What Do I Feed My Baby; a step-by-step guide to introducing solids
So you know what to start with, but, how much, when and what’s next?  The essential step-by-step guide on how to start solids and progress to meals. Created by mum and nutrition advisor to Huggies Baby Club and numerous parenting magazines, Leanne Cooper.  All your questions answered in one book.  See www.sneakys.com.au for stockists including Huggies Book Club, Bubs Stores and Metro Mum.

What do mums and dad’s think of Leanne’s book?
Dear Leanne
About a month ago I purchased your book “What will I feed the Baby?”. Your book has been one of the most valuable resources I have purchased. As a new mum I was searching for a comprehensive guide for introducing solids to my beautiful six month old son, Samuel. Lata Vadlamudi

Hi Leanne,
I bought your book “What Do I Feed My Baby” a couple of months back and just wanted to write to you and say how fabulous it is.  It’s exactly all the information I need in one place, and I don’t have to turn the computer on to check something out!!  I also found all the other information like the tips (microwaving your dish cloth), facts and food safety and handling very useful. I’m so glad I happened across your website – thanks very much.
Kind regards, Carmen van den Berg.

We are all part of a mothers group in Canterbury/ Surrey Hills area in Melbourne… My Maternal Health nurse has not been very specific about the information she has been passing on – in my opinion.  It’s all very well to be telling us “WHAT” to feed our babies, but they neglect to specify HOW MUCH AND HOW OFTEN.  I think your book is FANTASTIC in this regard. Thank you so much for the great book!   Cherine Gibson.

WE HAVE ONE SIGNED COPY OF LEANNE’S BEAUTIFUL BOOK TO GIVE AWAY!

TO BE IN THE RUNNING TO WIN THIS AMAZING BOOK VISIT LEANNE’S WEBSITE CADENCE HEALTH www.cadencehealth.com.au AND JUST TELL US THE TITLE AND AUTHOR OF THE OTHER BOOK  (available in ebook format)  MENTIONED ON LEANNE’S SITE… WE’LL GIVE YOU A HINT (IT’S A MALE AUTHOR).

If you know any teenagers who are into computer games, then this is the book to get them reading.
 
Tark and Zyra are teenage thieves in a world of magic and science, where dragons and mages exist alongside drones and lasers. In their quest to reach Designers Paradise, they realise their world is not what it appears to be, and their sanctuary is about to face destruction…

Computer game environments collide in this thrilling science fiction adventure novel. Suitable for readers 11+

“Fast and fun, a thrilling ride with enough blood, slime and toad-flinging to satisfy RL Stine.”

Claire Saxby, author of There Was an Old Sailor

“George really did capture the sensation of being inside a video game.”
William Kostakis, author of Loathing Lola

“Gamers’ Quest has all the makings of a cult classic.”

NATURALLY BETTER KIDS… Seminars for Parents of ‘Special Needs’ Children Friday, Mar 19 2010

MICHELLE HAYWARD

of Absolutely Whyaard Publishing

 IS EXCITED TO GET BEHIND THIS PROJECT

AND TO HELP PROMOTE IT

 

 

Parenting seminars at

 

http://naturallybetterkids.com/?page_id=123   

 

CAULFIELD TOWN HALL

26th March 2010 & 27th March 2010

 

 For the first time in 30 years, The Institutes For The Achievement Of Human Potential® are coming to Australia to present seminars about what can be done to help children – including those with brain related “special needs.”   

 

Do you know a child with ‘special needs’?  WHAT TO DO ABOUT YOUR ‘SPECIAL NEEDS’ CHILD SEMINAR – 2010

 

Douglas Doman is the Vice President of The Institutes® and is the author of several books on the subject of child development. This seminar will be of benefit to children with brain-related (neurological) challenges such as Aspergers Syndrome, ADHD & Down Syndrome.  

 

One Sydney mother ran this program with her Autistic son, Shai, from age 5-8.  

 

“Doing this program enabled Shai to talk and walk properly….

I recommend you have a look and tell your clients and friends.”

- Arahni Sont, Board Director at Holdsworth Community Centre and ASPIRE – Autism

 

Spectrum Parents Information and Resources  Babies can learn to read!

 HOW TO MULTIPLY YOUR BABY’S INTELLIGENCE SEMINAR – 2010

 

Did you know that even a tiny baby can learn to read? Or do maths?

Or that any parent has the potential to help multiply their baby’s intelligence?  

Here’s what one Melbourne father has to say about this program:  

“…teaching my 3 kids to read (after reading Glenn Doman’s book)

has had a great impact on their lives.

As I mentioned to you –

academic scholarships to the private school of our choice (all 3),

2 school captains, 2 university scholarships,

a citizenship scholarship etc.  

In financial terms

it’s hundreds of thousands of dollars,

but you really can’t put a price on it.”

- Jamie Kennedy, Williamstown.

 

 Each seminar runs for 3 hours and is a single session only.

There are 4 individual seminars over 2 days.

 Ticket price includes a free ebook called ‘Naturally Better’,

a 160page A4 book about an Australian child,

born with Down syndrome,

who benefitted greatly from these programs.

This story was recently featured in

the Caulfield Leader.  more information –

Get your book promoted… or start writing for our blogs! Saturday, Mar 6 2010

Hi and thanks for visiting us at Absolutely Whyaard!

Here’s what we’re all about -

We are looking for regular feature writers, authors – published or self-publishing, aspiring authors and writers, educators, and experts in their field.  We want to promote you, give you more exposure and we’re happy to do so in several capacities.  Please read on to find out more.

What I would like you to do now is choose the blog you would most like to write for (and you can write for more than one of course!) or one where you would like your book promo to appear. The purpose of this exercise is for exposure and lots of it, as writers to collaborate and formulate! Let’s work together to promote what we do!

Do you write feature articles?

Do you have a magazine?

Have you written a book you need promotion for?

Have you got craft related hobbies or interests, wine industry connections, or do you enjoy getting on the end of a hot debate?

Do you want to write business-related articles, or do a product or book review?

Do you need promotion for your blog?

Do you have education or IT experience that could benefit others.

Regardless of what your area of expertise is, we’d like to hear from you! I started this to make a difference. This is about being reciprocal and helping each other! As a writer I am looking for more exposure for my books and my blogs. I have written one novel ‘FALLING’ (about to be self-published) and I am currently working on the sequel, ‘Torn’!  I am also working on a bereavement/memory book for parents who have lost children.  I am also a feature writer for a few different online publications which I thoroughly enjoy as well as operating my own blogs and forum.  See more of what I do here http://michellehayward.blogspot.com

At this time, there is no financial remuneration for participating on the blogs or for being featured, but we are happy to include your logo and links and to promote you via this vehicle. Please forward us a copy of your book if you would like a review conducted.

I would love it if you would work with me. Here are the blog addresses to choose from:

http://thehouseofvintner.blogspot.com

http://creationcottage.blogspot.com

http://joblessandmultitalented.blogspot.com

http://wikkid-wikkid.blogspot.com

We only require your articles as often as you wish to place them! But once a month is always good if you can manage it. There are no exact deadlines or dates, just send the promo and a few small pictures – approx 90 kb in size ONLY! Please do not send pictures that are ONE MEG or more! Approx size should be around 497 x 480.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Absolutely Whyaard Welcomes YOU! Wednesday, Mar 3 2010

WELCOME TO ABSOLUTELY WHYAARD

My name is Michelle Hayward and I am the author of ‘FALLING’ (coming soon).  You can see details about the book here http://michellehayward.blogspot.com .  I am currently working on the sequel ‘Torn’.  I am self-publishing, despite interest from a reputable publishing house.  

My Publishing label is called ABSOLUTELY WHYAARD (which is just Absolutely Hayward wtih the letters switched around) and has also formed the basis for this blog!  ‘FALLING’ will be available under this banner at http://www.cafepress.com/HouseofVintner.  You can also see more of what we do here http://www.cafepress.com/grafityart  (for the Graffiti enthusiast!)

Noticing a niche for writer’s who want to meet others and collaberate on and share their craft,  advertise what they do, self-publish, get more publicity for books they have already published or just to connect with other writers or bloggers to enhance opportunity, is the reason I have started this blog. 

If you require a book review conducted of your book, please send us a copy and we can provide one for you!

If you are looking for someone to design a beautiful cover for your book, we also provide this service!

We welcome Feature Articles from fellow writers, information about your book/s, and we have other blogs you may be interested in contributing to:

http://thehouseofvintner.blogspot.com - wine blog
