Irvinehomeowner~ Did you ever find an art class for your kids?

The calendars are up for the 2014-15 and 2016-17 School Years.  I'm not sure if they are the "final" calendars, but I am assuming they are since they are on the iusd website. https://www.iusd.org/calendars_events/ For the upcoming year, I note the following: -Thanksgiving break is the whole...

So after a bit of detective work, we recently found out that either the housecleaner or the housecleaner's spouse stole some gift cards from us. (They used the giftcards to buy something online and the retailer released the name of the purchaser to us -- the name of the housecleaner's spouse)...

If you haven't checked out the school website, you should do that.  http://teachersites.schoolworld.com/webpages/woodbury1st/index.cfm You can pretty much follow along with the homework that the 1st grade teachers are handing out.  The math workbooks are available online as well...

We go to a different year round school, and social-wise at that age I don't think there'll be that much of an impact. At a month and a half out, your son will probably be starting up right after the fall break, so he'll be starting "anew" like everyone else in the class.  Last year, there were...

Ikea - Tuesday night, kids eat free.  Doesn't apparently matter how many kids in your party, or how many adults either.

My previous children were delivered at Hoag, so I just wanted that continuity.  It's a beautiful facility and we've always had good experiences. I've been having to visit Hoag recently around the lunch time hour and the traffic on the 55 is crazy.  It takes 45 minutes minimum to get from...

Maybe we all were too difficult for her.  No, she was experiencing some medical issues and I guess she did some soul-searching during her time off to recover from surgery.  She got a great job offer somewhere else with a significantly reduced workload.  More power to her.

I need names before I can look at hands! Arghh...now I'm going to be staring at doctor's hands, trying to figure out if they are small enough...

Two more months to go before my delivery date and my OB/GYN up and quits on me. Any recommendations of who I should check out?  Anybody hear anything about Dr. Karamardian in Newport Beach?  That's one name that has been thrown at me, but she seems to have mixed reviews on Yelp and such.

Thanks everyone.  I had already taken my kid to see my own optometrist by the time people starting posting.  But I'll keep the references in mind if we have to go back in!

This is so unbelievably sad.  The story I heard was a mom offered to watch someone else's kid so that the other parent could get some stuff done.  The "caregiver" had her own kids to watch at the pool, and I guess didn't notice the 3-year old child go missing.  This is something that could...

I currently use Microsoft Essentials, but I'm just nervous that it isn't enough. I'm fine with paying for good software, but worried about how it would work with my computer.  I recall having McAfee a couple of years ago, and it felt like it really slowed down my system. Irvinecommuter, what...

I am so technologically challenged, please share your recommendations!  What do you have on your own PC?

Second grader is starting to squint at stuff and telling me things look blurry.  Any recommendations? 

According to US News, the #182 ranking is out of 18,196 high schools. The state ranking of #29 is out of 2,039 high schools. That puts Uni High in the top 1% of high schools in the nation, and the top 1.4% of high schools in California. Not that it really means much.  The methodology doesn't...

That third plan layout is terrible.  You have to walk through the dining room to get to the great room?

Signed my kid up for Horse Riding Camp for Spring Break next week at Newport Mesa Riding Center in Costa Mesa.  I just found out that they need 3 more kids to sign up or they'll cancel the camp.  ??? If you all know anyone whose kids might be interested, please please have them consider horse...

I thought they had to have earned income to put money in their Roth IRA. For our own kids, their modelling/acting career doesn't seem to be taking off, so we're continuing to attempt to fund the 529s.

We picked this up at Legoland for $180.  Looks pretty awesome.  My sister-in-law is going to love it! http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Star-Wars-10225-R2D2/dp/B007SA1QYO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355813188&sr=8-1&keywords=r2d2+lego
