I am thankful for you!
I feel as if I just put away the Christmas decorations from 2017. Anyone else?
So much fun over the next few weeks.  Remember to stay focused, hydrated and don’t forget the reason for the season – Peace on Earth and Good Will to All People.

Send A Letter From Santa To Your Child with the US Postal Service

It’s That Time of the Year Again

Something fun for the holidays for the cost of a stamp. A letter from Santa post marked from the North Pole.  And all it costs is your time and a stamp.  This is a yearly program offered by the US Postal Service.
The deadline for 2017 is December 15th.  I suggest mailing the letter by Friday, December 7th.  Read the complete post on SiliconValleyMom.com

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
I am doing a review on this play, but I have to share with you that I loved it.  I loved the dialogue with the snarky comments and double entendre.  I loved the choreography that used the space at the Curran theater so well.  I loved the singing.  And I loved the BLUEGRASS music played by the musicians on the stage.

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.
