According to most people you need to get/review your life insurance when the following events occur in life.
Since we are waiting for our first baby bean and does not have life insurance, I started to get a little nervous about it and did some research. Most of the websites does not give you quote online, but asks you for your personal information and tells you to wait for someone to call you with a quote. However, Prudential site does give you quote online if you are curious how much it will cost to get your life insurance.
There are also caculators out there which tells you how much coverage you need. Some good places were Matrix Direct and Prudential.
Westside Ballet is a great place to take your yongsters to get their agility and muscle development up. They provide a ton of Ballet education, your child can start early and continue going if they want. Check them out.
Little Dolphins by the Sea may be the coolest preschool ever. My wife and i went on a walk today and stumbled on this place. They started as a co-op 17 years ago in a back yard in the Palisades and now they are in Santa Monica in a huge facility. Their website shows some of the things they do with kids and its awesome, very creative, and hands on, cooking and painting etc… awesome stuff. I will say this after looking at their prices i was a bit shocked, they are truly expensive…..
2008 – 09 Little Dolphins By The Sea Preschool Program – $12,900
2008 – 09 Little Dolphins By The Sea Transitional Kindergarten – $17,500

If you are not into pounding the pavement to find that perfect teddy bear, then you might want to visit the classic and original teddy bear vendor. Well, to visit them in person you have to go to Vermont, but online is a good option. The Vermont Teddy Bear Company has been in business for a long long time. I remember Howard Stern doing their ads for Valentines day. They have probably the widest selection of teddy bears anywhere. You can select by sport, occupation, religious occasion, and on and on. If you want a huge variety to choose from or if you just want to buy a ton of different bears they are your best bet.
A desitnation that all parents will have to hit at some point. The bike store. Bike Attack is a high end bike store, however if your kids want the best this is the place to go. They sell and service pretty much anything on 2 wheels that doesnt have an engine.

Casa Allegra is a great find for kid toys. We stumbled upon this place yesterday, I’ve seen it a million times but never realized they sold toys, and boy do they. They have a great variety of stuffed animals, dogs, pigs, bunnies and giraffes, among many others. All of their stuffed animals were so soft you didn’t want to let them go. They also sell wooden block puzzles and all sorts of other games. No kids activities here though, its just about shopping. If you are looking for stuffed animals or toys for your kid you should definately check out Casa Allegra.
