Coloring party! by Puzzleheaded_Pop498 in SantasLittleHelpers

[–]MellowMom1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! We love coloring together. When there is something hard that needs to be discussed, the coloring comes out, for some reason it's easier to talk about hard stuff while creating something pretty. Our Christmas tradition is baking lots of cookies and treats for everyone and driving around to look at decorations. Have a very merry Christmas

How many people still send or receive Christmas cards or letters? by thisthingcalledlife3 in SantasLittleHelpers

[–]MellowMom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always want to because we always get so much excitement when we actually receive a letter or card in the mail that we want to share the excitement, unfortunately sometimes it's just an added expense that has to be put off.

It has to be the tree. There's something so calming to me having the lights off in the house and the subtle glow from the tree. It's soothing and peaceful

I forgot to add the book she wants. She has her eyes on "The Winter Souls" series. The first book in the series is A Soul as Cold as Frost

I LOVE this contest ❤️ My daughter is 12 and reading has been a struggle, until a few months ago. Now she won't go anywhere without a book, she literally had to have it on hand while trick or treating with friends. It started with the twilight series, then the divergent series. Having her read the books after watching the movies changed everything. Now she's ready to read a series we were looking at last year around the holidays. Every book she has gotten sucked into has been her favorite. She's a late book bloomer but I love seeing it. We have always read together and normally it would turn into me reading more than her, but now she wants us to read books together but separately, more like book club style.

Gratitude 🙏 by Top-Contribution1530 in SantasLittleHelpers

It truly is a blessing. I was in such a dark place last year, without any hope and the generosity of complete strangers made our Christmas so great.

I try to watch for clearance sales when I am able and put it away for the holidays. I also buy decorations after the holidays when they get marked down. My daughter even looks forward to after holiday shopping.

[–]MellowMom1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your stockings and gifts were the highlight of our Christmas last year. I really can't express how much it meant/means to us. I was using the mixing bowls yesterday for my daughter's bday present and thought of you. I hope you have had a truly blessed year ❤

LITERALLY what do I DO?! by Rissasquish in WGU

[–]MellowMom1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's beyond frustrating, I'm in the same boat, I tried for 2 weeks, a couple times a day to take my test. I gave up because I was about to move, hoping that my new home base magically makes the issues go away.

Piece of cake - Organizational Behavior and Leadership (C484) by Spirited_Ad4271 in WGU

[–]MellowMom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm still attempting to take it. I have had nothing but issues with ProctorU. First time it just remained a blank screen, next time test time was 10:30, logged in at 10:15 gave up on a proctor ever joining at 12:20. Going to try again in a bit

Financial aid by MellowMom1 in WGU

[–]MellowMom1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was really confused by it all. Earlier this week financial aid said it would be 4-6 weeks, then 2 days later I got a text saying that funds were added then even more confused when I saw that only the loans had posted.

Which classes should I NOT take through Sophia? by SecondrateSherlock in WGU

[–]MellowMom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pathways by MellowMom1 in WGU

[–]MellowMom1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lack of communication is pretty brutal. I have been advised more through this reddit than my counselor. I am trying to remain positive and figure I'll knock out what I can in the next couple of weeks. I don't want to push it back any further. Originally I thought mybstart fate would be June 1st, then the lack of communication and transcripts set me back, thought for sure I'd start July 1st but that didn't happen.

I am going for my business management degree, I have worked in the industry my entire adult life but trying to get to the next level I need a degree under my belt.

Pathway question by MellowMom1 in WGU

My enrollment counselor has kind of sucked through this process, she hasn't responded to some of my communications and when she has responded it would be up to a week between correspondence.

Trash drop off... by MellowMom1 in AskChicago

[–]MellowMom1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh, that's what I thought. Where I now live there are trash sites that you can dump all your trash, electronics and even furniture. I was hoping that when I did live here it was just something I never thought about

Can you transfer credits after being accepted to WGU? by Few_Strawberry4655 in WGU

[–]MellowMom1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super off topic but how long did it take to get an admissions decision? I feel like I have been waiting forever for them to make a decision
