 I'm taking the kids away for the Summer and am looking
 to rent my place for about 10 weeks. It's a single
 family house in Noe Valley/Valencia Corridor. If you
 know anyone who is remodeling their place and needs a
 place to be for a couple of months, or someone
 relocating or that has family coming to SF for the
 summer, please let me know.ThanksGedaliaDad to Ari and
 Ella, now 3.5 years old

2. French Preschool

 Hello twin parents, Our lovely french immersion
 preschool will have two openings in the fall, as my
 boys were accepted to the French American School in
 Sunnyvale. I would love it if another set of twins
 could take their place. A La Vanille is a French
 immersion preschool in South San Francisco that caters
 to the niche of families who believe in naturally
 occurring language acquisition through fun,
 age-appropriate,non-academic preschool activities. My
 boys attended ALV for two years and have made French
 their own language, despite the fact we speak English
 at home. The preschool serves hot, healthy home made
 lunches and my boys will eat almost any veggie I put in
 front of them because of this (even the previously
 picky eater). They also spend lots of time outside in
 the fresh air. Rossanna, the director, has lots of
 experience with twins (and a weakness for them)and
 would welcome a set in September. One of the
 co-teachers also has older twin girls. It's rare they
 have two spots available at the same time. (I put my
 boys on the waitlist when they were 10 months old to
 start at 2 1/2). Children do not have to be toilet
 trained to start, although my boys were so I don't know
 much about how they support toilet training at school.
 Rossanna has being very mindful of tuition for two
 children at the same time, and has offered to waive the
 registration fee for both children (just mention the
 twins group and Barbara Davidson). The preschool has
 been invaluable in helping the boys get accepted at a
 fantastic private school, as well as providing
 developmentally appropriate activities for my boys,
 creating an excellent foundation for learning. Please
 feel free to e-mail me for more info, the website for
 the school is: www.alavanille.com Thanks, Barbara

3. Overwhelmed - is a Mother's Helper the answer?
--------------------------------------------------------
MamaWobin - 5/29/2012 10:53 am

 Hi all, we've got 6-month old boy/girl twins and are
 really feeling overwhelmed lately now that I'm back at
 work. Not with them so much as with things like dishes,
 laundry, paying bills, watering plants, cooking etc.
 There doesn't seem to be any time to get things done.
 The boy will only nap for about 30 minutes at a time so
 it's a mad dash to scarf down some food, let alone
 empty the dishwasher! Wondering if anyone has some
 advice on the best way to get a few hours time here and
 there to do this stuff. Should we hire a mother's
 helper for a few hours on the weekend? Or even in the
 evenings after work? What exactly do Mother's Helpers
 do? And what's the average rate? The other option seems
 to be to hire a babysitter to babysit while we are
 home. Is that more expensive than a Mother's Helper?
 Any advice and information is much appreciated -
 thanks!
