August 2011 Newsletter

by Dawn Harris

Summer is flying by now. In just a few short weeks it will be back to school time. I hope you are all enjoying some time outside this long weekend!

Feature Article

It's that time of year when we all like to get away and spend some time with our friends and family. Whether it's a backyard bbq with friends for a few hours or an overnight stay at a family member's cottage, visiting with a baby or toddler can sometimes be challenging. This can especially be true when we are staying overnight at a friend or family members home.

The title of this month's feature article is Going Visiting With Your Baby, written by Elizabeth Pantley - author of Gentle Baby Care. Happy reading!

Bum Genius 4.0 Cloth Diapers with Snaps - At $19.95 each you won't want to miss this deal! Stock up for your baby-to-be or get a few new colours (or even a print) for your little one who is already wearing cloth diapers.

Handheld Formula Mixer - Get rid of those formula clumps that clog your baby's bottle easily and quickly. I found it so easy to take along with me as well for those times that I had to make my daughter's bottle on-the-go.
