Host Family Pumpkin Patch – Oct 2015

We were blessed with a beautiful fall evening at the pumpkin patch and plenty of activities from hay rides to hay bale mazes. I have to say there’s nothing cuter than our little ones picking out pumpkins that are twice their size! Thanks to everyone that came out and shared in the fun!Oct HF 2Oct HF 3Oct HF 4OCt HF 5Oct HF 1OCt HF 6

Red Cross Pediatric Training – August 2015

After a full day of training, all the Au Pairs walked away informed and ready to handle any emergency situation! Our Red Cross Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED was well received as we had Au Pairs travel in from North and South of the city to join in the fun. It was really impressive watching the young ladies in action, we should feel confident that our kiddos are in good hands! Aug Training Aug Training2 Aug Training3 Aug Training4

SF Scavenger Hunt – July 2015

What we did not know was that it was going to be 90 degrees outside, but that did not slow down these girls! We had a wonderful time scouting out local landmarks and San Francisco favorites as we raced against the clock to complete as many challenges as possible on our scavenger hunt. From pics of sourdough bread to hiking to the top of Buena Vista Park, there was never a dull moment. July EventJuly Pic 2July Pic 3

Urban Putt – June 2015

Putt Putt PicWell, we had some good laughs at our cluster event this month as the golf balls went flying in every direction and some made it into the holes. All the Au Pairs gathered at Urban Putt, over in the Mission District, this is an indoor miniature golf course set in an old Victorian building with the holes built around San Francisco Landmarks. It was a wonderful way to kick off the summer! Putt Putt Pic2

St. Patrick’s Day Brunch – March 2015

We enjoyed a yummy brunch on a beautiful Sunday morning at the The Vestry. It’s so nice for all of us to catch up over coffee, banana bread, and burgers!  Our talks included the history of St. Patrick’s Day and fun activities to do with the kids, as well as our childhood development topic of Children and Stress. It’s helpful to know how to identify the onset of too much stress and anxiety, how to address, and handle moving forward.

Getting Down to Business With Taxes – Feb 2015
