This is a big year for birthdays. Here at JustAskBoo, we're celebrating our 5th, while the Sunshine State is celebrating its 500th! The party planning is already in the works for our big bash and we can't wait to share it with you this spring. In the meantime, why not commemorate our beautiful state by planning to visit some of Florida's hotspots? With over 1,260 miles of coastline, hundreds of parks, museums, tourist attractions and theme parks galore, our great state is the ideal destination for a weekend road trip or a spring break escape. Speaking of spring break ... over the next few weeks, we'll be highlighting Florida events and locations in our Destination ... Florida feature section at the bottom of each newsletter - just in time for you to plan your springtime getaway. We'd love your input too, JABBERS! Whether it's an adventure-filled vacation with the kids or a romantic reprieve for two, where is your favorite Florida destination and why? Let us know HERE and we'll feature your response in an upcoming newsletter. |

Fertility Feedback
After a couple of failed IVF attempts with our local fertility doctor, my husband and I are considering going to the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine to see Dr. Schoolcraft. Before we incur the expense of another IVF cycle and travel expenses, I would love to hear if anyone has been to the CCRM and what their experience was like. Thanks!

JABBERS Bring Smiles to Deserving Children
From Team JAB
 We want to thank you again and update you on the adorable children from United Way of Miami-Dade's Center for Excellence in Early Education whom you generously helped during the holidays. Through our JustAsk charitable campaign, you JABBERS rallied to provide toys to make the season bright for numerous children who live at or below the poverty line. The children were incredibly thankful and they continue to enjoy their gifts. The Garotalo family said, "We are truly grateful for the gifts. I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart." Thanks again, JABBERS! |

Dreams for DaddyFrom Rachael Hodyno: REPLY
I think my father would be perfect for professional voice-over work. He was a radio and television personality in the 1950s and 60s, and I think this would be a wonderful activity to pursue now that he's semi-retired. Does anyone have any experience in this field? I would love to know what's involved so that I can gather the information and present it to him as a gift. Thanks for your help!

Divorce Details
I am in desperate need of advice. I have an attorney representing me in my divorce proceedings, but I would like a second opinion on certain matters as I am not sure my attorney is doing everything he can. I can't hire another attorney, but I am hoping you know of someone I can talk to about my issues. Or, if you have gone through a recent divorce, I would love to chat with you. I greatly appreciate your help.

Alaskan Adventure
This summer, we are taking a cruise to Alaska. We would like to do some activities without booking them through the cruise, specifically dog sledding and a trip to see a glacier either by helicopter or small plane. If you have any recommendations for tour companies that can arrange those outings, I would appreciate you sharing them with me.

Wine, Women & Shoes Wows
From Team JAB 
JAB founder Boo Zamek and JAB's sales sensation Adi Almeida hit the town at the 2nd Annual Wine, Women & Shoes fundraiser to benefit Miami Children's Hospital Foundation. This fabulous event pairs great style with great causes across the nation. With a fashion show by Neiman Marcus, a silent auction, a shopping expo, prizes for the best shoes, and a luncheon featuring select wine pairings, this was the perfect way to spend an afternoon with Miami's most fashionable do-gooders.

Speak My LanguageDoes anyone know of places where my children can learn conversational Hebrew? Perhaps a mommy and me class, playgroup, babysitter or an au pair could be an option? I want my infant and toddler to start learning the language at a young age, but not in a school environment. Todah rabbah!

I am so tired of looking at boxes of my law school textbooks. I need advice on what to do with them. I am certain they are too old to sell, and they haven't been referenced in years. Are they worth saving as office decor? Is there a place they can be donated? I would love to hear JABBERS opinions. Thanks.
