Do you know someone who is looking for affordable preschool here in the Temecula Valley? I tell everyone I know about the FANTASTIC and very affordable Temecula Parks & Rec class Little Learners (held at Harveston), but they book up fast (even with a waiting list.) Now there is something new: a preschool class at Fitwize called Terrific Tots. It's for 3-5 year olds and is two days a week (9:30-12:30) for $150/month. Contact Fitwize at 676-KIDS for more info.

The Temecula Coffee Bean is located on Temecula Parkway at Margarita (in the Home Depot shopping center.)

Friday the 13th plus snow?...They say we are due for real snow again this winter (or so the 5th graders in my neighborhood tell me.) I don't know the odds on that, but a sure thing is The Promenade Mall's holiday kickoff celebration featuring Santa and snow. Check out all the details at www.promenadeintemecula.com.
And while you're at the mall...check out the grand opening on Friday, November 13, of paint-your-own-pottery store Paint a Dream, located next to Pottery Barn.

Morning Memo
Morning Memo from Juliet for Saturday, November 14, 2009
A brisk fall good morning to you!
It is a perfect morning for heading out the Temecula Farmer's Market in Old Town to re-stock with fresh produce. This is the time of year when I like to make a lot of soups, including my favorite Tuscan white bean soup with rainbow greens or local kale. I am also going to stop in at local favorite Jack's Nuts to stock up on some small, special hostess gifts for winter events. (The Spice Merchants is another great spot for picking up unique little gifts with a beautiful presentation, plus she always has a pot of delicious and fragrant tea to sample.)
It is a little chilly (at least by my California-native standards), but there's not a cloud in the sky. It's a perfect day to head over to Harveston for the 14th annual Police K-9 competiton and public safety fair. Check out the city's site for full info.) It runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is a great event for the entire family.
Also happening today: my friend and local Realtor Rachel Lopez of Lighthouse Realty is presenting a Distressed Homeowner Workshop at 10 a.m. at the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce. Even if it's too late to attend when you read this, if you need help, call (951)526-7858 to speak to Rachel. She is very knowledgeable about foreclosure-avoidance and will honestly and empathetically discuss all of your options with you. Rachel has begun speaking more and training other professionals, but her first love is her clients, whom she treats with the utmost respect and regard.
The calendar really books up around this time of year. Make sure to write in (in ink! This is a do-not-miss) local jewelry artisan Tina Steinberg's "Sweet Scentful Succulent Stylish Sunday Sale" on Sunday, December 6, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Contact her at info@tinasteinberg.com to RSVP or for questions. There will be Tina's jewelry (at great holiday sale prices), Sprinkles cupcakes, Vera Alexander's Scentsy candles (mmmm....Scentsy! Follow her on twitter as @LoveScentsy), and even chair massage. This will be a do-not-miss event!
Also, if you missed the snow last night at the Promenade Mall, make sure to mark your calendar to attend Bel Villaggio's Snow Day on Saturday, December 12.
Starting on November 27 ("Black Friday"), register with any Bel Villaggio merchant to win a $500 or $100 shopping spree. I already have plans to shop with my holiday postcard coupon at Tangerine Boutique and make a custom "grandchildren" locket charm at Tina Steinberg's studio located inside Anela Apothecary, so that is where I will enter.
You can also enter to win $100 in "Bel Villaggio Bucks" by texting BVSHOPS to 25827.
On December 12, Bel Villaggio will have its Snow Day, with over ten tons of snow, live KFROG radio remote with Santa Frog, jolly jump and face painting for the kids, gift wrap table, and more. Bel Villaggio has free wi-fi throughout so I might even be doing a little real-time blogging.
What more could a girl want?
Festively yours,
Juliet

Morning Memo
Morning Memo from Juliet for Friday the 13th, 2009
Good morning!
This is cool! I attended the first SITSCation conference for female bloggers at the beautiful Venetian in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. (If you don't know what SITS is yet, check it out, and refer a blogger over there today. It is truly life-changing!)
It was funny that I traveled all the way to Las Vegas to meet a dynamic, intelligent, creative woman who lives in my own backyard: Holly Suso, creator of My Mompreneur.
(The local connection to SITS, Tiffany, tweets as @SITSGirls, and Holly of My Mompreneur tweets as @hsuso; add them to your Follow list today.)
Do you know someone with mortgage woes? Expert local realtor Rachel Lopez of Lighthouse Realty is presenting a Distressed Homeowner Workshop this Saturday, November14, at 10 a.m. at the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce. Call (951)526-7858 to RSVP to attend or for more info.
I have been raving to everyone I know about the hottest new thing in "candle technology," Scentsy.
Have you seen this? It's a warmer that safely and gently melts wax with a lightbulb. No flame, no wick, no dangerously hot burner. And their scents are fabulous.
My friend Jen Matis, who styles hair at Colours Salon on Jefferson, introduced me to Vera Alexander, who sells Scentsy locally. You can find Vera on Facebook or tweeting as @LoveScentsy.
This is such a busy time of year so mark your calendar early to attend local jewelry artisan Tina Steinberg's "Sweet Scentful Succulent Stylish Sunday Sale" on Sunday, December 6, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. Contact her at info@tinasteinberg.com to RSVP or for questions. There will be Tina's jewelry (at great holiday sale prices), Sprinkles cupcakes, Vera's Scentsy candles (mmmm....Scentsy!), and even chair massage. This will be a do-not-miss event!
Fragrantly yours,
Juliet

Morning Memo
Morning Memo from Juliet for Tuesday, November 10, 2009
UPCOMING: Distressed Homeowner Workshop featuring Realtor Rachel Lopez of Lighthouse Realty! This free workshop will be at 10 a.m. on November 14 at the Murrieta Chamber of Commerce. Know someone who needs advice? Forward this info to them today.
Good morning! If school or work feels a little empty, it's because flu (H1N1 "swine" variety and plain old seasonal) are here. Track H1N1 locally at the County public health department's site.
Our younger child was diagnosed with asthma and every winter she gets a mild cough that turns into months of late night and early morning hacking, so the day the first 1,600 H1N1 shots (not the mist, which people with asthma cannot have) arrived in Riverside County, I hustled her down to the nearest available location, the walk-in clinic in Perris.
It was pretty much exactly like you'd expect a county public health clinic to be, and in Perris, too. The guy in line in front of us was there to be seen for a possible tattoo infection.
We waited and waited and waited and finally had to leave because our older daughter was arriving home from school soon. We left without getting the shot and need to head back to brave the lines again, if there are still shots remaining in that batch of 1,600.
Thimerosol-free H1N1 shots for pregnant women are available starting today in EXTREMELY limited quantities. The nearest location for Temecula Valley residents is...the county health clinic in Perris. So go join hundreds of coughing, sniffling, and tattoo-itching Parisians (Perrisites?) if you dare.
Fever-free-ly (so far!) yours,
Juliet

Seen/Scene
The Calendar...brought to you by: SEEN/SCENE
Go behind the scenes...The Temecula Chamber's Valley Young Professionals group is presenting a "back of the house" tour of city hall on Tuesday, November 10 from 8:30-10:30 a.m. City Hall is located at 43200 Business Park Drive. This is a great opportunity to meet the movers and shakers and learn how the city runs.
Wednesday, November 11 (Veteran's Day)...Kids' fitness center Fitwize 4 Kids (proudly locally-owned and operated by my friends Bobbi & Brian Klein) is offering FREE classes today at 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, and 4:00 p.m. Contact them at 676-KIDS for more info.
Also at Fitwize...Do you know someone who is looking for affordable preschool here in the Temecula Valley? I tell everyone I know about the FANTASTIC and very affordable Temecula Parks & Rec class Little Learners (held at Harveston), but they book up fast (even with a waiting list.) Now there is something new: a preschool class at Fitwize called Terrific Tots. It's for 3-5 year olds and is two days a week (9:30-12:30) for $150/month. Contact Fitwize for more info.
Giving Starbucks' pumpkin spice lattes a run for the money...Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is once again having a Holiday Open House on Thursday, November 12 from 4-8 p.m. Come try FREE 12 oz. drinks. Choices include peppermint latte, pumpkin latte, or Winter Dream Tea latte, all available hot or ice blended. The Temecula Coffee Bean is located on Temecula Parkway at Margarita (in the Home Depot shopping center.)
Shop 'til you drop...Local fitness guru Michelle Rotell is hosting a holiday boutique at a private home featuring the fitness wear and other clothes and accessories that she sells at trunk shows around town. The boutique will feature many other vendors as well. Contact her at mrotell@roadrunner.com for more info.
Spreading the joy of reading...the Business Women's Network (BWN) is running a book drive now through December 31. Drop your good-condition books, DVDs, CDs, and VHS tapes to one of the collection locations: Tesoro Winery in Old Town or Artist's Gourmet Cafe, 41790 Winchester Road.
Friday the 13th plus snow?...They say we are due for real snow again this winter (or so the 5th graders in my neighborhood tell me.) I don't know the odds on that, but a sure thing is The Promenade Mall's holiday kickoff celebration featuring Santa and snow. Check out all the details at www.promenadeintemecula.com.
And while you're at the mall...check out the grand opening on Friday, November 13, of paint-your-own-pottery store Paint a Dream, located next to Pottery Barn.

SEEN/SCENE
IT'S FUNNY 'CAUSE IT'S TRUE...Thanks to East Coast Tipster Cate for sending me this blog post (check out the last line for where the guy is moving to next.)
TRY THE CHERRY LIMEADE...Midwestern cult fave Sonic has a third Riv Co location. Yup, the Murrieta Hot Springs Road (just west of Margarita) location is NOW OPEN. (Other county locations are in Hemet and out in the desert in Cathedral City.) My mom and dad ate at a 50s vintage Sonic on an architectural driving tour that included Tulsa, Oklahoma. (Mom got a small sundae and Dad got a Diet Coke. I say they missed the boat! Everyone says the thing to get is the cherry limeade.)Eclectic Books owner Tess, whose shop shares a parking lot with Sonic, was spotted trying the tots.
STORMY WEATHER...A winter storm is blowing into town today with rain predicted for Monday (10/12) night. They say a year with many Daddy Longlegs (aka "Harvestman") spiders means a rainy fall and winter. Have YOU seen more spiders than usual? I know we have. Do black widows count?
DID WE JUST GET DISSED?...Check out a blogger's take on attending the Temecula Valley International Film Festival on the Focus On....page. Hey, at least they know where Temecula is, right? (Thank you, Sir, may I have another?)
VEGAS-STYLE GLAM...long-awaited Old Town hot spot The Edge is finally open. Fun, fun, fun. Temecula really doesn't have another restaurant quite like this. It would be a perfect spot for a date, girls' night out, or even an over-the-top proposal. Check it out!
COUNTRY WINE WEDDINGS....The Knot honoree Ponte is offering a 33% discount on winter weddings for up to 100 guests. Think snow-capped mountains and pleasantly cool temps on Ponte's beautiful grounds. Check out this and other deals at Ponte's site.

Autumn is in the air. Kids are packing into school buses to head out to Peltzer Farms, an adorably cute pumpkin patch (plus pony rides, petting zoo, and pig races) in Wine Country. Anyone who has had to stand in a ten-deep line waiting for the porta-potty after the long drive out to Bates Nut Farm will appreciate having a local alternative.
This is THE month for local Disneyland season pass holders to swamp the park. Friday was a "pupil-free day" at TVUSD elementary schools and it seemed like everyone in my Facebook feed was "in line for Space Mountain" or "stuck on the 91." Tipster Carolyn reports via her sister Loretta that Disneyland reached capacity for season pass holders on Friday afternoon. Today is Columbus Day and perfect Disneyland weather -- cool but dry -- so it should be another big day at the Mouse.
Everyone seems to be sniffling and sneezing, whether with coughs, colds, allergies, H1N1 "swine" flu, or regular good ol' seasonal flu. Our oldest daughter was sick for a week with the standard variety, which included fever, chills, and body aches. The day she was better I hustled both kids off to CVS's Minute Clinic for flu shots. (I figure lightning doesn't often strike twice but who wants to have the flu twice in one year?)
Local friend and Daily Temecula Tipster Reshma recommended Minute Clinic to me last year and I was very impressed. They have a fantastic and quick computerized sign-in procedure and we were seen very quickly. Two registered nurses working together administered the shots (including measuring out a pint-sized dose for our three year old after weighing her, and examining our seven year old including taking her temperature since she had been sick earlier in the week.) They submitted insurance paperwork and our PPO insurance covered both girls' shots ($30 cost) at 100%. Plus I was able to buy all of our Halloween candy at the same time.
H1N1 "swine" flu is definitely here in Riverside County. An October 6, 2009, County Department of Public Health press release says the County is scrambling to get vaccine clinics up and running by early this week. The first doses will be nasal spray, which is not recommended for anyone with a chronic health condition (including asthma), pregnant women, and adults over age 49.
Obsessive much? Track H1N1 locally on this website.
Have a crisp and brisk fall day!
