Dolly Parton launched a fantastic initiative which promotes reading for children called the Imagination Library. The initiative would provide for a brand new, age appropriate book each month to every child under 5 and mail it directly to their home.

The Imagination Library is available in select Canadian locations. The newest location is the Yukon, and other Canadian locations include Edmonton (AB), Kelowna (BC), Merritt (BC), Dauphin (MB), St. John (NB), Acadia (NS), Deer Lake (ON), and many more.

To find out if there is an Imagination Library initiative where you live, check with the Imagination Library website here.

Read more about the Imagination Library and starting the program in your area. I'm hoping an organization will start this initiative in Vancouver!

It's never too early to start exposing your baby to the alphabet and reading! Studies have shown that the earlier you begin reading to your child and exposing him or her to more vocabulary, the faster the child will learn when he or she eventually starts schooling.

I particularly like the ABCs interactive section, it is perfect for playing along with baby or toddlers! There is also a hand signing section!

The site also has lots of fun stuff like building a gingerbread man. There is also a downloads section with lots more great learning printouts.

Primarily designed for first grade, Starfall is also useful for pre-kindergarten, kindergarten and second grade, and perfect for homeschooling.

This site is recognized and highly rated by The Reading Teacher named Starfall.com one of "Five Internet sites too good to miss" (May 2006). In 2005 and again in 2008, Homeschool.com recognized Starfall as one of their top five educational websites.

List of Free Yoga Videos and Podcasts

I was as stiff as a board after baby. I was recovering from a C-section, so my abdominals were severely weakened. I had tendinitis in one wrist and arm, and also plantar fasciitis, which rendered me incapable of doing any high impact-related exercises. I felt physically totally broken.

I started doing yoga once or twice a week at home. It helped me immensely in regaining strength and flexibility. If you were thinking of giving yoga a try, here's how I started out, and I also have a list of free yoga videos and podcasts below. The great thing about exercising at home is you can do it anytime and pause and come back to it if necessary. If you skip a week, or even two, don't feel guilty, just pop that DVD back in and get to it!

I started with Crunch: Yoga Mama: Prenatal Yoga (which I had also used prenatally - it was reassuring to know that what I was doing was safe for baby). This video was a nice, gentle introduction for my body to gain back some flexibility.

My next video was Bryan Kest's Power Yoga, which was MUCH more difficult (Bryan Kest and his group does some incredible super-human-looking poses). I was able to keep pace using the lower level poses. I noticed some major improvements with flexibility after using this video only two or three times. Beginners may find this video difficult to follow.

Then I found Eoin Finn Yoga, which I picked up on sale for $9.99 at London Drugs, and it's become my staple yoga DVD - it's just the right pace and difficulty for now.

With all exercise videos, it's best to watch the entire video once before trying to do the exercises, so that you will know what to expect. You should practice any exercises or yoga poses that are new to you before beginning the exercise video.

Here is a list of sites where you can get some free yoga videos podcasts:

• Eoin Finn's website offers free podcasts for download. There are also 21 videos of yoga poses - these videos explain in detail about each pose, they are excellent for beginners! Check them out here.

• PrenatalYogaCenter.com has three pre/postnatal videos to help expectant or new moms target problem areas such as back pain and hip flexibility.

• Sportskool.com has 16 short yoga pose videos, including one Spanish prenatal (but there is no English one for some reason).
  
  
• YogaJournal.com has 118 yoga poses, with detailed information on the anatomical focus of the pose, benefits, therapeutic applications, how-to instructions, and more.
  

• Also on YogaJournal.com, 12 free episodes of The Yoga Practice Show, plus another 12 episodes from their archives (scroll to the bottom of their page).
  

• If you prefer the motivation of exercising with others, FREE YOGA CLASSES are held at Lululemon locations across Canada. The classes are usually held on Sunday. Check the locations near you for exact day and times.
  

Namaste!

Ladies, have you heard about reuseable menstrual pads? If you are wanting to go green, or if you have allergies to commercial brands, this is something to try. I haven't yet tried reuseables, but I am going to start with one of these deals.

Reuseable pads on Etsy

On Etsy, there are lots of hand-made reuseable pads for sale. They are made of colourful prints, so much more fun than a plain old disposable! Prices vary; I saw a listing as low as 2 for US $7 + shipping. The shipping is usually priced reasonably, even shipping from the US (average around $4). Click here to view all the reuseable pads on Etsy.

One Canadian seller on Etsy is Matersum (www.matersum.etsy.com) from Montreal, whom I met on Twittermoms. I asked about cleaning the pads, here's what owner Jenn had to say:

Cloth pads are easy to care for. There are a few methods, but I think the easiest, by far, is after use you simply rinse them out and store until laundry day. To launder them, throw them in the wash with any load you're already doing. That's it! Or, if you're cloth diapering, you can throw your pads in with them.

That's a general guideline, but that routine can vary a little if you buy special pads (pads topped with silk, or pads backed with wool, for example, which need a gentler cleaning).

Matersum has a free shipping deal for Canadians right now, so now's a good time to try out a reusable pad! Visit her blog here, too.


Reusable Pads from Lunapad.com

Vancouver-based Lunapads offers a wide selection of reuseable pads, also in a variety of wonderful colours and patterns. They have pads, liners, pantyliners, mini-liners, liners with or without wings, post-partum liners, organic pads, multi-packs and more!

To celebrate International Women's Day, they are having a 20% off sale until March 9, 3pm! You can view prices in either Canadian or US dollars. Shipping costs vary.

The sale is online at www.lunapads.com.

I'd love to hear about your experience with reuseable pads! Leave me a comment below!

A wonderful baby keepsake is a print or a molding of baby's hands or feet. If you've ever tried one of those do-it-at-home kits, you've probably found it challenging (well, I did anyway!).

Through Twitter I met someone from Wee Piggies and Paws. This franchise, run by "Mom-preneurs", creates castings of babies and can have the cast framed, bronzed, ornamented, or made into a statue!

They are having a special right now: get a free ornament ($25 value) with shadow box purchase)!

There are locations across Canada, see Wee Piggies and Paws for more information.
In Greater Vancouver, you can email vancouvereast@weepiggies.com or call (778) 995-5437.
