Week Four Of Kaplan Tutoring Program

We are on week 4 of the Kaplan Tutoring Program http://www.kaplantutoring.com/.
I have to say that once the kids realized that you could accumulate points to redeem in the reward zone, it boosted up them wanting to go on. They love to spin the wheel (once per day) to get entered into a drawing to win different prizes!
One thing cool about the program is the parents can log on and see the child's progress report and see what skills they have mastered and what they are in the process of mastering.
My children dread the assessments. It seems like they are always doing them and that they are quite too long. My recommendation would be to break them up into shorter segments so that they do not tire out. This program does however save where your child left off so that he/she can easily resume where they left off.
In a nutshell, I do think that it is a great program to see where your child stands academically and to be able to accommodate and instill what they are or should be learning in school.
My son at the beginning of the program was only mastered40% in 4th grade math. Now on week four and he goes on a little every other day has reached 70% mastery. Pretty good since he is just in 4th grade currently. Imagine the leaps and bounds he could make if he went on every day!
Stay tuned for Week 5!

Kaplan Test Drive-

I have been selected to be a Kaplan Test Drive Mom!
For the next two months, my Bipster and my little queen bee will be participating in Kaplan and posting our progress with the program.
I am excited because my 8 year old lacks reading comprehension. I have tried so many different avenues and am hoping that Kaplan is my answer.
The Bipster excels in school so hopefully Kaplan will give him more of a challenge.
Stay tuned for honest feedback about our experiences~!

I wrote this review while participating in a Test Drive Program by Mom Central on behalf of Kaplan and received the products necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Kimberly Sayer of London Aromatic Night Repair Cream

Kimberly Sayer of London Aromatic Night Repair Cream

I have to tell you that after a "fun" night out-- the next morning came too early. I was laying on the couch trying to gather enough energy when my favorite FedEx lady came ringing on my doorbell. I say favorite because you see we have history. She always seems to catch me at my best (worst). I will tell you that story later ;)

Anyways, I was super pumped about hearing about a new skincare line that I wanted to try- Kimberly Sayer of London. All of their products are made with certified organic ingredients and are not tested on animals, nor contain any ingredients derived from animals.

I was shipped the Aromatic Night Repair Cream to review. I always get excited to see how a product smells since fragrances tend to give me a headache. I was all giddy with the beautiful aromatic smell of the lavender. I sampled a little between my fingers letting the cream glide easily between them. I loved the thickness of the shea butter and other pure fine ingredients. Then I closed my eyes and imagined myself getting a hundred dollar facial. I gently applied to my face (only need to apply a dime size) and inhaled light breaths of the gentle smell. It made my body calm and relaxed me. A little goes a long way!!

All I can say about this product is that it gets the highest of recommendations- As I finish this write-up, I am on day 4 of using it and absolutely love it! It contains less than 25 ingredients, all organic with no additives. The price is superb and if you have dry skin, it is a must. I loved the fact that even after put some on my lips, the product did not have any bad taste! It is great for all skin types -- Dry, Sensitive and Normal and you can use it daily as well as at night and also with winter approaching it is a great way to protect your skin from the elements.
