Hi all!

Anyone have their christmas tree up yet? I just put mine up this week, but I am in Canada and now that thanksgiving and halloween are over, christmas is fair game :) I am a lover of Christmas, I am playing christmas music, eating gingersnaps, looking at my tree, and sipping home made apple cider.

I am not sure how many people actually read these newsletters, but if you have been noticing I have been lacking a bit of late, it is because my 7 year old sister is in the hospital, so I apologize for the delay.

I recently wrote an article about winter activities for your toddler. It is full of practical ideas, a playdough recipe, and might even make you smile! Sit down and read it, and then turn the computer off and go play with your kids, you'll be glad you did and they might even be happier for it :)

Here's the latest article from the Pediatrics site at BellaOnline.com.
