My DS10 has mild-to-moderate Auditory Processing, Visual Processing, and Sensory Processing issues plus a mild speech delay. We've tried speech therapy, OT, a therapeutic listening program, and a computer program, none of which really helped very much. We had him evaluated by an educational psychologist who told us that his issues were mild enough that he could not officially diagnose him with any type of disorder or learning disability. I am currently reading Disconnected Kids which was written by the founder of the Brain Balance Achievement Centers. It seems to be a great program but I would love to hear from parents whose children have actually gone through the program with successful results. Over the years we have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on testing and therapy for our son with very little results. I do not want to waste anymore money if this program can't help him. Can anyone tell me more about this program? Does it really help to retrain the brain? How much does it cost? When I called the center for more information, they were very tight-lipped about the cost which leads me to believe it is outrageously expensive. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

What one thing are you procrastinating?

Tagging my children's clothing for a consignment sale. -
We used to, or rather, I would mark the items I wanted and DH would get up at 3 AM and go get in line to buy them while I stayed home with the children. We haven't done this for at least 4-5 years though. We finally realized that the sale prices usually last for at least a few days after Black Friday so there was no need for DH to get up so early and fight the crowds.

I work as a makeup artist and you'd be surprised how many mothers bring in their pre-teen daughters for a makeover! I am always hesitant but I can't really say no because I work for a major cosmetics company and travel to major dept. stores. These women want a full-blown makeover for their daughers. I always apply the makeup very minimally but both the mothers and the daughters always ask for more. What I always end up doing is putting on a light dusting of face powder, very light pink (practically clear) lip gloss, a light dusting of a very natural-looking blush, and the lightest, most neutral eye shadow. I can't tell you how many times I've finished a makeover only to hear, "I can't even tell you put anything on her, it's so light!" My response is, "That's how makeup should look. You don't want to see it; you want it to enhance your features, not make them stand out."
