Desperately Seeking Sanity
Even though it's been more than a year since I had to deliver my baby early, I am still struggling emotionally. My baby spent many weeks in the NICU and it has taken its toll on me.

Back to School ... Back to Reality
From Stewart Timothy Carrell: REPLY  The lazy days of summer mean late nights, sleeping in, no schedule and lots of fun. Back to school is around the corner so it's time to re-set our schedules. Three things that will help make the transition a bit smoother for everyone: (1) talking about school subjects, activities, and friends, (2) get your morning and bedtime rituals back in place, (3) start thinking about your childcare needs. Considering a live-in nanny? Need a few more babysitters on reserve? At SitterCentralMiami all babysitters are experienced, qualified, background/referenced checked, CPR/First Aid Certified, and individually screened. The first 25 people who email HERE will receive a free one month membership. Just say JAB!*

Lessons offered in Grand Piano, digital keyboard, acoustic/electric guitars, microphone for piano, guitar and vocal students, artistic development, and arranging and recording with Pro Tools Special.

Underwater Homeowners, Come Up For Air
From From Jacqueline A. Salcines, Esq.: REPLY  Despite the many programs available today to help homeowners with their declining property values and mortgage balances, many believe that they have no options. Lenders today are quickly modifying loans and offering significant mortgage balance reductions on investment and rental properties. Qualified homeowners can also make up to $35,000 to sell their home, whether a homestead or rental property, with the mortgage balance often forgiven. Walking away is never the answer! Whatever the reason is that you fell behind, there is help. Call me at 305.669.5280 for a free consultation to evaluate your situation and discuss available options.*
