| End of Year Planning – Doctor, Optometrist and Dental Appointments |
End of Year DOD (Doctor, Optometrist, Dentist)
Here is your reminder that the end of year is coming soon. Now is the time for make appointments for check ups for doctors, optometrists and dentists. Also, if you have kids coming home from college for the holidays – make theirs too.
Lastly for year end planning, take a look at FSA accounts (medical and child care), deadlines and carry overs for 2018. If you have money to spend, I always suggest first aid kits.

| Check Out Steve Martin’s Bright Star Now at the Curran Theater SF |
 Bright Star at the Curran closes on December 17th. Check out my review on our sister site, SiliconValleyMom.com.
Bright Star at the Curran San Francisco
I recommend Bright Star for ages 12 and above because of a certain scene which I can’t describe without spoiling the plot. Also because some of the dialogue might not be understood for younger kids.
Bright Star is playing at the Curran Theater now through December 17, 2017. Buy tickets here. |

| Low Cost Laptops and Desktops from Comcast |
Did you know that if you qualify for Internet Essentials from Comcast, you can purchase a laptop or desk top cdomputer for $149.99?
The holidays are here and I spent hours trying to find a good deal on a laptop for my teen. So I can say that $150 for a laptop is a great deal.
