New booklists and articles coming in 2012...stay tuned!

I started this blog quite a number of years ago as a blend of my dual passion for my role as Family Network Librarian at the Burnside Library and my role as Mummy to baby Lachlan!

Well, now Lachlan is 5 years old, off to school in 2012 and he has a baby sister Sophie who is now 2! (Not exactly a baby anymore either, but she is my baby!)

So much has happened since starting this blog, and it never really got off the ground in the way that I had originally hoped that I want to revamp it so that it can promote what your Burnside Library Family Information Zone has for you to help you on your parenting journey - whether it's baby sleep, toilet trainining, activities to do with your little ones or anything else under the sun that encompasses parenting and children I hope bit by bit you can find some help, laughs, and great reads here.

From time to time I might even "mix it up" and include some "non-parenting" reads here too, as many of us like to read for leisure too, however brief our leisure time might be for little ones. As an example the two books I read most recently were "Meltdown" by Ben Elton and "The Marriage Club" by Kate Legge.

Stay tuned...from February my plan is to post at least once a fortnight so two new booklists or articles per week. I also plan to update previous booklists so content about all parenting topics on this blog should remain fairly current.

If at anytime you are looking for books, DVDs or magazines to help you on your parenting please phone the Burnside Library to enquire about resources in the Family Information Zone that may assist you...
