Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Welcome to the March 2010 calendar! Lots of Playdates coming up and RSVP events so make sure you confirm your attendance ASAP as spaces are limited.
A quick Feb. recap of the fun happenings with many thanks to our Feb. Superstars:
Dan (Mayani’s Dad) for hosting the fifth “Book Club” night, we had an amazing chat about the depth and mystique of the book while contrasting it to our own interpretations. We had fabulous appetizers and recalled ‘quotes’ from the book while deciphering the hidden meanings within. “Cat’s Cradle” by Kurt Vonnegut was truly a deep read which sparked great debates and thoughts from the author’s true intent to how the author’s own experiences affected the writing topics. It was a wonderful “Parents’ Night Out!” See you all at the next book club meeting, all interested members are welcome!
All the parents and babies that came out to our Brushstrokes “Mommy and Me” opportunities, we had a lot of fun making clay impressions and pottery! Great presents too (Photo Gallery Link to Brushstrokes Mommy & Me Painting & Story/Song Times.)
Alicia Cervenka from Alicia Cervenka Photography for offering her photography services for family portraits during the month of February.
Amy (Johnny’s Mom) for sharing her scrapbooking talents with Moms for a Parents’ Night Out while we learned how to make Valentine’s Day cards!

To all of the families who came out to play with us for our second PLAYDATE of the MONTH at Gymboree Lafayette, Tuesday 2/16 3 pm and 4 pm; Sunday 2/21 at 12:45 pm! It was a huge success and large turnout for each day, join us for the next one! (Photo Gallery Link to Playdate of the Month Event)
Jue and Satoshi (Yuna’s Mom & Dad) for hosting our third “Cooking Club” night, it was a fun theme of Japanese food and all of us got to roll sushi rolls and learned how to make hand rolls, from start to finish from making the rice, seasoning it to techniques on how to roll it out! Dads, Mommies and Babies enjoyed a night out with delicious food and unique techniques. Thank you to all for participating and contributing and much thanks to Satoshi and Jue for sharing their talents with us. (Photo Gallery Link to Cooking Club Event)
Lilliana’s Clips for hosting a Clip and Hair Accessory Trunk Show for us before Valentine’s Day! Look for the next Trunk Show this month on 3/26.

COMMUNITY BABY
Care Share
Date night is back with no extra costs!
Care Coordinator: Brittany Steward
mbsteward@gmail.com or 925-
Care Share is an opportunity for parents to exchange child care services with one another. This works if everyone participating is willing to provide care as well as receive care from other parents. Imagine, we can go out on date night and not have to worry about the extra expenses of child care! Plus, we have learned more about each other and our babies at DayOne than most people get to know the local teenage babysitter! So, why not Care Share?!
As easy as 1-
1. Contact the Care Coordinator with dates/times you are available to provide care or when you request care.
2. The Care Coordinator update the calendar to reflect what is available. Updates will be posted on Hilarie’s website. The Care Coordinator will also contact the providers/requesters as needed.
3. From there, it is in the hands of the parent who is requesting care to work out the fine details with the care provider who is available to watch their child(ren).
Care Share Ethics:
Please respect one another and our babies.
Protect contact and child information; please do not distribute info to others without permission from our participating parents.
If you ask for care, you commit to providing care.
This program is still an infant (ha!) Suggestions are welcomed and encouraged.

The host will send out an Evite where those attending will sign up for which course
they would like to make-
There we will enjoy a fantastic dinner, share our great recipes, and have some nice conversation! You don't have to be a great cook. Making an easy dish that other moms can make on a weeknight would be great. Or you can go all out and experiment with fancy new recipes. All are welcome!

LEARNING BABY
Lango is a Spanish, French and Mandarin immersion program for kids. We believe children
acquire language best through their nature way of learning, PLAY! If you consider
how your child began acquiring (and may still be acquiring) their language skills,
you’ll probably recognize that play, mimicry and song were all a part of their learning.
At Lango we use what is most comfortable to our Lango Learners to help them hear,
see and retain a new language, all while having FUN! We teach summer camps, after
school programs (pre-

Below is a little more info about US:
Lango is based out of San Francisco, CA and has locations across the US, from L.A.
to New York City. We have recently opened up onto the international stage with classes
in China, using the Lango Method to teach English. While play is at the core of our
curriculum, we also know significant studies have reported that studying a foreign
language over an extended period of time has been shown to accelerate cognitive development,
resulting in higher math and English grades later in life, as well as higher SAT
scores. That may be something that is important to you, or for many others it is
simply the wonderful sounds of another language spoken or the idea of making future
travel for their little ones easier. Our teachers are mostly native speakers and
all have a sincere love of children. Our classes are 45 minutes of instruction, one
or two times per week. We believe language skills are retained best when they are
encouraged at home, so we make class materials such as storybooks, flashcards, puppet
Cosmo Dog (our language helper) and language-
Below is a little more info about our METHOD & CAMPS:
At LANGO we use many levels of learning and multiple senses to help children understand and retain a new language. In a typical class they will see, hear and touch the things they are learning. If the lesson is "in" and "out", they will experience in and out in a variety of ways, maybe through parachute play or walking through rings or seeing the puppet Cosmo Dog work through an action. We call this "Adventure Learning" and this approach draws on various methods of teaching languages, including Total Physical Response, the Rassias Method and Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. Taken in combination, these methods suggest that kids learn best when their entire person is involved–not just listening and speaking, but moving, singing, dancing, playing, feeling, creating and solving problems. Through Camp Lango, we take Adventure Learning a step further, as kids follow the adventures of our characters the Lango Kids, and then go on their own "adventures," challenging activities that they feel great about completing.

Sunday, March 28th: Miniature Dollhouse Showcase from Miniature Creations by
Tammie, this is a “Can’t Miss Event!” Raffles, appetizers &
special showcase of themed items will be available!
(Details under Home Page & Monthly Activities)
Hello All
My name is Ann (Arie's mom). Tammie Knight of 'Miniature Creations by Tammie' will be showcasing her unique miniature room boxes on Sunday, March 28th at giggle at 1359 N. Main St., Walnut Creek.
I have seen Tammie's work and it's amazing. This is absolutely a 'Can't Miss Event'. Since Tammie was a young girl she has tinkered with all things small for countless hours. As a teenager she spent weekend after weekend visiting the Museum of the City of New York’s top floor (where the dollhouses lived). She even convinced a Madison Avenue dollhouse shop that miniatures were in her blood and in spite of her complete lack of retail experience they should hire her...and they did. Some of her most notable clients were Gene Wilder, Marlo Thomas, Dustin Hoffman, Donald Trump (we created Ivanka Trump’s dollhouse), and Sotheby’s New York, to name a few. Enclosed are some of her designs.
If it exists in life-
Please feel free to send this email to friends and other groups who may be interested
in attending. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres will be served and if you can't make
the event and would like Tammie's contact information, it is provided below. If you
plan to attend the event, Tammie will be offering a 20% discount for any purchases
made at the show and any orders placed during that time. Additionally, all participants
who mention Hilarie’s Helpul Hints will be entered into a raffle drawing with a chance
to win a miniature nursery, painted and fully-
I look forward to seeing you all there!! You will not be disappointed.
