[Jen's List] Sunday

[Jennifer Levinson]

I hope everyone had a wonderful week. Wishing you and yours a VERY happy and safe New Years. The Levinson household will be even busier come end of spring/beginning of summer - we found out on Friday that we are expecting 2 more little boys! 5 sons - I will most definitely be the queen of the house!
Take care,

Jen 



Food on Foot 

Alan Kazden is involved in a very special organization (Food on Foot) that feeds the homeless, but more importantly, helps them get back on their feet.  They build their confidence and get people back into paying jobs and apartments.   Food On Foot is currently one of the 5 finalists for a $50,000 prize from Yahoo.  The charity that receives the highest number of individual donors (not the total amount donated) will win the price on December 31, 2007.  It only takes a few seconds and only requires a $10.00 donation with a credit card.  Please go to http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/cybergiving2007/.   Click on "Donate Now" under Food on Foot box.  Then enter $10 (no decimal is necessary) in the "I want to contribute" section.  Next you need to scroll down and click on "Add to Giving Cart".  On the next screen click on Proceed to Checkout.  The rest is entering information. Please help us continue the dream of giving everyone a job opportunity and a chance to be self-sufficient and off of government assistance.  Any contribution must be made by December 31st. Any questions, email him at akazden at rsjcpa.com

Seating Arrangements 
"Seat" is not exactly the first four-letter word that comes to mind for any parent who has gone through the frustrating process of installing a car seat. Is it too loose? Too tight? According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), at least 70 percent of car seats are not used properly - a sobering statistic when you think about all the road trips families take.
Before you skip town for the weekend, make sure the ride is a safe one. Wonderland, the Brentwood, CA children's emporium, offers something far more valuable than just the newest "it" stroller: car seat installation. Below, Wonderland's NHTSA-certified safety expert shares some basic tips for correct installation:
Rear and Center: The safest position to install a car seat (when you have only one child) is in the rear center seat because it's the farthest distance from any point of possible impact. If that seat does not have its own set of latch anchors, use a seatbelt - not the anchors from the outer seats - to secure the car seat.
Harness: When a child is in a rear-facing seat, use the harness slots at or below the child's shoulders. With a front-facing seat, use the harness slots at or above the child's shoulders.
Chest Clip: The chest clip of the harness should be at chest level or armpit level. A chest clip that is not at the appropriate level may slip and separate, and therefore does not offer the greatest possible protection.
Snug and Secure: You should not be able to move the car seat (once it's strapped in) more than an inch from side to side or front to back.
Infant Car Seat Carrier Handle: Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding placement of the carrier handle for a seat that's installed in a car. A manufacturer may specify certain positions that are not safe for transit mode because of a greater chance the child could hit his head on it in a collision.
For more information about car safety seats, visit aap.org. To locate a certified child passenger safety technician in your area, visit www.nhtsa.dot.gov.

Hello! My wonderful nanny who has been with us since our son was 6 months old is in need of a new job. Cassius is going to school in 
January, so we will no longer need her. She is a French speaking student from Belgium (in her mid-twenties) who is looking for work on 
Fridays and Saturdays from noon until whenever. Please let me know if you are interested in her and I will pass on your e-mail. I am out of 
town for the next week, so if I don't respond promptly, it does not mean that she is no longer available.  Thanks! She is truly a great nanny!
