Hello there,

The weather's warming up and days are getting longer, especially for those of you enjoying Daylight Savings that kicked in recently. Unsure of what time it is where across the nation? Link through to this page on the Australian Government site.

An interesting library of articles this month...

• Febrile Convulsions - what are they and how to cope when they do occur
  
• Get Physical - It's Good For You! (Go on, you know you want to read it!)
• Backyard Trampolines Will Have You Bouncing for Joy
• A To Z of Sleep Guide - great hints and ideas

The latest initiative from supermarket giant, Coles, gets the thumbs up from Bub Hub. Working in conjunction with Landcare, the Coles Plastic Bag Challenge 2009 aims to reduce the amount of plastic bags in circulation. Schools, businesses and individuals can register online to make a difference AND for a chance to win prizes. Hurry... it closes October 23, 2009.
