Cool gift for a curious kid

If you are like me, you totally remember having this in your classrooms as a kid. When I saw it, I thought to myself this would be kinda cool to have on the bookshelf at home. I also thought Zprime would find it kinda neat as he's just really starting to read and has this insatiable need for facts mainly weird ones. I know you are probably wondering what I'm talking about by now we'll here it is...

The World Almanac®and Book of Facts 2017  which chronicles the most notable people, places, and events of 2016 along with a wealth of fascinating facts. This latest edition of America’s bestselling reference book offers brand new features such as:


·         2016 Election Results: The World Almanac®provides a comprehensive look at the entire 2016 election process, from the roller coaster of the early primaries and candidate biographies to state and county presidential voting results and coverage of House, Senate, and gubernatorial races.

Learning Success Review and Giveaway


Hey y'all. 

I'm back with another review. This one is for the kiddos or even teachers. Business first then I'll tell you about it from my pint of view. By the way, it is called Learning Success.



Information from the company:
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

The course is delivered via email. You will receive emails each day with exercises you simply print out and do with your child. Takes approximately 15 - 20 minutes 3-5 days per week. Results are typically seen starting at about 3 months but can come earlier. Severe problems will take approximately 1 year to overcome. We will continue delivering exercises for one year or until you cancel.

My Review:

So first of all, this is an email based program. That is actually awesome for me, because we have a tendency of misplacing papers. It is a daily delivery system so you don't have to go searching for old emails. Another plus.

Z doesn't have any learning disabilities that we know of but I thought it would be good to help him get ahead. I must say he is progressing nicely. I could see this being very useful for a kiddo with a learning disability or even to help a teacher who works with those types of students.

Writing with Z


Hey guys.

Z and I have been offered the opportunity to test out a handwriting software. I am super excited about it, because I want him to be able to write legibly by the time Kindergrten starts in August. Woo Hoo!!!! From browsing the company's site, I can already tell this is going to work out pretty darn good.

Z is a total left hander. This makes it a bit more difficult for me because I'm right handed. This is another reason I am excited about the software. It takes some of the stress off me. We took it for a test run yesterday. Let me tell you, he got super pumped to see just his name on the sheet.

A little about the product...
It is a downloadable software by StartWrite. You install it and it allows you to create your own personalized handwriting sheets. You can Download Demo here. It will allow you to test it for yourself.


Now to the final business at hand...
One lucky reader will win a full version of the software to test with Z and I. Enter below.
