Ask to see the letter from their mortgage company showing what they are approved to get in a loan.

He has at most 10 minutes of homework and then reading ---which he loves. He only needs to finish at home what he didn't finish at school. Major incentive for him to be productive at class because he wants lots of playtime at home!

My little one was given tamiflu because he's under 4. My 8 yr old has respitory problems so he to was on tamiflu. Both were better in 4 days. I was very sick for 1 1/2 weeks and didn't feel good until 3 weeks later and didn't have tamiflu. I vote for tamiflu!

and this was in a PS. There were 3 teachers per grade. Math and reading were separated by level and there was an advanced, regular and those that may needmore help. The only children pulled out of class were those with learning disabilites that got special help different days of the week. It never occurred to me this wasn't how every school operated.

It's close to all the Black Hill attractions and has some nice trails right from the campsite. Bear Lake borders UT, WY and ID and is beautiful. KOA has a nice campground on the UT side in Garden City, UT and an added plus they have fabulous milkshakes there! Garden City is about 2 1/2 hours from Salt Lake City and is a beautiful drive. Enjoy your trip! :)

My friends son had a toothache and they waited one month to get into the dentist. The boy ended up with a root canal on a baby tooth! My tips: Children need to drink unfiliterd tap water. Filters remove fluroide. Have their adult molars sealed. My dc brush after each meal. I have outlawed gummy candies, hard candies, lollipops, etc. After doing all this we have had no cavities the last 2 years!

My dh had a master's and I have a bachelor's and some graduate level work. We traveled Europe and here in the states tons before we started our family. We had been married for 7 years when 1st ds came along. I loved the time we had together and wouldn't change it at all. Plus waiting to have children enabled us to set ourselves up for me not having to work. We never lived on my income; just socked it away for a house.

After having my children I went from 5'8" to 5'7". I've been working out regularly for the last 4 months - elliptical, biking and spin classes. I am back at 5'8"! I feel that my core muscles are stronger and my back seems to have straightened out. I think pilates would be really great also. Just have gotten into that yet.

I've used this in my last 2 houses (Oh and TX) and everyone has always loved it! I also went up a shade from restrained gold in my living room.

I'm meeting 2 of my best friends in Seattle. We all live in different states! Husbands are totally on board for taking care of the children and have encouraged us to do this. I made my best friends as an adult. Met in a newly married sunday school class 15 years ago. We've all moved around several times but remain very close.

I will look into that program. I do think she is reading above her grade level because she can read any word. So, scaling her back will be a great place to start.

I am helping my friends 4th grade daughter. She attends ps and on her standardized test scored a 30% for comprehension. I guess this has been an ongoing problem. She retains very little of what she reads. I was going to work with her over the summer. I'm doing research on what to use, etc. Any suggestions on what materials to use? Anyone else dealt with this problem? Looking forward to any and all suggestions!

dropped our land line cut out cable eat out only 1x a month (breakfast or lunch) cut spring sports for kiddos This has saved us about $150 a month

I'm living w/my family and filled out a standard lease agreement with them. This provides my address for residency. I waited to get new license plates until they were a month from expiring in my previous state - saves lots of money. And, if ever asked by patrolman - not happened - but would say I'm leasing and don't have permanent address here. Phone advice - I only use my cell phone and ended up with Verizon because only one that provided good coverage. I'd check out what company people liked were you more moving to.

We have never worn shoes in our house. You pick up lots of gross stuff on the bottom of your shoes and I don't want that all over my floors. ie public restrooms, etc. I don't ask people to remove their shoes unless they are wearing high heels because it does put a dent in my wood floors with each step. Also, if you have gravel/rocks stuck to your shoes it will scratch and dent your wood floors. My children are great at asking people to check the bottom of their shoes and say "Mom makes us check ours!"

I didn't realize how much there was to see. I think we'll have a great time.

My friend is meeting me in Salt Lake City (both our dh have business there). Any recommendations on what to see or do? We can't ski because she is very, very pg right now. Thanks!

I've had my Broyhill sofa for almost 15 years. It still looks good and sits pretty good also. They have a fabric choices and I plan on buying another Broyhill to replace this one. The one I've picked is around $800. I paid $500 in 1994 and thought it was a lot, but still have it!

I think my ds would love this. Where can I find out about joining or starting a Lego Rebotics Club? Also, were was the competition held? We live in Utah. Thanks! Amy

My ds loved R&S reading and workbooks. I used the phonics and reading workbooks. He enjoyed doing the workbooks. He read to me and then had independent study to do the workbook (2 pages each lesson). Really helped me gage what he comprehended and could do on his own. In August 08 he hated reading and was behind and now he's reading Nate the Great, The Boxcar Children and his Bible on his own and loving it.

My dr. told me they just gave odds and really don't tell me anything conclusive. Much can be determined from an ultrasound. I had a 3D ultrasound at the hospital which was amazing. They can tell by an ultrasound if you're child has downs and other problems by the length of limbs, joints missing, etc.

If you have a bachelor's degree you just need to study for the LSAT. Law school takes 3 years. Otherwise, you're looking at 4 years undergrad and 3 years graduate. .

I'm going to put my oldest (2nd) in ps along with his younger brother who starts k next year. I need a job to that can actually pay bills. I haven't worked in 8 years. I have a Business degree, but wasn't an Accountant. And all the interviews I have gone on want me to have experience or the know how to handle payroll, A/P, A/R, etc. So, I'm heading back to the classroom. I am finding it very hard to juggle hs, work, classes, and my studying. So, my solution is to have the kiddos attend ps. I think for now it's the best solution. I haven't read aloud since November also! They miss it and I miss it.
