&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;There wouldnt be the pressure from your partner to make sure the house is spick and span for when they get home no matter what kind of day you have had.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;There wouldnt be fights about money because it would all be yours to spend on what you want.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;You wouldnt feel so crap when you cant meet&amp;nbsp;their ideals of what should or shouldnt be done ie. getting bubs looked after so you can just have a day; we did originally agree to this but now in the situation, I need a day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I have been reading further into her blog lately and found out some things about her life which is defiantly worth the read. Her&amp;nbsp;motto is that she is an open book and after reading her blog posts I can agree, she defiantly is!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Although Alissa is 'younger'&amp;nbsp;she has been through a lot but&amp;nbsp;seems to be able&amp;nbsp;to put on a brave face. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Should I be stopping her saying that's not very nice or will she&amp;nbsp;just grow out of it? There isn't a lot of info on what I should do, but I might not be looking in the right places.

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Amy&amp;nbsp;is a single mum&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;5&amp;nbsp;children. Wow I don't know how she does it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Amy started blogging just before a few major events happened in her life which include getting divorced and her ex-husband passing away. Amy has found blogging to be therapeutic, a place to vent and a place to brag, essentially a place for her own where nothing else matters.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I met this 'non-stop mom' through a chat on Twitter hosted by @TribLocal about...you guessed it, blogging. I immediately felt a connection to her and her experiences and wanted to read more about her life and how she has dealt with so many ups and downs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Amy's most popular blog post, called &lt;a href="http://non-stopmom.blogspot.com/2011/02/he-didnt-make-it.html"&gt;'he didn't make it'&lt;/a&gt;, is about the day her ex-husband died and the emotional rollercoster she was on; past, present and future.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Melissa is a mum&amp;nbsp;to a beautiful girl Lucy and wanted to&amp;nbsp;create a source of information, whilst still opinion based, that provides an overview of the products she had used, facilities found useful, family friendly restaurants or entertainment spots and links to services. All in one place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Melissa also has created an outlet for her&amp;nbsp;to write about&amp;nbsp;her experiences as a new parent. She states she is definitely not an expert, but wants to share&amp;nbsp;her thoughts in the hope that&amp;nbsp;her posts would be useful for any expectant or new parents reading.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The day I went into labour was an ordinary day, E wasnt due for another 6 days so I wasn't overly expecting her since first babies usually come late, however&amp;nbsp;she had been engaged since about 32 weeks so I had a feeling she would come early. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;N and I had planned to catch up with some friends for dinner so I had a bath and put on some nice clean clothes (trackies and a jumper) and went to sit on&amp;nbsp;our couch to wait for N to get ready. Decided I felt as though I had to go to the toilet, as I got up I was sure I was peeing myself (not a nice feeling at all!), got to the toilet and it was everywhere. I called for N, "I think my waters just broke" seeing the mess in my pants he was sure too. N looked down the hall and laughed, there was a drip trail down the hallway. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I cleaned myself up while N cleaned the hallway. I called the hospital to let them know my waters had broken and that I had a feeling there was a little bit of meconium aswell. They asked us to come in just to make sure everything was ok and that my waters had actually broken. It was about 6.30pm. I called my besty C to let her know what had happened as N and I had asked her to be there at the birth, we told her to stay putt as contractions had not yet begun.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;N and I took our time to ge there, I wasn't having contractions and didnt feel there was a need to rush. We jumped in the car and was on our way. Silly us only thought there was the one gush and didnt put a towel on the seat. About half way there, I had another gush, my maternity pad didnt save much. We finally got to the hospital, N dropped me at the door, as I got out I asked him if he could tell really badly. There was a pause......"yeah, its pretty bad". I wrapped a jumper around my waist and headed to the birthing suite. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;We were booked into the Family Birth Center which is similar to a home birth but in a hospital, generally for low risk pregnancies. By the time&amp;nbsp;we got up to the Family Birth Centre&amp;nbsp;the 'water'&amp;nbsp;was in my shoes, I looked at the clock and it was 7.30pm.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Thinking back now I might have had a contraction in the car. Waiting for the nurse, I was pretty sure I had a contraction, 5 minutes later another. Just felt like slightly painful twitch. The nurse finally came back 15 minutes later and popped me on the bed to see how everything was going. I decided to call C back since my contractions had started to become more apparent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;By the time C got there (maybe half an hour later) she started timing my contractions and they were about 3/2 mins apart. A new midwife had started and decided to transfer me to the general birthing suite because of the maconium in my waters, I remember walking across the hall in so much pain, I felt as though I was being ripped in half. I remember climbing onto the bed in so much pain, by this stage I think it was around about 11pm. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I was screaming and remember laying on my side pulling C into my belly for pressure (which seemed to help) while she, N and the nurse massaged my lower back, I couldnt hack it and tried the gas. I was in so much pain I couldnt suck on the hose properly and at about 1.30am, N was taken out of the room because they could tell he was distressed and asked him if he wanted to ask me about the epidural. The nurse said to me it would take about an hour for the epidural anethiest to get to the hospital (considering the time of night). I agreed to get her in and&amp;nbsp;she arrived just after 2.30am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;It was like heaven as soon as there was no more pain. I had gone from a psyco devil with my head spinning on my neck, to a normal human being happily laying on the bed joking and laughing with N and C.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;It go to about 6am and they&amp;nbsp;decided to get me to start pushing, within 2 pushes my heart rate become too high and the nurses told me to take a break and relax to try and get it back down. From memory it was about 120bpm as a resting heart rate and up to 180bpm during a contraction. By about 7.30 my heart rate was still the same and the doctors decided bubs had to come out and fast. I rolled over to start pushing again while the doctor tried the vacuum however it wouldnt suction to her head properly and therefore tried the forceps. The doctor couldnt fit the forceps and E's head and had to make a small cut (ended up being a 2nd degree tear). At this point the delivering doctor told me if this didnt work I would have to go in for a cesarian. Going this far I was determined to push as hard as I could to make sure that didnt happen. During a break I looked over at N and he was as white as a ghost, I&amp;nbsp;asked if he was ok, he had been holding his breath while I was pushing. It felt like only 5 contractions later with intence pushing and&amp;nbsp;E had arrived, 7.49am.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I lost a normal amount of blood however my iron was so low that I fainted. N and the nurse were dressing E at the end of the bed and I thought I was just dosing off since I had not slept. Next thing I knew someone had put an oxygen mask over my face as people ran into my room, in the background the alarm was ringing and N was sitting in the corner horrified, holding E for the first time thinking I was dead. I ended up with two blood transfusions and another cathita (I was sore for weeks because of this and the stichers).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Butter an 8 x 8 baking pan and line with parchment paper, making sure that the parchment is well pressed in the corners.&amp;nbsp; Set aside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;In a food processor, pulse chocolate graham crackers until they become crumbs (like bread crumbs).&amp;nbsp; Add in melted butter and pulse until moistened.&amp;nbsp; Press graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.&amp;nbsp; Bake crust in the center of the oven until set, about 12 minutes.&amp;nbsp; Set aside and cool.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Clean out the food processor.&amp;nbsp; Add cream cheese, eggs, sugar, ¼ C. heavy cream, and vanilla extract.&amp;nbsp; Pulse until smooth.&amp;nbsp; Put 2/3 of the cream cheese mixture in a bowl and set aside.&amp;nbsp; Add Nutella and 1 Tbsp. of heavy cream to remaining 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture in the processor.&amp;nbsp; Pulse until smooth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;To assemble, spread the vanilla cheesecake mixture over the cooled graham cracker base, being careful not to disturb the crust.&amp;nbsp; Pour Nutella cheesecake layer on top of vanilla layer and spread evenly.&amp;nbsp; Bake on the center rack of the oven for about 35 minutes, or until the center jiggles slightly.&amp;nbsp; Remove from the oven and cool completely on a cooling rack.&amp;nbsp; Refrigerate for at least 3 hours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;When ready to serve, lift bars out of the pan by lifting up the parchment paper (it should release easily).&amp;nbsp; Slice into 16 squares and serve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I'm not saying they are bad mum's at all but I guess it makes me feel like I'm not good enough as a person as I'm nothing more then 'just' as mum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Why is it that a mum can't just be a mum...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Once you have a child you can or will be referred to as a mum or dad forever and this is has no effect on your participation in the childs life. A mum can palm off their child at every opportunity and still call themselves a mum, although not a good one in my books. I guess it is similar to someone who has a high profile job, but just because they have it, doesnt mean they are good at it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Even I felt, for my twitter bio, that I couldn't just write "I'm a mum", I had to write "I'm a blogger AND a young mum" is it not enough to just be a mum?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Maybe&amp;nbsp;I could say "full-time stay at home mum" but I'm still justifying that at the moment I'm 'just' a mum, by saying "full-time" I guess internaly makes me better then the mums who do just palm off their kids...why can't I just be a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;mum and feel like it's enough? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2754399247798025513-2057767928293937384?l=twitamum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/feeds/2057767928293937384/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/2011/04/just-mum.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2754399247798025513/posts/default/2057767928293937384?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2754399247798025513/posts/default/2057767928293937384?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/2011/04/just-mum.html' title='&apos;Just&apos; a mum!?!'/><author><name>Bec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10695383473937655005</uri><email>mumschaos@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04907826149405031427'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;D04HQ345cCp7ImA9WhZTFkU.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754399247798025513.post-4880965103890924040</id><published>2011-03-21T16:38:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-21T16:38:52.028+11:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-03-21T16:38:52.028+11:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pregnancy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Parenting Info'/><title>The Nursery</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Setting up your nursery can be a lot of fun for everyone. But I have come across a few things that might help with the set up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;If you want to paint the room keep in mind it is a place where your baby should be relaxed and able to sleep. Too much stimulation in their room and they won’t be able to. Keep the walls and curtains soft flat colours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;When choosing a change table, try and get one with a padded over, side rails, and shelves. Covering the change table with a towel is a great idea (especially in the first few months, guaranteed&amp;nbsp;bubs will 'go to the toilet' whenever you take their nappy off), towels are easy to wash and you generally already have quite a few of them. Stocking the change table is always fun as well but you might end up rearranging it once you have changed bubs a lot. Sections in the change table to hold all your lotions and potions are always handy. In terms of what lotions and potions to have it is really up to you but generally nappy rash cream (not baby powder, especially for girls, as it can get inside and just sits there and can create problems)&amp;nbsp;and your wipes are the main ones. You may also like a moisturiser and/or baby oils. Don’t forget to have a large section for nappies ie. the shelf and maybe keep a change of clothes handy just in case the ones they are wearing get soiled while changing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;A toy chest can defiantly be kept in the room but again, try and keep it simple, and closed when bubs is sleeping.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;A lot of&amp;nbsp;baby monitors these days come with night lights, video monitors&amp;nbsp;and exciting things but as long as it does the job for what you want it doesn’t matter on the brand. As long as your comfortable what difference does it make? We have a simple one with a night light and 2 handsets (one for our room and another to have anywhere else&amp;nbsp;which can be worked on batteries, handy if you go outside).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;Your baby will sleep a lot (hopefully) so make sure your get a cot which is safe with small gaps between the rails. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) can be very scary but reducing the risk is key. There are a few guidelines for safe sleeping you should try and follow. The below information is from the &lt;a href="http://www.sidsandkids.org/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;SIDS website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; so for more information check out the website.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;- From birth sleep your baby on its back&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;- Keep the cot clear; don’t have toys, bumpers, pillows or doonas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;- Avoid exposing the baby to tobacco smoke&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;- Keep the baby is a safe sleeping environment for the first 6-12 months next to your bed, either in the cot or a bassinet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;- Your baby should sleep with its feet close to the end of the cot (as pictured) this will avoid your baby wriggling under its blankets&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Verdana&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;;"&gt;There is a brochure you can download called &lt;a href="http://www.accc.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/655340"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Keeping Your Baby Safe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;which is designed to help make sure your child's nursery is a safe place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;½ cup rice flour &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;1 tsp baking powder &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;1 tbs white sugar &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;1 egg, separated &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;1 cup gluten-free soy milk &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;pinch of salt &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;1 tbs oil &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span class="Accessibility"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Method&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="Method Section"&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Sift the flours and baking powder into a bowl. Add the salt and sugar and make a well in the middle. Pour the egg yolk, milk and oil in and whisk well until just combined. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Whisk the egg white until peaks form and gently fold into the batter. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and spray with oil. Drop tablespoons of the batter onto the pan. Cook the pancakes until bubbles appear on the top side and then flip it over. Cook for another minute or so until golden. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Serve immediately with your choice of topping&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Of course I'm sure you can subtitute ingredients ie. the gluten free soy milk to full cream or lite milk.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2754399247798025513-4906299488054549785?l=twitamum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/feeds/4906299488054549785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/2011/03/gluten-free-pancakes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2754399247798025513/posts/default/4906299488054549785?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2754399247798025513/posts/default/4906299488054549785?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/2011/03/gluten-free-pancakes.html' title='Gluten Free Pancakes'/><author><name>Bec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10695383473937655005</uri><email>mumschaos@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04907826149405031427'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wgsRn2BO1xA/TYGc-smf_oI/AAAAAAAAABA/LlVKzSZrhkM/s72-c/Gluten_free_pancakes_isp.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;DEYNQn08eSp7ImA9Wx9aFEg.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754399247798025513.post-1786519029315480662</id><published>2011-03-07T11:01:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2011-03-07T11:03:13.371+11:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-03-07T11:03:13.371+11:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Events'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Activities'/><title>Celebrate Mooroolbark Festival</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;This festival is an annual community event in March. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I know that might sound sad but I think it is the central hub for the community. The library generally holds information sessions and family events to get people involved in the community. Check out your library events calendar to find out more. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My local libraries hold events such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/online/webcal.php?event=view&amp;amp;event_id=7422&amp;amp;t=1298898000"&gt;Computer Help&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/online/webcal.php?event=view&amp;amp;event_id=7805&amp;amp;t=1298984400"&gt;Beginners Internet Training&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/online/webcal.php?event=view&amp;amp;event_id=7519&amp;amp;t=1299070800"&gt;Multicultural Interaction Group&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/online/webcal.php?event=view&amp;amp;event_id=7568&amp;amp;t=1299157200"&gt;Chinese Friendship Group&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/online/webcal.php?event=view&amp;amp;event_id=6711&amp;amp;t=1299157200"&gt;Auslan Toddler Storytime&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/online/webcal.php?event=view&amp;amp;event_id=7269&amp;amp;t=1298984400"&gt;Bright Star for Babies 4-6mths&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;This is just to name a few. Many of the events are free or really cheap! For more information on the &lt;a href="http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/main/custom.php?m=5"&gt;Eastern Regional Libraries&lt;/a&gt; events, go to the &lt;a href="http://www.erl.vic.gov.au/main/custom.php?m=5"&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;And dont forget the lilbrary is a great source for ideas to entertain the kids while learning. Of course there are books but you can also borrow magazines, DVD's and CD's for both parents and kids. You can also&amp;nbsp;borrow books/magazines/DVD's/CD's from other library branches just by placing holds on them and it gets brought to your local library.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;You may also find your library will have local magazines (Mine has&amp;nbsp;the Melbourne Child)&amp;nbsp;and papers as well as pamphlets - generally just inside the door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Dont forget about the library - its free!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2754399247798025513-5779255379383492932?l=twitamum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/feeds/5779255379383492932/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/2011/03/library.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2754399247798025513/posts/default/5779255379383492932?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2754399247798025513/posts/default/5779255379383492932?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/2011/03/library.html' title='The Library'/><author><name>Bec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10695383473937655005</uri><email>mumschaos@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04907826149405031427'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;Ak4NQ389fip7ImA9Wx9bFU8.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754399247798025513.post-486591178313724330</id><published>2011-02-21T12:33:00.001+11:00</published><updated>2011-02-24T17:29:52.166+11:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-02-24T17:29:52.166+11:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Events'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Parenting Info'/><title>Huggies Lounge</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MdwK_UvRalk/TWGa1ARaV2I/AAAAAAAAAA0/qBztBLlc-o8/s1600/lounge-tour-header.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="93" j6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MdwK_UvRalk/TWGa1ARaV2I/AAAAAAAAAA0/qBztBLlc-o8/s320/lounge-tour-header.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The Huggies Lounge is a place you can take a break from shopping and relax while the kids are entertained with story time along with lots of fun games and activities. While the kids are having fun, for you there are guest speakers talking about topics associated with child development, baby food, sleeping and more. There are giveaways and free gifts. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;If you register at the event you go into the running to win a &lt;a href="http://www.huggies.com.au/promotions/205-win-with-huggies-lounge"&gt;3 month supply of Huggies products&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;Each lounge session runs for approximately 40 minutes, there are generally 3 sessions per day&amp;nbsp;and below are the dates and places.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;img alt="Star bullet point" height="16" src="http://www.huggies.com.au/images/promotions/assets/lounge-promo/star.jpg" width="23" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Werribee Plaza &lt;span class="caps"&gt;VIC&lt;/span&gt;: March 23, 24, 25&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="Star bullet point" height="16" src="http://www.huggies.com.au/images/promotions/assets/lounge-promo/star.jpg" width="23" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Chadstone Shopping Centre &lt;span class="caps"&gt;VIC&lt;/span&gt;: April 4, 5, 6&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I went to an Eastland session. The kids had story time and could play with toys. While the guest speaker was in the kids got given colouring in books and crayons. The information I got out of the session was quite good but fairly general. Once the guest speaker was finished they stayed back to answer any questions or conserns you might have had.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;One peice of information&amp;nbsp;I learnt was:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;- You shouldn't let your baby fall asleep with a bottle as there is sugar in formular it is bad if it just sits in your babies mouth for their teeth even if they havnt come through yet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;I dont do that but I do know a few fellow mums who do, so I thought I would pass on that tip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;"&gt;A giveaway the Huggies Lounge also had was if you brought Huggies nappies and brought them a reciept you&amp;nbsp;recived a free kids single sheet set, I'm not sure if they are doing that everywhere but if you purchase nappies the week of when the Huggies Lounge near you take it in and see if they have anything free for you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

I started off using huggies and brought the boxes when on special (For newborns apparently they are the best).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(153,153,153) !important; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; line-height: 1.4em; margin: 10px 0px 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I have tried about 5 different brands and from what I have noticed, there isnt much difference between nappies they all pretty much do the same thing. I found Aldi nappies were small so if you do want to try them get the next weight size up. I think I used the 4-9kg nappies and they were too small around the legs for E who was only about 6kg at the time. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="border-collapse: collapse; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;My motivator is price. I work it out per nappy as there are different amounts in different packs. At the moment I buy the Woolworths unisex nappies. They work out to be around 27c (for 4-9kg) as apposed to 30-40c each for other brands and find the sizing great. Have a look around when buying nappies, try different ones and go with what works for you and what motivates you and your lifestyle. And don't forget to look out for the specials!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2754399247798025513-8939554450226832697?l=twitamum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/feeds/8939554450226832697/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/2011/02/disposable-nappies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2754399247798025513/posts/default/8939554450226832697?v=2'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2754399247798025513/posts/default/8939554450226832697?v=2'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://twitamum.blogspot.com/2011/02/disposable-nappies.html' title='Disposable Nappies'/><author><name>Bec</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10695383473937655005</uri><email>mumschaos@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name='OpenSocialUserId' value='04907826149405031427'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry gd:etag='W/&quot;CUUBQXc7fyp7ImA9Wx9bEEs.&quot;'><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754399247798025513.post-6059464960368710591</id><published>2011-02-19T08:07:00.000+11:00</published><updated>2011-02-19T08:07:30.907+11:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app='http://www.w3.org/2007/app'>2011-02-19T08:07:30.907+11:00</app:edited><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Events'/><title>Warburton Fun Run Feb 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;Sunday 27th of Feburary Warburton are holding a Fun Run at the Recreational Reserve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
