 School's (almost) out for summer. I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to summer break for a multitude of reasons, but I was reminded recently of one major summer bummer: not being able to see my fellow school moms on a regular basis. So before the final bell rings, why not forward JustAskBoo to all the cool and fun moms at your kid's school? You know they'd love JABBING just as much as you do. And in a month in a half, when you've had it up to here with the "what are we going to do today?" and "there's nothing fun around here" - won't you feel better knowing you've delivered some relief to others in your same position, in the form of a weekly JAB-break? Now, that's an "A" for Effort if you ask me. Happy JABBING! |

What is JustAskBoo? JustAskBoo is an easy, fun and free way of helping you connect with your friends and theirs, in order to share information: resources, recommendations, referrals, advice, help and more. They also use it to spread the word about special events, advertise their businesses and improve their communities. It works kind of like a community bulletin in the form of an e-newsletter. It is safe, easy to use, no-nonsense, and family-friendly.
Once a week you will receive a JustAskBoo email with postings on it. Most of these postings are FREE, and are from people looking to YOU to help them find things they need.
Are you looking for something specific but don't know how to find it? A handyman? A lamp repair shop? A personal trainer or caterer or piano teacher? Wondering where you can buy a new swingset? JAB it! Simply email me at courtney@justaskboo.com , I'll post your request on the next newsletter, and other readers will respond directly to you. That's it. No strings, no drama. All I ask is that you help me spread the word. Let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to helping you.
