  1. That's what I was thinking too. Unfortunately, we cannot afford it right now. I will try to implement some ideas from the book but there is no way we can shell out $5000+ right now.
  2. Do you know how much the program costs? The woman I spoke with would not give me a ballpark figure. She kept insisting that I needed to come to a presentation and then have my son tested. I do not want to spend almost $500 for testing if we cannot afford the program.
  3. I'm so sorry for your loss. :grouphug: Before my first child was born, I had 3 miscarriages in a row. I then went on to have 2 successful pregnancies.
  4. 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!
  5. I second this! I just signed up at Massage Envy myself; I can't wait for my first massage!
  6. Oh my! Did she pay for the ER visit, or at the very least apologize?
  7. For me: Victoria Ladies Home Journal Allure Lucky Town & Country For the children: Highlights Highlights High Five
  8. 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.
  9. 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."
  10. I would love to have one of these, for my dd of course! http://home.aol.com/new_in_home/photogallerytall/_a/a-dream-playhouse/20081030154709990001?icid=100214839x1212718084x1200759612
