As a mother of two boys with special needs and a well developed child too I have a multitude of obsticles to get through daily. The play fort would be a welcome play source for my kids so here is my post for the Education.com contest. I looked up the special needs section for insight to my son’s newly diagnosed contition. Bi-Polar.
I saw pleanty on the aspergers and autism which is always of interest to me but didn’t see anything dealing with educating me, a parent, on the needs of a Bi-Polar teen. For years I have been dealing with my son’s needs under the impression that he was emotionally disturbed but I am finally now being informed my child has bipolar. He is not a manic/ depressive but rather a depressive with seasonal occurances. When it becomes cold outside he worsens and when it is warm and sunny he comes alive again. Parents need input to get involved in helping their disabled children. We also need support resources that are not always available in some communities. A parents resource would be helpfull for moms like me that want to be the best parent we can be. Thanks Michele

I got ban deodorant, simply harvest, magic shcool bus book, starbucks coffee, dora sippy cup, kellogs granola bar, and a free coupon for kids dannon yogurt drinks, and good housekeeping. Sometimes I don’t get anything for a week then all of a sudden all my freebies come pouring in…fun!!

OFF TOPIC: Just wanted to say I absolutely LOVE the book Eats, Shoots, & Leaves! (I admit it: I’m a grammar geek.)I laughed so hard I was crying, and my husband thought I’d lost my mind to get so worked up over a book on punctuation. OC course, it could have had something to do with that British humor, too…

Enjoy!

This week, I’ve gotten a free sample of tide, ban deodorant, real lemon with coupon, dove lotion with coupon, emergen-C, and some sort of shampoo/conditioner that I am blanking on right now. I love freebies and smaples, but it is driving my husband a little nuts

Since I’ve plugged for Emergen-C, I have to say that the pink lemonade is NOT as good as tangerine. Sorry. :9

Because I’m a blogger, I sometimes get free things in the mail from companies who are promoting a new product, etc.–like the Wish-Bone dressings. It’s been a fun perk that I never expected and makes the mail delivery even more fun sometimes!

How could you get four bottles for free, when the rebate limits you to one per address?

That’s great! I love freebies, too. Just wondering, how did you manage to score FOUR bottles of the dressing???? I would LOVE to get that much free dressing.
