| BUY AND SELL www.toronto.craigslist.ca Of course, my favourite place to buy and sell second hand stuff- just about everything that you can think of! I've purchased digital cameras, iPods, snow tires, you name it, it's on Craig's List! Thanks Craig, I love you! www.kijiji.ca Craig's Lists' little cousin, a more commercial version run by E-Bay, but pretty good too. Things to Do Sites in the GTA/ York Region www.childslife.ca Great local website for all of York Region, includes an event calendar which I frequent regularly along with lots of links to local businesses, and parent forum. www.newmarketbaby.ca Another great local website for finding out about what is going on in York Region. Includes an event calendar and contacts for all things baby, kids and family. www.kiddingaroundtoronto.com This site give information for Toronto and the GTA, so it's another great source for things to do with the kids. Mommy Information www.babycenter.ca Visited this site a gazillion times while pregnant (and while trying to get pregnant)! Someone should tell them that that's not the way we spell "centre" in Canada though...lol! www.safefetus.com A site that tells you the potential risks associated with taking medications while preggers or breast feeding. Visited this one a lot - it's American, but I find it easier to use than the Motherisk site at 3 a.m. when you are just praying that you can take something to help you get through the night... Call Motherisk in the morning though, it's Canadian! www.motherisk.org A site run by Sick Kids Hospital that once again explains the risks of taking medications while pregnant or breast feeding. For all of you planning to get pregnant write this number down, you'll need it! (416) 813-6780 - Motherisk's Home Line http://www.health.gov.on. ca/english/public/program/telehealth/telehealth_mn.html A government of Ontario website that offers free advice from nurses over the phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Another lifesaver when you're kids come down with mysterious symptoms in the middle of the night and you're not sure what to do! Everyone probably knows this already, but I swear it takes me forever to find the number or link when I really need it, so here it is! 1-866-797-0000 TTY : 1-866-797-0007 Friends www.kidsontheloose.ca Looking for somewhere for your kids to burn off some energy?
