My Thoughts:
I was excited to review this giveaway and I am bummed I did not have it during my pregnancy. I was not very consistent when it came to working out while pregnant. Since I am not pregnant any more I kept thinking in my head, "well, if she can do it pregnant then I can do it not pregnant." I had never tried pilates before but wow, it is a great workout. There are 4 types of workouts within the DVD: 1. Mat, 2. Light Weights, 3. resistance band, 4. stability ball. I do not have a resistance band or a stability ball but I was still able to get a bit of a workout without them. Even though I am not currently pregnant this DVD is helping me firm up my stomach from being pregnant. All I do is add a few more abdominal moves to feel the stretch a little bit more. I have only used the DVD a few times which was the perfect amount of time to give me a boost of energy and help me get on a better regime if working out. A big help at getting me on a schedule of working out. I am going to be a nice friend and borrow out my copy to my pregnant friend! (I hope to get some feedback from her and give you all an update.) Since I had never done Pilates before I realized how challenging it can be. The real thing I noticed is how much effort you put in will help you see better results.
Overall the Dale gave easy to understand instructions with the right amount of encouragement. The visuals were peaceful with very calm and low volume music.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...
