Banyule & Nillumbik Hello and Welcome to February 2015 Christmas is long gone, kids are now back at school......is that a loud sigh of relief I hear? They will soon be back home as Easter is only a blink away ‐ Easter eggs are already in the shops I am not sure who buys them at this time of the year but I certainly don’t!

You will have noticed on the front cover that the Banyule & Nillumbik magazine franchise is for sale, we are looking for a team player with a positive ‘can do’ attitude and an aptitude for learning, with loads of ambition.

A Your Child Magazine franchise is unique yet a simple to run business, it is fun, rewarding and creative, profitable and affordable. What more could you want!

If you would like more information see our ad on page 31 for contact details and make 2015 your best year ever.

We have a bumper month of reading for you: Starting School page 4, Boost your Kids Happiness on page 6, When should I have another Child? page 8 and A New Baby on page 10 plus much more ‐ Enjoy!

Check out your local Library News on page 24 and What’s On ‐ page 26 with Immunization information.

Enjoy the rest of your Summer.
