Things you may not need... 1. Alphabet / Number Playmat This sounds a good idea at first.  It does protect baby from bumping the hardwood floor.  The reason I don't like about it is that it is difficult to clean.  Anything can fell easily between the gaps. I would suggest you look into playmat that is one single piece. 2. Baby Rucksack What's the reason you need this again?  To look good? 3. Changing Bag You could find bags cheaply.  Go ahead.  There is no need to get expensive bag.  The bag does not last long anyway.  Use a normal shoulder bag that is lighter and cheaper.  If you need insulated pockets for baby food, you can always buy a separate bottle or food carrier. 4. Playpen I almost bought one.  I researched it online / offline and found out playpen is expensive.  A few pieces of plastic cost $100+.  Why?  To get more money from parents.  Putting baby in a cage is not humane.  It does not last long before baby finds a way to overcome it, too.

You can help our native bees to thrive by building them a Bee Hotel. What are Solitary Bees ? As well as Bumblebees and Honeybees (that live socially) there are various species of wild bees in the world that are called 'solitary bees' because they make individual nest cells for their larvae. Some species nest in small tunnels or holes in the ground or in sandy banks, piles of sand, or crumbling mortar. Others use the hollow stems of dead plants such as brambles, or tunnels previously bored into dead wood by beetles. What is a Bee Hotel? A Bee Hotel is an artificial bee nest that attracts solitary native bees.  It is often difficult to encourage solitary bees in urban areas because there are so few suitable nesting places for them.  Many people chose to give nature a helping head by building their own bee hotels.

All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking ~ Friedrich Nietzsche The practice seems a little strange at first - the sole purpose of a labyrinth is to walk the one-way path - there is only one, unlike a maze - into the centre of the labyrinth. Once you get there, you turn around and walk back the way you came.  Labyrinths have been popular as a form of walking meditation for millennia. There is something about the walking that stills your mind. What seems a rather pointless exercise in terms of outward achievement is a space that helps to calm your chattering thoughts. This is more like exercise for your mind, rather than for your body, and though your mind might protest that it's dumb, it nevertheless helps to quieten those monkeys. There are quite a few public and private labyrinths  around Australia . Some around Melbourne include:

Canola Oil 4 Litre for $8 is a great deal. I would try out Firecracker Squid for $4.

1. Quickly turn off display Ever had a coworker peeking over your shoulders while you were at work? It can be quite annoying. I can’t offer to change human nature, but here’s a keyboard shortcut that will help. To quickly turn off your display and blank your Mac screen hit the following keyboard combination: Ctrl + Shift + eject The moment you hit this key combination your screen will go blank. To switch your display back on just move the mouse on hit some keys on your keyboard. 2. Zoom in and out of your display To zoom into your Mac’s display hold down the  Ctrl  key and scroll the mouse up and down. You can do this on the trackpad by using two fingers and sliding them up and down. I find this useful at times when I want to look at something in greater detail, and especially when I want to make an online video appear in full screen. 3. Quick reboot
