Thanks for being there Night Owl Pediatrics!

I just want to give a shout out to Night Owl Pediatrics in Pleasant Hill. We took my son there twice recently, once for an embedded tick in his head and once for an inflamed mosquito bite in his private parts (yikes!). Night Owl is there after hours, when all the other offices are closed...which is usually when injuries, spiked fevers, etc. occur in my household. The doctors are wonderful and many of them have worked or still work at Children's and have ER experience. They can even Xray and set broken bones (fortunately we have not had to use this yet). The office gets us in right away (which is way better than sitting in an ER and waiting for hours and hours) and our insurance covers the visit. We just have our copay. Great service for parents living in Contra Costa and Alameda counties. They are always there for us and I highly recommend them to you. Check out there website at http://www.nightowlpediatrics.com or file this away in your Mommy Memory for future use. I know it will come in handy!

Lamorinda Realtor Lily Wescott Launches "School Booster" Program

Fellow Larmorinda mom and J. Rockliff Realtor, Lily Wescott, just launched her new "School Booster" program for homebuyers and homesellers buying in Lamorinda and surrounding areas in Contra Costa County. Lily will donate $1000 to a local school of your choice upon each closed transaction between now and the end of the year. Our public schools are in crisis and this is Lily's way of going beyond Measure A to help put money where our schools are. The budget cuts still loom and most parents are feeling very anxious about the impact this will have on our kids education. "School Booster" won't help save an eliminated position, but it will certainly boost current contribution, donations and fund raising efforts and help preserve the top performing schools (and property values) that make Lamorinda living one of the best in the Bay Area. Kudos to Lily! If you are looking to buy/sell a home in Lafayette/Moraga/Orinda and need an agent who knows the market as a parent and longtime resident, call Lily of Lamorinda at (925) 330-6108 or visit her website at LamorindaHome.com.
