The Water Whisperer SWIM SCHOOL:BACK TO SCHOOL? STAY IN THE POOL!

Why? 1) It’s going to be hot for a while! 2) The longer your child practices, the more they will retain skills. 3) If you don’t practice, your child could lose skills and then you’ll waste money and time starting  from scratch next season. Last summer, educator Emily Cohen, who developed the program, and her team helped my 4 yr olds, who were very afraid, swim and become safer in the water. Swim in ten lessons! WW has a 98% success rate with kids 3 and up but start with 5 month old babies. The W W uses original songs as part of their creative, nurturing and developmental approach.  They are in Sherman Oaks and WoodlandHills. Heated, saline pool* CPR certified* Lifeguarding* Pool parties.www.thewaterwhisperer.com (Read the testimonials and watch the amazing

High Heel in a Haystack Can Help You and Your Closet
I had the best experience with Robin Wiener, from High Heel in a Haystack
and I wanted to share! She came over to help me clean out my closet and purge clothing…that I have not gotten rid of, literally in about 10+ years. Because I was ALWAYS pregnant or JUST post pregnancy for about 8 of those years, my sizes varied
drastically and I still had clothing in my closet that were 3 sizes too big! Needless to say, it was a disaster, I could not find anything and truly ended up wearing 2-3 things over and over. Robin made it so that not only is everything in my closest up to date with
the current style, but they fit and are easily accessible. I highly recommend her – she is breath of fresh air and welcome in my house anytime!  www.highheelinahaystack.com
Here are before and after photos:

AnJ plumbing
After seeing Jens List member refer them over and over, I called them last week to fix a leak outside. I have to say they were terrific! Even if you don’t need a plumber right now, SAVE THIS INFO…you never know when it will come in handy. Here are the other reviews I have rec’d in the past:
Referred by Jens List member ninasavelle@aol.com – after finding them on Jens List!
“They were AWESOME. They arrived on time, were thorough, explained everything and were reasonably priced. I really appreciate being able to call a new plumber with confidence.”
and also jiran.saevitzon@yahoo.com – after finding them on Jens List!
After seeing their post on your list I called them up to fix my kitchen faucet which had a leak. I had also called another company who had just left my house and quoted me $570 to replace the inner tube of the faucet. A n J came out right away within 30 minutes of my call to them and replaced the tube for $85. I can’t thank them and you enough. I am now a huge fan and I hope everyone uses them in the future.”

Important Education Documentary – “Race To Nowhere”
September 10th-16th from 3:15 and 7:30 Daily
Sunset 5 Theater in West Hollywood
A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the high stakes, high pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children’s life. She leads a grass roots effort to transform education, redefine achievement and safeguard the health of our children.  This remarkable new film shines a light on the price young people pay for this “race to nowhere.” High-stakes testing has replaced meaningful teaching and learning. Cheating is commonplace. Stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant. Many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired. Bring students, parents, teachers and administrators together to see the film together and ask: How can we best support the youth of America today and prepare them to become healthily, bright contributing and leading citizens? How do we define achievement? How can end the race to nowhere??
