It is really challenging to look for schools for learning disabilities. The first school we enrolled our son placed him together with the pre-vocational class, which I learned much later on as a major no-no. Why? because pre-vocational class is for young teens with special needs, who will be taught skills necessary in procuring a livelihood. No wonder my son got beaten up one time by his 16-year old classmate whose parents didn’t even bother to send me a text message to apologize for what happened.

Now What?: The Chapman Guide to Marriage After Children by Gary Chapman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Believe it or not, this is the first time that I had the chance to read a book that is authored by world-renowned author Gary Chapman.

I do not know what it is about being pregnant that heightens your senses and also increases your body temperature (and sex drive as well).  With that, preggers are bound to get more sweaty this summer. And there’s no better way to cool down than to hit the beach. If you’re pregnant and are hesitant about going to the beach because of your baby bump, not to worry. Here are some great swim suits to add to your collection of maternity clothes.

2 months ago, I went to a friend’s place and saw how she chronicled in a very detailed fashion, her children’s life from pregnancy down to all firsts and well up to now.
