During our first full week of the Preschool Prep DVDs experiment with my son, we had a lot of observations about how they work.  If you missed the explanation of the experiment we’re doing, you can read it here: Preschool Prep DVDs Learning Experiment.

What we really wanted to find out was if they worked as well as the company claims.  Our guidelines were to have Truett watch no more than 2 hours a day, and to watch no other TV or movies except for Preschool Prep.  He took to the movies immediately and started asking for them the next day!

Here are the DVDs he watched for the first week and the times:

Day 1 (9/30/09) – Meet the Letters DVD, letters A through F.  Meet the colors DVD (all). Total time 50 minutes.

Day 2 (10/1/09) – Meet the Shapes DVD (all).  Meet the Colors DVD (partial). Total time 50 minutes.

Day 3 (10/2/09 Friday) – Meet the Letters DVD, letters I-S.  Meet the Shapes DVD (partial).  Total time 45 minutes.

Day 4 (10/3/09 Saturday) – Meet the Letters DVD R-Z.   Meet the Shapes DVD.  Total time 1 hr 14 minutes.

Day 5 (10/4/09 Sunday) – Meet the Letters DVD a-g.  Meet the Numbers (all).  Meet the Colors (partial).  Total time 62 minutes.

Day 6 (10/5/09 Monday) – Meet the Shapes DVD (all).  Meet the Letters DVD a-g.  Total time 43 minutes.

Day 7 (10/6/09 Tuesday) – Meet the Shapes DVD (1.5 times).  Meet the Colors DVD.  Total time 85 minutes.

Day 8 (10/7/09 Wednesday) – Meet the Shapes DVD (all).  Meet the Colors DVD (all).  Total time 70 minutes.

As you can see, during the first week we skipped around and offered Truett a variety of shows.  We didn’t do the same DVDs every day, although I did try to offer the Meet the Letters DVD in sections because of its longer length. The introduction to that movie recommends to split the viewing up and start at different chapters to take into account kids’ limited attention spans. 

His favorite movie so far is definitely Meet the Shapes, which he affectionately calls his “shape show”! 

What surprised me the most about the Preschool Prep tool is that it worked immediately.  From the first time Truett sat down to watch a DVD, when the letter “A” came on the screen, he started repeating after the narrator.  I was astounded.

At the end of the first week, he started pointing to shapes in our house on his own and calling them out.  He even pointed to a star on his bib and said, “Star”!  I really didn’t expect for him to have learned anything by the end of the first week, so I was very surprised.  I’m anxious to continue the experiment and report on the results. 

Next week, we’re narrowing down his viewing to the shapes, colors, and numbers mostly.

I love experiments, and am very excited to announce our new 2 month experiment testing the Preschool Prep DVD set as a learning tool.  Read my updates for the next 2 months as my 2 year old learns the alphabet, colors, shapes, numbers, and 47 kindergarten sight words.  Come along on our journey  as we update weekly on Truett’s progress with Preschool Prep!

The Preschool Prep DVDs have parents and teachers claiming that their babies and toddlers have learned the information to complete mastery in as little as 2 weeks. 

The back of the package says, “A study of over 50 babies and toddlers, who watched Meet the Letters, resulted in over 90% of these children having complete upper and lowercase letter recognition by or before the end of the two-month study.  Many learned their letters in less than two weeks.”

I want to know if these results are typical.  If the Preschool Prep DVDs really work this well, all parents should be using them. 

The Background

Recently, my husband and I noticed severe foundational problems in the education our oldest daughter, London, has received in public school.  We embarked upon research to find programs that can help our toddler son address these same learning gaps before they become a problem.  This research is how we came upon the DVD series called Preschool Prep.

There are 7 DVDs which address the fundamentals of preschool and kindergarten curriculum:  colors, shapes, numbers, letters, and sight words.  4 of the DVDs can be used by babies as young as 9 months and the other 3 DVDs are for babies 15 months and older. 

The company’s tagline is, “You will be amazed at what your little one can learn!”  and I decided to take them up on that challenge!  Will I be amazed at my son’s results from using this educational tool?  I want to find out!

The Experiment Information

In order to test this program fairly, we’re going to use it with our 2 year old for 2 months straight.  He won’t watch any other television or movies besides the Preschool Prep DVDs.  At the end of 2 months, we’ll gauge his mastery of the 5 subjects:

1. Colors: Recognition and identification of 8 colors, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black, purple, and white.
2. Numbers:  Recognition and identification of 11 numbers, from 0 through 10.
3. Shapes:  Recognition and identification of 8 shapes, including circle, oval, diamond, octagon, triangle, rectangle, star, and square.
4. Letters: Recognition and identification of all 26 letters of the alphabet.
5. Sight Words:  Recognition and identification of these 47 kindergarten sight words: all, at, be, by, from, her, him, look, one, or, some, there, this, up, word, are, as, but, go, had, here, his, like, my, on, see, she, they, was, we, with, of, play, it, he, you, in, I, to, have, and, a, said, is, the, for, that. 

Experimenter: Danelle, mom of 3

Test subject:  Truett, toddler boy, aged 25 months.  Truett has had no formal education (preschool) and has not previously participated in any educational or learning programs, DVDs, computer games, books, or toys.

Dates of Experiment: September 30, 2009 – November 30, 2009.

Time Spent Viewing Program: 1-2 DVDs per day or 1-2 hours of viewing per day, including weekends, spread throughout the child’s normal day in reasonable chunks.  All other TV time will be eliminated.

Order of DVDs:  The DVDs will be viewed randomly, alternating and in no specific order.

Try the Experiment with Us

If you’d like to try the experiment along with us, you can purchase the DVDs from Amazon at a discounted price compared to the company’s website.  Below is the purchase information for the set and 2 of the single discs.

We’ve been happy to have Dutch Boy paint as the sponsor for some of our nifty Home DIY projects this summer.  Dutch Boy Refresh paint has been our paint of choice, and we’ve had a wonderful experience using it.

If you missed our home DIY project in which we did a makeover on kitchen cabinets, go check it out now to see some amazing before and after pictures!

Review: Dutch Boy Refresh Paint

Packaging:  The packaging on this new paint is definitely designed with ease of use in mind. 

• The Dutch Boy plastic package is much lighter than the traditional heavy paint cans.
• The Dutch Boy square shape instead of a round can is a much better use of storage space.  These paint containers can not only be stacked on top of each other, but line up exactly next to, in front of, and behind each other on shelves with no wasted storage space.
• The easy on, easy off Dutch Boy paint lid is so easy that even those with a diminished grip should be able to manage it’s opening and closing.  The screw on lid turns to go on and come off with 2 easy plastic grips protruding to use as leveraging “handles”.  No more prying off a metal lid from a traditional paint can!
• There is a built in plastic carrying handle that stays to the side when at rest.  

Smell:  Although the fumes from paint can be quiet obnoxious and overpowering, the paint smell was not present with Dutch Boy Refresh paint.  We noticed a definite difference between this brand and traditional paints, in that there is no “paint odor”.  The house we were working on barely hinted that there was a painting project going on, as there was no tell-tale paint smell or any strong fumes.

Consistency:  This creamy paint has a very even consistency, and unlike many other paints, does not separate out.  We noticed that it was barely even necessary to stir the paint before adding refills to our paint pan.  The pigment is very evenly distributed, making for a more even application on your desired surface (which was laminate kitchen cabinetry, in our case).

Website Color Selection:  The feature on the Dutch Boy website for choosing your paint color is truly unique (shown at right).  Not only can you select a room that mimics what you’ll be painting (e.g. bathroom, nursery, etc.), but you can then have the color swatch virtually applied to the room to get a better idea of what it will really look like when finished!  You have to check out the Color Simplicity Tool here. 

Cons:  There wasn’t anything about the Dutch Boy Refresh paint that I didn’t like.  Even the price is affordable, perfect for frugal DIY homeowners! 

The Short Version

From start to finish, from their packaging design process to their considering my user experience, Dutch Boy has done a top notch job.

While using Refresh paint, I could tell it was created to make it easy for women to do home DIY projects.  It’s apparent that their Research & Development funds were wisely used and that real consumers’ input was important when designing this new product.  I was pleased as can be with this paint, and it definitely gets the Home Ever After stamp of approval!

I was asked to review Tisserand’s Blemish Stick, but when I opened the box, I was in for a surprise! 6 other products for me to try out!

Tisserand Intensive Hand and Nail Cream

First one I was drawn to- the Intensive Hand and Nail cream. I have dry “old lady” looking hands. I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a good but non-greasy hand cream. The bottle is small, 2.5 oz, but this one will last me a long time- you seriously need a pea size dab, and it handles both hands, and all cuticles.

The smell is what I call earthy. You can tell all the essential oils that went into this. The fragrances I noticed first were Orange Blossom and Bergamot oil. I also could open a particularly stiff doorknob with no issue after applying this- so this little gem is a definite keeper!

Tisserand Muscle Ease Body Massage Oil

Next was The Muscle Ease Body Massage Oil with ginger, lemongrass and rosemary. My husband has chronic back pain. I used this oil on his back, seeing as how he’d be the perfect guinea pig. The fragrance is strong at first, but not overpowering. The oil produced a warming sensation while rubbing my palms together, and made my hands glide over my husband’s skin. It only took a few minutes to absorb and was not heavy feeling at all. After I finished his back, I rubbed a bit into my cuticles and nail beds. I really like this product as well.

Other Tisserand Goodies

I am a HUGE bath fan. There was a bath oil with lavender, marjoram and mandarin. The smell is lovely, and you can definitely tell there’s lavender in there. Best part- it didn’t leave the bathtub oily and dangerous.

Two antiseptic products were included- the vegetable soap and antiseptic cream. The lather on the soap was just enough to tell my mind that it was cleaning, and rinsed off really easily without that sticky and over-dried feeling that traditional soaps leave. The antiseptic cream was a nice change from the hand sanitizers laden with alcohol (especially if you have an unnoticed paper cut!)

Lastly, I also got a roller ball with their ‘de-stress’ oil blend that is a nice, rose-based blend. I use it as my daily perfume. It’s light and refreshing. Jury is still out if it really helps to de-stress or not.

When offered to review this product, I had to jump. Being involved with makeup and skin for as long as I have, I’m always up for trying something new. Growing up, I never really had to deal with acne (good genes!)… I really only got breakouts at typical times- right before/after my period, and if I forgot to take off makeup (or used something that aggravated my sensitive/ almost Rosacea skin).

Now, crossing the threshold of my 30s, I’m noticing a little more breakouts here and there. Luckily, those breakouts are pretty much immediate pustules that I get rid of with warm compresses (don’t pick ladies- especially with aging skin!). But I’d like something I can apply and, hopefully, would work quickly.

When opening the product, I immediately smelled the tea tree oil and Witch Hazel. To some, this may can be a little strong, especially if you’re sensitive to smells. (And a little note: When opening, think lip gloss wand… I was trying to pull the cap off, like a roller ball. ALMOST made a mess.) The day I received my product, coincidentally, I had two spots on either side of my nose (my breakout “zone”) that were developing. Typically, these two spots would develop “heads” in a few days and I’d be rid of them.

I dabbed the product, which is more a tonic than a gel or cream, on the spots, and waited for the burning. It never came! The best I can describe is a strong tingly feeling for a few moments, which is typical of any astringent- however, it should never burn. And I do have to explain- most “acne” treatments will start burning my skin immediately after application. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! The strong smell faded within 5 minutes, even being centimeters from my nasal passages. The tingling faded in about 20.

Day two the spots were already visibly smaller, I reapplied, moisturized and slept. Still no irritation. Today, day 3, spots are gone! There was a little bit of a flake where the spots were, which came off with cleansing my face- therefore I’d recommend using this once a day- best at night- right before you moisturize. Also, a very teeny dot of product will do you well- you do not need to saturate your skin. Literally touch the applicator to the spot and move on. And don’t worry about cross contaminating areas of the face. The tea tree (antiseptic) in the product takes care of that.

I figured that since this product is supposed to purify, and it does have quite a bit of witch hazel in it, I tried it on my nose and chin- two areas that I have ample blackheads. They did not get rid of them, and I wasn’t surprised- an esthetician told me that people with blackheads cannot get rid of them- they can only shrink and fade them so they’re not so obvious. This product did just that. I still had the little buggers, but I had to look REAL close to find them.

Living in Florida, we have PLENTY of Benadryl, Neosporin or other topical anti-itch creams on hand from March to November. Chances are, if you spend more than 30 seconds outside with no bug spray on, you will get bit. My son, as fair complected as he is, bug bites show up instantaneously. I put some of the blemish stick on there (they advertise any skin irritation), and 1- “no itchies” per my 2 year old, and 2- the swelling went down and the bite was gone in a matter of 12 hours. I applied once he got the bite, and then again before he went to bed. Gone the next morning.

All in all, I love this product. And it should do my Karma good to use it- all of Tisserand’s products are cruelty free (no animal testing), 100% pure, 95% or better Organic, and wild crafted or ethically harvested. And according to the Tisserand website, they have been doing so since 1985- way before the world was on the green bandwagon.

The Tisserand Anti-Blemish stick is available for purchase at ULTA and Ulta.com.

Laundry is one of—if not the—household chore I dread the most. I’ve got a nine-year-old and a thirteen-year-old boy, and doing their laundry (not to mention my husband’s), isn’t the most pleasant job in the house –sorry guys! Anything that cuts down on the time I spend dealing with their dirty clothes is worth a second look.

I recently received a new kind of laundry detergent in the mail called “Dropps.” It looked to me kind of like the gel packs you use in your dishwasher. You toss them in the washing machine, turn it on, and that’s it. They’re pre-measured, and you use one or two, depending on the size of the laundry load.

Here’s what I like about Dropps:

They’re convenient. Since the amount of detergent is pre-measured, you drop them in the machine with no mess and no measuring. There are no more laundry detergent bottles with sticky soap running down the sides sitting on your laundry room shelves.

You use the right amount of laundry detergent every time. I know I use too much liquid detergent. If you look at where the lines are in the measuring cap of your laundry soap bottle, you’ll see that even for large loads, you shouldn’t be filling the cap up to the top. I admit that I often do though without even thinking.

Dropps could save you money. I will admit I haven’t done the math, but because I am guilty of using too much laundry detergent, I expect switching to Dropps will save me money, since I can’t overuse it.

And, if you have a spouse or especially children doing laundry, you don’t have to worry that they will use too much detergent with such an easy-to-use product.

Finally, Dropps are environmentally friendly. Dropps are super-concentrated and come in small, lightweight packaging. They still do the same job, of course, but you can forget buying those big plastic jugs of detergent. This is better for the environment in terms of resources used to produce the packaging and in terms of resources used to ship these heavy bottles across the country to our stores.

The bottom line? I don’t know the retail price of Dropps, and I haven’t seen Dropps in my local stores yet, but assuming they are reasonably-priced, I would say they are definitely worth a try. I would even say they are worth a little more than traditional detergents. Why? Because they should last you longer if you’re anything like me and don’t measure your liquid detergents precisely. Convenience and time saved is definitely worth something as well.
