This month sees the 10th anniversary of Family Learning Week, which is being celebrated by having a Family Learning Festival! Last year more than 3,500 organisations nationwide took part in what was then National Family Learning Week. To mark ten years of Learning celebrations, this year will offer a month long range of activities. It’s a chance for you and your family to discover new interests, hobbies, skills and have lots of fun. Different events are happening across the country, and you can find out what is on in your area on the Campaign For Learning website.

In order to raise awareness and teach parents about the advantages of babywearing, I am pleased to announce that I have been asked to run a workshop and demonstration session at Carlisle Library, on Monday 20th October. The event is free, and there will be a few different types of baby carriers to try out and see which you, and your baby, prefer, so it will be a great way of finding out if babywearing is for you. I look forward to seeing you there!

Well, summer is here – even if no-one has told the weather! Not only that, but Glastonbury kicks off this weekend – which means that festival season is officially here. No-one wants to cart their pushchair round a muddy Somerset field, so what easier way is there of transporting your baby or toddler between acts or workshops, than using a fantastically stylish SnugBaby mei tai style baby carrier?

SnugBaby are celebrating festival season by offering 10% discount on all baby carriers to UK festival goers. So, whether you are going to Solfest, T, Reading or any other festival this summer, make sure you order your baby carrier using the code FEST08 to claim your discount*. Remember, there is also FREE UK DELIVERY on all carriers.

^{* Code valid for all orders for slings placed before 31st July 2008.}
