Dear JABBERS bubble - blue
We have an extraordinary team of women at JustAskBoo! That's why we love that March is Women's History Month. We owe a lot to the pioneers throughout women's history who fought for our right to receive an education, climb the corporate ladder and share our voice in democracy. We have seen women shatter glass ceilings and make notable contributions as political activists, teachers, entrepreneurs, Supreme Court justices, university presidents, Fortune 500 CEOs, moms-extraordinaire and even celebrities! Whether the woman in your life is your mother, sister, daughter, mentor, wife or best friend, take the time to acknowledge the wonderful impact they've made in your life.

Happy Women's History Month and Happy JABBING,
-Team JAB

Camp Counsel

From Team JAB

JABBERS, we want to hear from you! If your child has been to sleepaway camp, what is one thing you always packed in his or her trunk (aside from basic clothes and toiletries)? Whether it's a memento to make them think of home, special stationery, medical supplies, a warm blanket or even a secret stash of Mad Libs - we want to know what you packed and why it's so important to your child. Email us HERE. Happy JABBING!

Let's Go Surfin' Now
From Melissa Engelberg: REPLY 
My husband's 40th birthday is coming up and our kids and I would love to take him away for a relaxing weekend at a beach where he can surf. We have two to three days and want to go somewhere local and family friendly, but where the waves are great. Any ideas? Thanks for your suggestions! 
 
 
Wild Wild West
From Emily Hinsdale:  REPLY 
I am determined to get my Florida kids some good Western time! Can anyone recommend a nice place in Colorado to rent a cabin this summer? I would prefer locations somewhere in the Southern part of the state. Thanks so much!


Going Green  
From Team JAB 
The fashion world has spoken JABBERS. Beating out all the other colors in the  rainbow, Emerald has been named the new "it" color for spring 2013 by trend forecaster, Pantone Color Institute. So, it's out with Tangerine Tango (last year's "it" color) and in with vibrant shades of green. So, if you are looking at a closet full of orange, don't fret. With spring still a few weeks away, you can get a fashion jump-start by adding a green silk scarf or handbag to your wardrobe.
Already in the (fashion) know? Then, share your style-savvy advice with JABBER Rebecca who is deciding on the perfect color dress to wear to her second wedding reception, or JABBER Portia who is searching for the perfect gloves. Happy shopping and Happy JABBING! 


Wine Country
From Lisa Mishurda:  REPLY
In celebration of my 40th birthday, six adults are heading to Napa and Sonoma for a week to indulge in a little wine tasting and touring. The accommodations are booked, but we would like recommendations for must-see vineyards, nice restaurants, balloon ride and a bike-touring companies. Thanks for your insight!
 

The Cost of Greatness
From Veronica McNab:  REPLY 
My nine-year-old daughter has been taking private ice skating lessons for a few years and has expressed an interest in pursuing it competitively. If you have experience on supporting a child athlete at the competitive level, I would love to hear from you. I am interested in receiving feedback regarding the time and financial commitment that is involved and whether you honestly feel it has been worth it. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance!
 
 



Out of Sync
From Rachel Charlupski: REPLY
I am having problems with my Google Apps, Google, BlackBerry and Mac all syncing. I am looking for someone more skilled than a Genius or Geek to help me fix this mess! Is there anyone you recommend? Your replies are appreciated.
  

Fits Like a Glove
From Portia Boss:  REPLY

Destination ... Florida    

From Team JAB

It's the Sunshine State's 500th birthday and we're celebrating by sharing some uniquely-Florida events and getaways. We'd love your input too, JABBERS! To share your favorite Florida destination, email us HERE and we'll feature your response in an upcoming newsletter.

  • Head to White Springs, the perfect spot to begin your Suwannee River paddling, hiking and camping adventure.
  • Experience Old Florida and indulge in sweet Cedar Key clams in Cedar Key, where time stands still.
