Christmas is coming! Many kids are excited and talking about the jolly old elf and can't wait to tell him what they want in their stockings this year. Especially when they see his little kingdom shining in the mall. Although it is a beacon of wonder for the kids, the reality of waiting in a long lineup can be tough on the kids...and parents too!

The Public Health Agency of Canada has changed its recommendations for the amount of swine flu vaccine that children need:
The agency is recommending that kids over the age of 6 months and less than 3 years get two half-doses of the 2009 H1N1 vaccine, with at least 21 days between the two shots.
But it is now saying that healthy kids ages three to nine need only one half-dose of the vaccine, which means only the one shot.
Kids who have chronic medical conditions should get two half-doses of the vaccine. There should be at least a 21-day gap between the two shots.
The information has been updated in Swine Flu Vaccine in Canada.

The sun is mellowing out and leaves are already starting to fall from some of the trees...September is just a hop, skip and a jump away and so is the time to head back to school. Families are trying to squeeze out the last bit of summer fun as the end of August nears. It's also a busy time with running around and getting school supplies and clothes ready for the new school year. Taking stock of what is left over from last year and what has to be bought new for this one. It's always shocking to me how much my kids grow over a summer. They seem to sprout inches over the summer, like mini Incredible Hulks trying to fit into last fall's outfits. There is anxiety and excitment about what this school year will bring for kids and parents, but bring it on! Ready or not, here we come school!
Here are some tips on eco-friendly clothes shopping, going green with school supplies, green ideas for school lunches and adding some fun and love to lunches for you and your kids!
