Welcome to our jam-packed February edition!
Sigh...! Children heading away from the nest are settled and your daily routine is... well, your daily routine. Don't let it be all about the house. Ensure you find some time for yourself (even if you still have some little chicks by your side) - perhaps join an exercise group, enjoy a hair or body treatment or head to the movies.
The articles in this edition are a great read, no matter what your stage of parenting. At the base of each article you will discover a series of links to related Bub Hub pages, perfect to use when you're keen to find out more.
Wonderful prizes could be yours this month.
You can enter them all or just pick your favourites.
In our Review Section, Sarah H is keen to find out exactly what parents who own a Bebe Care Baby Ace Stroller think of it. If you have (or had) one and can help her, please add your review, good or bad, so that she can decide what to buy. While you're there, why not add reviews for other parenting products you've used.
Quick and Easy Barbecue Recipe
Barbecued Butterflied Lamb Leg with Herb Mayonnaise
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Serves: 6
1.5 kg leg of lamb, boned and butterflied (your butcher can do this)
1 tbsp fresh rosemary leaves, roughly chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
a selection of raw and blanched seasonal vegetables
For the herb mayonnaise:
1/2 cup whole egg style mayonnaise
fresh chives, dill, parsley or coriander, chopped
lemon juice
1. Preheat the barbecue flat-plate or char-grill plate to hot. Score the inside of the butterflied lamb leg in a criss-cross fashion. Combine rosemary, oil and mustard and smear over both sides of the lamb.
2. Place the lamb on the barbecue, reduce heat to moderately-hot. Cook the first side of the lamb for 20 minutes, turn and cook for a further 20 minutes.
3. Remove lamb, cover loosely with foil and allow it to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with vegetables and the herb mayonnaise.
To make the mayonnaise: Combine mayonnaise with the freshly chopped herbs and a squeeze of lemon (to your liking).
Thanks to our friends at Meat & Livestock Australia for this little gem.

One last thing, don't forget Valentine's Day on February 14. There's still plenty of time to book a babysitter. If you're expecting, why not hire a romantic outfit to wear out to dinner, and, if you'd prefer to go out for dinner as one big happily family, at least dine in a family-friendly establishment. Bon appetit!
