I just saw this area on here as I'd forgotten about it!
Beth- Did you just order from me last week? I am going to look at my orders but just had a mama from Antelope order wool wash.. was that you?
And I'd love to meet up. Just not sure how natural I am beyond cloth diapering. :giggle: But I'm all for learning new stuff you or others have to say about it.:thumbsup:

And I don't make the wash... I wish I knew how. I sell eweneedit wool wash in my CD store. :giggle: Someone new from Antelope purchased just last week or so. Thought maybe it was someone from here.

Mondays is fine with me too. Weekends are my family time so those wont work well for me. I am willing to meet in between or go to South Sac or maybe Elk Grove to hang out. Its worth it to meet nice mamas. : )

I have this monday off ... my DD has a dental appt in the AM. I could have ya over in the afternoon. Anyone else?

Hey mamas,
I am moving to Sacramento mid July and would love advice on where to look for homes to rent, pediatricians, doctors, vet, etc. We are coming up next week to look at some rentals but need advice on neighborhoods, traffic issues, etc. I would really love to live in Davis but the commute might prove to much for DH. TIA for any advice and I hope to meet some of you in the near future!

Where is your DH going to work? Downtown? Rancho Cordova? That would make a bid difference for me.
I would personally would avoid the Meadowview area which is south and east of the Sacramento executive airport. I like Elk Grove (starts south of Sheldon rd) but the commute to downtown is a little long. I also like the Pocket area which is west of the Sacramento executive airport.

My DH will be working at Joint Headquarters, which is off the 50. Looking at a map, it is very close to Mather airport.

I'm right across the way!:goodvibes: Just on the other side of Sunrise Blvd. actually in a new division called Anatolia.
Lots of new homes here, brand new school in our division, 3 parks, private clubhouse with 3 pools, gym.. pretty nice.
Neg. is.. no close grocery stores yet as the city is stalling. And the HOA isn't cheap as they are very anal about keeping the area clean and kept up so charge quite a bit..plus we have the clubhouse to upkeep.

Rancho Cordova is a nice area and close to your DH work ... but I am not that familiar with the prices. Davis would be a :yuck: drive ... DH would have to go through downtown and the Rancho commute. I would look east, northeast, or southeast of downtown Sacramento.
pediatricians, doctors?
We have kaiser ... But I love DD pediatrician Dr Ewing. http://www.permanente.net/homepage/doctor/gilewing/
I havent had a pet in a few years but Bradshaw Veterinary Clinic was our fav.

Thank you. That is VERY helpful! We'll be in the area all of next week house hunting. We have Tricare for insurance but found a pediatrician on the Yahoo AP Doctor referral group that is covered by our plan (yey!).

OMG. Bradshaw Vet. Clinic is the shizzy! I used to see Dr. Shrader there. She was sooo sweet.
Definitely stay OUT of Meadowview, and avoid Oak Park, too. You'll be told Oak Park is undergoing a "renaissance," but it's still a rotten area.
Greenhaven/Pocket is nice. I live here. The commute from here to the Mather area wouldn't be that bad, either, once he gets through downtown because everyone is going INTO downtown, and he'd be going the opposite way. Coming home would be the same--smooth sailing until he gets to downtown. Everyone coming OUT of downtown would cause a slowdown.
Looks like I missed this meetup. I seem to miss them all. LOL! Oh, well. I'll catch one of them. It would be nice to meet people in real life.

Oh, SWOONIES! I love McKinley Park! The park there is SOO nice, and the neighborhood is fabulous. I get my hair cut by George at McKinley Park Hair Company.
Then, you have the Trader Joe's on Folsom Blvd., plus the Sacramento Natural Foods Co-Op is right there on Alhambra---McKinley Park is the place to be.
