The Night Before My Birthday Book

Highly Recommended! The Night Before My Birthday Book, written by Joni Rubinstein, is a wonderful way to start a new family tradition.  It is a brilliant complement to existing family traditions as it is a way to celebrate your child’s past year and prepare for the turning of the new age. 

Each year, as the book is read, you can record who read the book to the birthday child, the date, and which birthday eve is being celebrated.  You can even document dreams and accomplishments over the past year; a great way to record memories and instill reflection. This book over time becomes a marvelous keep-sake for the child and a unique way to capture both dreams and a loved one’s handwriting.

Beautifully illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal, The Night Before My Birthday Book is a dreamlike poem that builds the anticipation of growing older.  Each page is colorful and well designed, capturing the attention of children and adults alike.
 
The Night Before My Birthday Book will be added to our family’s birthday traditions

Little Stars


Please join us as we create Little Stars for Rady Children's Hospital!
 
Little Stars is a portrait event that will be fun for kids to age 6, pretending to be their family's favorite movie, TV, sports, rock or even food channel stars. 
 
Keane Studios will be photographing your Little Stars at their Carmel Valley studio, and at several other locations, now through November 10.
 
100% of your $24 entry fee and voting donation will be donated to Rady Children's Hospital through the Rancho Santa Fe Auxiliary unit. 
 
Please go to www.littlestars4kids.com for a complete list. You'll also find a gallery of ideas to create your own Little Star, as well as some tips for selecting clothing and props, which can be as simple or elaborate as your 30 minute session - and your child's patience! - can handle. 
 
Voting will be another opportunity to raise funds for RCH. After photography is complete in November, all entered images that are photographed will be posted online for you, your families, and any of your Facebook friends to vote to the top! Prizes for winners will be announced then as well. Votes are only $1 each, but you are urged to vote early, vote often and buy this election because the kids at Children's Hospital are the real winners.
 
Go to www.littlestars4kids.com right now and enter ... maybe one of your Little Stars will be a winner, too!
 
Our goal is to raise $10,000 by the end of the year. Help us make that happen!
