one another throughout the book in ways that are somewhat unbelievable. I was forgiving of Follett for this because he is such a good storyteller. However, I do hope this feedback reaches the author so he can work on improving this one weak point. Despite this, I still give it five stars. In fact, I liked it so much that I read it twice before moving on to a new book!
"As Good As POTE and WWE"
Pillars of the Earth was the first novel I downloaded from Audible. I have re-listened to it and World Without End dozens of times and never seem to tire of them. I can see myself doing the same with Fall of Giants. There are many characters in this book because they are necessary in order to give the perspective of all the countries involved in the First World War. I feel the characters are given plenty of depth and like the other two massive tomes, this is certainly another page turner.
I imagines it would take me at least a week to listen to this book, yet I find I'm halfway through the third part after only two days. The purpose of this book is to tell a very complicated story, well enough to keep the reader wanting more. It would be so easy to get bogged down in rhetoric or politics when writing a book like this, yet Follett's writing is clear and concise, without unnecessary embellishments, descriptive enough to captivate readers with its plot and characters. Certainly worth every minute!
"Memorably Epic"
Yes, I will listen again because the book is filled with engaging characters, sweeping history and seamless integration of different characters.
Billy Williams because he is such a good person.
I liked John Lee's ability to give life to the characters in this story.
The Rise of the Poor.
A few must reads: Mr. Mercedes, Narrows Gate, Cop Town, Bomb Proof, Wayfaring Stranger, The Son (Nesbo), Dept Q series...
"Its Worth The Credit"
I believe I have read or listened to each one of Follet's many novels. In my opinion, he is one of the best storytellers of the 20th century. This novel is no exception. Well researched and rich in the history of WWI, The Fall of Giants exposed my woeful lack of knowledge of that time period and, in particular, the events leading up to as well the the aftermath of the great conflict which ultimately led to WWII. I loved every minute of this book.
The characters are well developed and engrossing. However, there are always common and extremely shallow themes one finds in virtually all of Follet's fictional works. He is obsessed with sex and always, without exception, reveals his heroes' sex lives as virile and unabashed, while giving his villains deviant and sadistic sexual drives. Also without exception, he presents religious figures, priests in particular, as either gay or pedophiles. In reality, even at the height of the sex scandals involving priests, the guilty ones made up less than 2% of the priestly population. But Follet insists on vilifying anyone and any institution that promotes righteousness.
His extremely liberal political views have yet to taint his novels, but I fear his disdain for more recent prominent conservative figures, (he called Margaret Thatcher one of the world's truly evil leaders on NPR in 1994), will make me uneasy in the final novel of this trilogy.
"Good Groundwork for a Trilogy"
I am amazed at the number of critics who gave this book a poor review and then COMPLETELY missed the boat as to WHY it might be labeled a poor effort!
Most of the critics I saw referenced poor character development, which by the way utter HOGWASH. The vast majority of the book is devoted to character development - and masterful character development at that.
While the book does plod along at times, I believe it was clearly Follett's intent to do so as he sets the stage for parts 2 and 3, with exhaustive character development in this initial offering.
Secondly, a good number of critics attack the fact there are no significant villains in this story. Again, the reviewers not only missed the boat, but they let the oars bounce off their collective noggins with those comments ;)
There are several MINOR characters who are evil and or malicious, and most of them due to their incompetence and/or inexperience as wartime officers. These characters, from an overall perspective, along with the WAR itself, are the evil antagonists of the book - and again, positioned and developed quite well by Follet.
Lastly, whomever would label Ken Follett's work in its entirety as anything other than fine literary work is simply opening mouth and inserting foot with a feeble attempt to boost their ego with braggadocio that simply proves they have no idea what they are saying.
In summary, it's a good start, but whether or not it develops into a good trilogy is yet to be seen. As a standalone product, it will rate poorly. Clearly we really have no idea if it will rival POE and WWE at this point. So far, I am guessing "probably not"; but if I had to guess, I'd say it's still probably going to be worth the time and money.
"Wildly entertaining and educational too"
I primarily listen to books on tape as I jog or take a long car trip. With a work like this, I am sorry when my exercise or trip is done. Mr. Follett is a master story teller, and if some complain about his politics, they are missing the point of this entertaining and gripping book. I can hardly wait to read the next in the trilogy. The reading by John Lee is a perfect complement to the book.
"Really enjoyed this book"
This was a good listen. I got very involved with the characters and look forward to the next book. Yes sometimes it was predictable and trite but for someone who really loves historical fiction, this was a treat.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Well this certainly isn't going to put Taylor Swift's mind at ease.
Taylor recently told Cosmopolitan UK that she has a stalker problem but that she tries to ignore it. She says, "I get nervous when I have stalker incidents. I try not to talk too much about it because it scares me. Sometimes you get a dude who kind of wants to steal you. That's why I'm so grateful I have people looking after me, like [my bodyguard] Dennis."
Now comes word from TMZ that a 24-year-old man was arrested at one of Taylor's Nashville homes early this morning after he jumped the fence.
TMZ reports that Jacob Kulke was arrested at 1:45 AM, telling police that he had ridden the bus from Wisconsin so that he could spend Taylor's birthday with her, which was on Thursday.
Luckily Taylor was spending her birthday in the UK with her current boyfriend Harry Styles at the time.
When police arrived, Kulke told them he was the boyfriend of the homeowner and had been in contact with someone at the home via social media. He was arrested and held on $10,000 bond.
According to TMZ, Kulke has a criminal past having been convicted of battery, disorderly conduct and drug possession in Wisconsin back in 2010.
Wow. So scary. Might be time to not only have bodyguards, but have a couple of really big and burly guard dogs to patrol the grounds of her various homes, preferably ones that have a taste for human flesh.

This fun activity will help to develop your child's hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as they as they put pen (or crayon) to paper and get creative. The more your child practises colouring in, the better they will become at gripping a pen and making precise (and less scribbly) movements on the paper.
How to extend the magic
Why not get your child to practise their scissor skills (also good for perfecting their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills) by getting them to carefully snip around the picture on the colouring-in sheet? You could mount some of their best efforts on some coloured card and display them in your kitchen or on your child's bedroom wall.
