1. Housekeeper recommendation?

We need someone to clean for us biweekly, but some of
the rates I've read on yelp.com are outrageous. We
have a 2 Br/1 Ba apt. I know others have raised this
question before on the forums & have been provided
recommendations, but those threads are all several
months old & older, so I'm hoping for fresh referrals
from people who may be available now. Thanks in
advance!

Hello wise parents, I am traveling alone with my 15
month old twins in June. I am a bit nervous and am
looking for tips if anyone has any advice for traveling
alone. This won't be their first trip, but it will be
my first one alone since they have been walking. We
are flying from SF to Chicago. I am looking for advice
about actually getting on the plane as well as many
other questions or just logistical must-know tidbits
you can share:1.) Has any traveled with their Britax
Boulevard and did it fit in the seat? 2.) I have 3
seats. One for each of us. Should I have one car seat
and one seat to play on? Should I bring both car seats
and try to get them to stay in their the whole time?
(Seems next to impossible with two VERY active
toddlers)3.) Do you use Go-Go travelers or did you use
a stroller when traveling alone?4.) Any iPhone apps
that have provided serious entertainment?5.) Any other
must-knows/must-do's?Many thanks, in advance! Lisa

My guys just turned 3 and have been in preschool 2 days
a week since last fall. I don't think there was
anything we could have done to prepare them for
preschool. Most preschools will have you come for 2-3
playdates at the school before school officially starts
so that they can get to know the classroom and play
areas.

I did a long search for the same and we ended up with
the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The hybrid part isn't
necessary, we just wanted to go green. But I think the
highlander is by far the most twin-friendly SUV and
while I've heard minivans (esp Sienna) are great they
are significantly longer thus harder to park.
Highlander is about 188 inches which isn't very long
for 3 row optional SUV and it has a rear backup mirror
which frankly makes it easier to parallel park than my
old Corolla. The great thing is that if you choose to
use the 3rd row, you can access it without removing any
carseats in the second row by simply removing the
middle seat. It's very easy. Every other one we looked
at, we would have had to uninstall a car seat to get to
the third row. If you're thinking about carpools etc
down the road it's a nice option to have. It rides
great and we're very happy with it.
