Seasons Greetings,

Firstly, our very best wishes for a wonderful and joyful festive season to you and your families. Christmas is one of our favourite times of the year. We get to catch up with friends, watch the kids get more of a kick out of the wrapping than the gifts, and generally just relax and unwind.

With much of our holiday time spent in and around pools and beaches, the Bub Hub is strongly supporting the new FREE Living With Water DVD put together by Laurie Lawrence, and we urge ALL parents and carers of under 5s to view this info by Australia Day 2010.

Our December articles are ideal to read over the holidays, when you have a moment to yourself and need some down time...

• Why Children are a Trigger for Life Insurance
  
• Pregnant? How to Exercise Safely Through each Trimester
• Do You Really Know What Your Child's Drink Bottle or Food Container is Made From?
• Tips to Avoid Injury When Carrying Your Children

Looking for ideas on what to do indoors to escape the heat these holidays? You really can't go past the wonderful Disney range of festive DVDs. Some very lucky Bub Hubbers were recently appointed Official Disney Christmas DVD Reviewers. To read more on how they scored, click here. (Margaret & David, move over!!)
