 We know Yummy Mummies are generous but we were overwhelmed by the response to last month's Forward to A Friend. For every person who forwarded our newsletter to a friend, the Yummy Mummy Club donated $5 to the SickKids Foundation. Yummy Mummies everywhere jumped on the fowarding bandwagon and we are now donating $600 in support of SickKids
You spread the word, SickKids reaped the reward....it doesn't get any yummier than that!

Wine To Make You Hot by Zoltan Szabo
|
|
|
You lift the glass of wine to your lips, take a sip and a pleasantly warm, sweet sensation glides over your palate. Within seconds blood rushes to the surface of your skin, kickstarting your circulation creating a warming effect. The science says alcohol actually causes the body to lose heat. But who cares? By then you're indoors, warm and cozy sitting by the fire, savouring hearty, winter food.
Here are some tips to help you choose the right wine when the thermometer dips...

Lowering The Bar By Kathy Buckworth
|
|
|
We live in a world of "what have you done for me lately", and nowhere is this more magnified than with our kids. Minutes after I've arrived home from the indoor playground, complete with a stop at the fast food place of their choice, buying them a small treat from the dollar store because they didn't fight with their sister for six whole minutes, they're screaming at me "I never get anything! You're the meanest Mom! Why can't I have the last scoop of the Ben & Jerry's?"
Because Mommy needs the Ben & Jerry's, that's why. Because I've just spent the afternoon at the indoor playground, the McDonalds and the Anything-For-A-Buck-As-Long-As-It's-Crap-And-10-Minutes-Later-We-Will-Be-Throwing-It-Out-While-You-Cry-That-It's-Not-Really-Broken-Store, that's why.

Belly Bandit
 Most first time pregnant women have no clue what they are up against. I kinda assumed once I delivered my baby my belly would shrink back to being almost flat like it was before. After all I ate pretty darn healthy and worked out my whole life...supermodels bounce right back...why wouldn't I?
Only my back fat and spire tire had a different plan. Six months later, it was still hanging out. There has to be a quicker way I thought..... Click to read... |

I am often asked about alcohol and its place in a healthy diet. Sometimes the question is whispered with embarrassment, sometimes shouted with pride but always with confusion about if, when, what and how much to drink.
Putting a funky new spin on family entertainment, Diaper Disco hosts the hippest daytime family dance party for the under 12 crowd and their ultra cool parents.
