Learning Success Review + Giveaway



I have two daughters with a bit of a delay in learning and this program could not have come at a better time. We had really thought about just pulling the girls out of school to home school, but for now I am going to give this a whirl. They say you should start seeing improvement within 3 months. I am a little over a week into the program. 

At first they start you off with setting up a notebook so that you can keep track of the lessons they will send you. After about a week of getting your book ready and getting used to what you can work into your schedule you will start to receive lessons to download and do with your child.

Don't worry the program teaches you to teach your child so you won't be left wondering what to do. This I like. I have home schooled before, and it went wonderful, so you don't need to know how to home school to take advantage of this program, you can fit in daily lessons around your schedule. 

Some children are able to catch up and be at grade level in about a 3 months and some take longer depending on how far behind they are from their peers. I have two very energetic girls left in our home that want to play after school, and don't always tell me when they have homework. If you are like me with the new Core, you might not even be able to help them with their homework and this makes it frustrating for everyone. 

With Learning Success I am able to help my child in areas that I am able to and the school is left with teaching the Core, which often comes with no directions for the parents to be able to help their child. I did talk to our school and was told about a site that could help me understand the Core, but to be honest the Learning Success system fits better within my time constraints. 

If you are like me, having a busy family then this might be something you would like to try out with your child. The site even has a place where you can test to see if you child might have a learning disability. Awesome I know but remember always check with your Dr. before just assuming your child has a learning disability, it is only a test and something that will need to be followed up on if you believe your child has a learning disability. 

I am looking forward to helping my girls achieve what their hearts desire, and Learning Success is helping me do that. 


What Learning Success has to say bout their program

Is your child having trouble in school?

The learning success program is a simple do-at-home program that will show you how to find the core problems and overcome them. Learning is made up of basic core skills. There are 16 of them in all. Typical learning difficulties are small weaknesses in a combination of two or three of these skills. Helps overcome learning difficulties such as:
  • Dyslexia
    Dyscalculia
    Dysgraphia
    ADD/ADHD
Each of these terms simply means that there is a weakness in two or more of these basic learning skills. But it doesn't define which. Once you get started in the course you'll quickly find the trouble spots. Once you do that your child will be on the path to learning success. You will learn simple exercises that strengthen the skills needed for successful learning. Modern scientific breakthroughs have discovered a number of methods for overcoming these problems. Once you do your child will actually enjoy homework.

The normal price for this course is $564

Always Kiss Me Goodnight Wall Decal Review



Since my husband has off for Winter Break from college we are going to repaint our upstairs hallway as well as painting our bedroom for the first time in the seven years we have lived here. The kids rooms have always come first leaving our room last so it is about time for our room to look nice too.

I had hoped to have a picture of our room all done before I wrote this blog, but of course it is due well before we have even started painting so please look for an updated photo of before and after of our bedroom sometime after the New Year. Please remember that we rent a big old house. 

VinylDisorder has many different kinds of clings and decals. From bedrooms to cars they have you covered. You can even have custom Decals made up. Awesome I am going to have more made up for the girls for their rooms in the near future. Awesome, Fun, and Unique. I love it.

The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! Review



MarksvilleandMe reviews The List: Shout Out Your Dreams
written by 
Yuval (UV) Abramovitz

Our family has always been known as a family that carries on no matter what is thrown at us. Of course we give that credit to God, he has made us adaptive to what comes our way. I am very optimistic while my husband is more pessimistic so together we make a great couple that helps each other through all sorts of things that come our way. 

We have lived through being homeless with 5 children while I was pregnant with my 6th child. We paid our rent, sadly our landlords didn't pay the mortgage so one day the Sheriff and bank show up and tell us we are being evicted. Not something we planned at all. 

We smiled, kept our children busy while being homeless until almost 3 months later when we were finally able to move into another home big enough for our family, and a home where our family has had much growth. Yes we had our low times, we all do, but it doesn't take long for us to pick ourselves up and move forward. 

I have always been a list maker always making lists of things I want, need, want to give, etc. It wasn't until I was older that I found out I was making lists about my future planning so to speak, but as I grew older, becoming a wife, mother, and contributor to our families lively hood, I realized I wanted more for our family. I have read several book but The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! is the only one that has you make lists and then shout out what you want. 

Besides the shouting I was pretty much onto this way of thinking since the first time I ever made a list but this book really brought it front and center for me. I have even been telling my husband about being more into making our dreams come true. He needs to believe they will happen instead of just saying he will never have so and so, that we both as a couple need to decide what we want for our family so that it will happen. 

Slowly over the last year we have seen big changes, but we are still a work in progress. Thanks to The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! we have even more reason to move forward. 

You can purchase The List: Shout Out Your Dreams! on Amazon.

Women’s Confidence Panties by Hush Hush Review



Everyone wants it to be a secret but even in hushed tones many people deal with leaks in their daily lives. Now you can buy with confidence undergarments that don't look like a pad or adult incontinent pants that are made from plastic. 

I like the thought of wearing regular looking underwear with built in protection. Great for leaks from both urine, blood, and other little mishaps that might happen. I just personally went through having pneumonia and every time a coughing fit came along I had leaks, but thankfully I have a pair of Hush Hush Women's Confidence Panties, they were much needed while battling being ill. 

What I like best about Hush Hush Women's Confidence Panties is that they aren't thrown away to fill up a landfill they are washable and reusable. Don't keep this quite if you know someone who battles with bladder leakage please direct them to the comfort they deserve. 

Be one of the first 2000 to take this survey and get a free pair.

It’s the Hush Hush Free Panty Program and here’s how it works:
- Open to women 18 or older in the continental U.S.
- All interested women need to do is complete a short survey – it’ll take two minutes or less!
- Hush Hush gets their size and mails them a free pair of panties!
- Hush Hush is giving away 2,000 free pairs of panties to the first women to complete the survey.
- Anyone else who completes the survey (beyond the first 2,000) will get a coupon code to purchase the panty for $5 – a 50 percent discount!
