I am so excited! I have been eyeing Stitch Fix for a while, but as I was losing weight I was slightly outside their scope of sizing. Now after losing 125 pounds I am able to be styled by Stitch Fix! They style up to a 14/16 and X-large! They are also looking to extend their sizes, but it hasn’t happened yet. I was nervous at first. My body is not shaped like a model and I definitely have “trouble areas”, but I set aside my concerns and let stitch fix do their thing! Here are the steps you take to sign up for Stitch Fix:

1) Sign up for an account here:  Stitch Fix Account Sign-up!

2) Fill out your Style Profile. This will include questions about preferred item pricing, sizing, colors, etc and you can leave a personal, more detailed note to your stylist!

3) Order your first fix! Pick your date that you would prefer it to be delivered. At this point you will be charged a $20.00 styling fee. If you choose to keep any items from your box the styling fee is applied to that item making it $20.00 less!

4) Receive your fix in the mail! Try your items on and decide what you want to send back or keep. You have three days to do this! Your fix contains a postage paid envelope to return your items back to Stitch Fix! After you have decided what to keep and what to send back log into your account and go to checkout. This is where you leave feedback and notes about the items you received!

5) Schedule your next fix! While you CAN receive a fix monthly, you can also choose to receive it two months, three months, etc, out. I wish there was an option for twice a month!

I have to say. I honestly thought that I was going to order my Stitch Fix and not a single thing was going to fit or look right. I was so wrong! I wasn’t sure on sizing, whether to pick large or extra large, but luckily they also ask for you weight and height and I think that helps to fit you in the correct clothing! It turns out that everything fit, but a few of them I didn’t love enough to keep. I made a deal with my self that if I didn’t love it I was not going to add it to my already tiny RV closet! For this fix I chose to keep 2 out of 5 items that were sent! I feel like that is extremely awesome considering I expected nothing to work for me on my very first fix! Below are the items I received and my review of each one!

As always, if you see something you like feel free to pin it on Pinterest!

1) Skies Are Blue: Lyley Embroidered Yoke Knit Top

2) Gorjana Cress Shimmer V necklace

3) Brixon Ivy: Jarred Lace Detail Cap-Sleeve Blouse

4) Papermoon: Matti Pleated Front Blouse

5) THML Mario Pullover Sweater

Here is the style card and note that was sent with my items to give me ideas on how to wear them!

We made it to Cheyenne, Wyoming today, Saturday, August 17. We found the campground where some of the other guys from Patrick’s work are staying and pulled in. First impressions of this place are that it looks nice… until you realize that there is barely internet and almost no Sprint cellphone service. We attempted to find the goldilocks of campgrounds here in Cheyenne, but we came up short and decided the one we are at will have to do. The others were either too far away from the job site, dusty, or way too expensive. We chose WYO campground on the East side of Cheyenne.

The kids found the playground right away and made themselves busy in this old fashioned play area! They love the solid metal slides, merry-go-round and teeter-totters, but I am a little nervous! At least it wore them out and no doubt they will be asking to play there tomorrow!

The good news is there is a pool and game room to keep us plenty busy!

Because the internet is terrible here we have stopped doing our normal curriculum (time4learning) and switched to workbooks until we can get somewhere that has better internet.

Here are some random pics of WYO campground:

MusIQ lessons take about an hour and teaches  variety of music theory and history. There is a game to reinforce the lesson and printable activity sheets to go along with the lesson they just learned!

MusIQ comes with everything you need for a well rounded music curriculum. For this particular review we reviewed Children’s Music Journey Volume 1.  Volume one has 25 lessons which is plenty for the year!  The lessons begin with a fun, interactive, well-known composer who teaches the lesson. My kids were glued to the screen!

There is no way that I could teach them anywhere close to what they are learning with Adventus Children’s Music Journey Volume 1! I can’t wait to see how much more they learn as they progress.

Adventus MusIQ is very affordable.  You can buy the program wholly or you can download the software and pay a subscription fee of $10.95 per month.  When we were doing traditional music lessons they were $90.00 a month! This is a great deal!!

This month I have had the pleasure of reviewing Lone Star Learning‘s Target The Question for 1st grade! Target The Question is daily math program that only takes about 10 to 15 minutes. The purpose of Target The Question is to help children learn how to focus on the question and pick out extra information that is within a word problem. Each day there is a new word problem. The program also has printable worksheets, answer keys, and reference pages available for the parent to print out.

The program itself is simple and easy to use! It consist of minimal buttons and navigates easily! There is one button for the Question of The Week and subsequent buttons for the daily word problem.  There is also a note pad that can be used by the child to help work out the problem.

This program is great if you have a child like mine who is easily distracted by extra information in a math word problem! It really helped him to pick out the information he needed and to discard the information that was not important. This is something he has just started before the review period and now he is a pro! It really helped with his problem solving skills.

The great thing about this program is it takes very little time to incorporate into your home school… or to use after school to boost your child’s ability to Target the Question! The program only requires about 10 to 15 minutes a day! That is fantastic! It is long enough to work your child’s brain and short enough to keep their attention.

This program is compatible with Windows and Mac computers. The Lone Star Learning‘s Target The Question cost starts at 59.99 for a one year subscription depending on the program you chose!
