Pre-School Fair in Alexandria

Join the Alexandria -- NE MOMS Club for its 5th Annual Preschool Fair on Tues., Oct. 16 from 10:30am to 1:00pm at the First Baptist Church of Alexandria, 2932 King Street. Representatives from more than 20 local preschools will be on hand to discuss their school's goals and philosophy, and help guide you through the application process, sign up for open houses, and more.

Attendees will receive a booklet listing all of the local preschools, including those not able to participate in the fair.

The Little Black Book

Once in a while, you find a great resource that you can't wait to share -- The Little Black Book Guide for Every Busy Woman is one of those. I pick one up every season. These cute, slim and fabulously free volumes are published by Bloom and are chock full of tips, resources and other word-of-mouth recommended tidbits sure to fit your needs. I find mine at the local Whole Foods Market, but I've seen them at the auto shop, my Obs office and at the Starbucks up the street.

What I love is that recently Betty, the fabulous persona of the Guide, has kicked it up a notch and sends regular quick read, busy mama-friendly, emails with tips, events and new fun stuff for this area.

Check out her site at http://www.everybusywoman.com/ and let them know Capitol Moms sent you.

New for DC Moms - www.DVMMoms.com
