His most recent masterpiece is red crayon on my white floral chair. Does anyone have tips for cleaning red crayon off of white fabric? I'd like to salvage my chair. Thank you!

Too Hot to Handle
From Kristin Bishop-Von Wettberg: REPLY We have a wonderful backyard play set for our little ones, but it was not designed for the intense Florida sun and the slide gets too hot for the kids to use most of the year. Does anyone know if there is a way to resurface the slide so that it won't get so hot? Are there companies that do this or is it an easy DIY task? Thank you!

When you need to find the best pediatric dermatologist, interior designer, or personal chef in Miami, you turn to your fellow JABBERS. So it's only fitting that you would turn to each other for book suggestions, too. Summer is soon upon us, so whether you're spending your free time by the pool, at the beach, or in a shady hammock, one thing is certain - you need a good book! Here are some tried and true recommendations to help us all enjoy the lazy days of summer. If you missed Part 1, click HERE, and tune in for Part 3. The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen Recommended By: Amy Semancik Diaz
"Actually, anything from Sarah Addison Allen! I read all of her books last summer after giving birth to my second son and had more time on my hands. The Peach Keeper is her latest book but I started with The Girl Who Chased the Moon which was amazing; I couldn't put it down. Allen's books are kind of like taking you into this quirky world of the "typical" southern family next door," Amy shares. Order HERE.
 Sarah's Key by Tatiana RosnayRecommended By Amy Triggs
With more than five million copies in print and over two years on the New York Times bestseller list, Sarah's Key centers on a ten-year-old Jewish girl's heroic act to save her younger brother from police round-up in 1942 France. Her story intersects with an American journalist investigating the raid sixty years later. The secrets she uncovers link her to Sarah, and unveil questions about her own future. Order HERE.
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
Recommended By: Victoria Assa, JustAskBoo Editorial Director
When a seven-year old white girl is orphaned onboard a ship bringing her from Ireland to America, she is thrust into work with the slaves of a kitchen house at a tobacco plantation. Despite the difference in skin color, Lavinia becomes deeply attached to her adopted family. But when she is accepted into the world of the big house, her loyalties are tested as she makes a choice between two very different worlds. Order HERE.
 Carry the One by Carol AnshawRecommended By: Samantha Schosberg Feuer
Samantha is serious about books: until recently, she drove down to Miami once a month to meet with the club she helped found there years ago. She tells us this book is similar in concept to the movie "I Know What You Did Last Summer," but in book form, and actually good. The story follows a group of friends over a span of 25 years, following their involvement in a fatal car accident. Order HERE. |
