Editors Noticeboard Dear Reader WOW! The first half of 2014 has flown by and now the second half of the year means it’s time to think about your tax return. It’s a great opportunity to do some hard thinking over your finances, including your family budget to help plan where your money is going.

With the school holidays in full-swing, we have some great activities to beat the holiday boredom and keep the whole family entertained.

Turn to pages 24–25 for your local Yarra Plenty Regional Library school holiday program and page 29 for our what’s on in Banyule & Nillumbik page. Also some of our advertisers offer fantastic school holiday programs, including Little Tacker Tennis (p 5) and Claydreamers (p 13).

Or maybe head down to Wriggle It Indoor Play Centre (p 9) and let the kids run off some energy or feed the ducks and discover what’s on offer at Rivers of Yarrambat (p 10).

Get cosy and enjoy reading this wintery issue – How to get your beach-body ready for summer in Avoid the Winter Exercise Blues this Year! (p 6). Winter in the Garden (p 8) has some great winter gardening ideas. What is Tonsurephobia? Does your child suffer from this phobia? To learn more and to help your child overcome this fear, turn to page 22.

Please remember to support our wonderful advertisers and shop locally, who make it possible for this magazine to be free for families in our local community.

We hope you enjoy this issue. Until next time...
