Hi Everyone,

Thought I'd check with you all first.  We are going to get rid of our Sit and Stand double stroller.  If you know of anyone who might be in need of one at your preschools let me know.  I am planning to post on Craig's List otherwise.

Hope you're all well,
Cathy

Hi,

E and I will be at the 4 pm showing:

Not sure if any of you still have strollers, but just in case...

 

Breaking news: Maclaren plans to recall 1 million strollers---all its production between 1999 and 2009---after receiving 12 reports of hinges on the stroller that amputated children's fingertips. The company will send out a cover for the hinges to all owners.

The CPSC and Maclaren will issue a press release in the recall this Tuesday; Maclaren began notifying its dealers of the recall in the past couple of days.

Here is the take-home message until the recall is official:

• Stop using all Maclaren strollers right now---yes, every model made since 1999.

• When the recall goes public on Tuesday, order a hinge cover from Maclaren's web site or phone line. (Note: the web site is not live yet as of this writing).

• Wait until you install the hinge cover before using the stroller again.

We will blogging updates on this recall as they develop this week. Click here to read updates:

Happy birthday! Hope it's grand!

Happy birthday!! Hope you're out celebrating. xo

Hi everyone, Today from 2-8 and all day tomorrow (7:30-4) the SF Day school is having its annual library party/sale. If anyone is interested or wants to do some early holiday shopping, come on by. The school is located on the corner of Golden Gate & Masonic. Go in the Golden Gate entrance, go up the stairs and the gym will be on your right. Corinne

Hi Everyone,

I hope you're all enjoying this beautiful day.  Thought I'd check with all of you first.  Turns I accidentally left Jonah's little Radio Flyer four wheel bike outside yesterday.  I discovered this today when we went to go play with it.  Jonah just kept saying, "Jonah bike, Jonah bike."  So sad.  And I'm so mad at myself.  Sigh. 

If anyone has something like this they want to get rid of let me know.  He's way too small for our trikes at this point.

Thanks!
Cathy

The girls and I will be at Playmates Preschool's Harvest Festival tomorrow.

start time: 10 a.m.

Playmates Harvest Festival and Crafter's Fair

Come celebrate autumn and Halloween with our activity-packed children's festival and crafter's fair. This annual community event includes: cookie decorating, face painting, a jumpy castle, kids' games and prizes, a raffle with cash and other prizes, bake sale, music, a costume/dress-up Boo-tique, and fantastic food.

Parents can browse crafts made by local artisans at our Crafter's Fair. Handmade goods on sale will include: children's clothing, hand knit scarves, felt applique T-shirts, magnets, glass Holiday lights, baby items, cards, sewn toys, jewelry, candles and bath salts.

Details: Admission is $1. Children 5 and under are FREE. Once inside, participants can purchase tickets for games and other activities.

It looks as though dinner on Oct. 18 works best.

I called Elephant Bar (Serramonte), and they can only accommodate us at 5 pm or 9 pm on that night. We either could go with 5 pm -- or go elsewhere, such as Boulevard in Daly City. They can fit us in at 7:30 pm on the 18th.

Also, if you haven't done so already, please let me know if you would like to join us.

Thanks.
