Oakland, CA – In the spirit of the holidays and to stimulate shopping in Oakland’s commercial districts in support of local merchants, the City of Oakland announced today that it will offer free parking for the next two Saturdays: December 17 and 24.

“We encourage shoppers to support our local merchants during this holiday season,” said Mayor Quan. “The free parking will make it that much more convenient. However, we do remind shoppers to check their watches to be sure they move their cars before the posted limit expires so that other shoppers may also have the opportunity to take advantage of this holiday ‘gift’ from the City.”

Great News for Breastfeeding Moms!!

Lactation Expenses as Medical Expenses
Announcement 2011-14
The Internal Revenue Service has concluded that breast pumps and supplies that
assist lactation are medical care under § 213(d) of the Internal Revenue Code because,
like obstetric care, they are for the purpose of affecting a structure or function of the
body of the lactating woman. Therefore, if the remaining requirements of § 213(a) are
met (for example, the taxpayer’s total medical expenses exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted
gross income), expenses paid for breast pumps and supplies that assist lactation are
deductible medical expenses. Amounts reimbursed for these expenses under flexible
spending arrangements, Archer medical savings accounts, health reimbursement
arrangements, or health savings accounts are not income to the taxpayer.
The Service will revise Publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses, to include this
information.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For additional information concerning this announcement, contact Amy S. Wei of the
Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Income Tax and Accounting) at (202) 622-7900 (not
a toll-free call).

- We do not buy shoes or socks. We only accept baby slippers if they have been unworn.
- We only accept items that have been prewashed.
- We do not accept clothes with stains, holes or odors.
- We are looking for current styles and no obvious branding – like the company’s name or huge logo on the front.
- Small discreet logos or embellishments are fine.
……………………………………………………………….
Buying Hours – Saturdays 10:00am-12:30pm
- Receive cash for 35% of what we will sell your items for.
- No appointments are necessary.

Plan Toys – Plan and Simple!

Administrator — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 06:59:54 +0000

Plan Toys is all about children. They offer educational toys for every developmental stage of childhood that are made from natural materials non-chemically treated rubber wood . ”We create toys that inspire children’s imagination as well as promote their physical and intellectual development. We’re also proving that it is possible to maintain superior quality standards while steadfastly following a path of environmental and social responsibility.” Wow! Not only is Plan Toys an environmentally and socially responsible company, they strive to produce toys that inspire creativity and imagination in our children, something that more toy companies need to do!

What we like most about Plan Toys is that they are built for years of use. Oliver has a whole set of the little wooden trucks and plays with them on a daily basis. Plan Toys states that these toys will enhance fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Children will develop observational and problem-solving skills, which are the basis of science, through observing the toy’s mechanism.

The little pull toys are second to none! The Dancing Alligator or the Pull-Along Zebra will be an instant favorite! While being pulled, the wooden pieces make rhythmic click-clacking sounds as the dance along. Parents are always searching for good toys for their children – we say look no further!
