Always learning something...

August 26th 2011 14:09

Like the name of this blog, I am always learning. Recently found that Zappos coupons are a simple way to save money on purchases I would be making anyways. After several disheartening fails in the saving department, I have resolved to make a real change.

Latest fail, I sent my oldest son off to the sporting goods store to pick up new running shoes...he found really nice trainers.

He loves them...and so does his little brother who wanted a similar pair.

Once I found out how much he spent though, I had to search for an alternative, and remembered (a little too late) how my mom had told me to search for discounts online.


Punching in Zappos coupon codes, I found some amazing deals. While I can't take back my oldest son's shoes since he already ran several miles in them...I can use those as an expensive reminder to always check for shoes.com coupons before making a purchase. AND TEACH MY KIDS TO DO THE SAME! Finding the exact pair of running shoes for more than half the price is a win-win. Knowing how to stretch their dollars is a life skill that will always come in handy.

Educational items, printer ink, back to school supplies and more and more and more...can be purchased at huge discounts. Take a look and stay in control of your cash....I sure learned my lesson!

Prepare your little CEO

April 23rd 2011 15:21
Are you raising the next CEO? What are you doing to prepare them? Veritas Prep is an option.

While most high school junior and seniors prepare to take the SAT, (and teachers and parents have done the same) the GMAT is for those students planning on heading off to business school....and need specific preparation. Since the test is taken generally by people in an older age range, 21-45, the truth is, they will often not have someone pushing them to study up, like for the SAT.

You can give your future business leader a heads up. Check out some of the rules behind the GMAT, and offer scenarios, maybe from your work place, that will make them think through situations. If you've taken the test, or maybe attended something like like the New York GMAT classes, then you can relate what you've gleaned from the experience.

My son, a sometimes struggling student, gobbled up his Economics course in ninth grade. He aced every test, made shockingly accurate connections and really, just surprised everyone around him.

One part of the GMAT though that I discovered he will be at a disadvantage is that calculators are not allowed. Over all his years of school, literally from second grade, his teachers encouraged using calculators in class. It was required. He will need to brush up on that portion for sure.

Comprehension is a large part of the test, "recognizing what to do-almost instantaneously-" is something to work on in order to save time and helps accuracy. If you know what your child wants to do in the future, take steps now to help them prepare....whether they are in second grade or a senior.

Always is my word of the day, in honor of ALWAYS learning. Life is too ....oh wait, I'll just quote Henry Miller, he said it best.....

Math for Preschoolers

January 30th 2011 20:44
Naturally introduce math to your child at a young age. Regular practice will take a lot of the fear and frustration out of the subject.

By now everyone has heard of the benefits of developing a regular habit of reading to your preschooler. Okay, we get the picture and have piles of picture books to prove it. But like in most everything, there needs to be a balance. Use a preschooler's natural curiosity to introduce math and logic throughout the day.

Try out the activities in this article to bring math terms down to a preschoolers level, simply and naturally. These quick activities are designed to be pulled out when the child is receptive. No need to force a "teachable moment." Like the weather in the Midwest, if you don't like it, wait a moment; it'll change.

B]Ideas to Introduce Math at an Early Age

Many of these activities need little to no preparation. Learning happens all day for a young child. Make the most of the in-between times, errands and daily chores. Incorporating math concepts is easy, but remember to keep the conversations light hearted and matter of fact. Forcing math is a good way to turn them off to learning

Early Math Education-Why it is Important

July 6th 2010 11:05
Early math education is often neglected. There are many, many initiatives in place to foster reading skills from preschool, starting as young as one in the case of the "teach your baby to read" program and encouragement from everyone to read to your child.

To be honest, I am firmly planted in the reading crowd. As a homeschooling mom, the sooner a child can read on their own, the better! I also think that part of the problem in the lack of early math education is that many of the people who go into the early education field are not fond of math themselves

Math Games

June 24th 2010 03:50
Sure, it is summer but...kids need lots of hands-on practice to master their math facts. Playing math games is a way to practice without having them fill out yet another worksheet. Playing cards, rulers and even paper clips are inexpensive tools you can use to promote learning at home....and have fun doing it!
Check out the "Close Call Card Game", "Terrific Tens" and more....Read On

Rubber Band Games for Kids

June 22nd 2010 02:49
The humble rubber band can form the basis for several children's games. Try a traditional game of Chinese jump rope or create an educational geo-board for kids to learn from and enjoy. Children also can make a collection of elastic-band powered cars to race with common household items. Hold competitions indoors or out.

Money Skills for Children

May 20th 2010 00:35
My youngest daughter is a money whiz. From a very young age she would ask, "What can I do to earn money?" At 9 years old she has four years experience running successful lemonade/Kool-Aid/iced tea stands. Sad to say I cannot really take any credit for her money savvy. It is a trait she comes by naturally.

Parents want to see their children succeed in life. Many focus on giving them the best education and opportunities they can with what they have

Send In The Clowns

May 24th 2009 02:59
Admittedly I am not a fan of clowns, preferring to see them at children's parties rather than adorned all over my wall. So the inclusion of Clown Week into our schedule took me a little by surprise to say the least.

Loonette and Molly from the Canadian Series, The Big Comfy Couch, are a particular favourite in our house so at least I had a starting point on which to base our activities. And in particular I love the concept of a 10-second tidy which we are going to incorporate with a clown based cleaning chart
