		<description><![CDATA[As the springtime sun is shining, warming up the ground and helping plant life bloom all around us, it is so much fun to connect with the season by planting something of your own and watching it grow!

Families with the space and the inclination to go big may enjoy planning and planting a vegetable garden together.  Each family member can choose what they’d like to plant, and everyone works together on garden design, construction, planting and caring for the young plants.

But, perhaps you don’t feel very knowledgeable, or have the space for a large-scale garden….consider gardening anyway!]]></description>

TIFF Kids offers children and youth the opportunity to learn about cultural perspectives from around the world through the power of the moving image. More than just a day at the movies, TIFF Kids includes two public weekends for ages three and up and a two week long School Program for students in elementary schools. Featuring the best of Canadian and international cinema for children and youth, TIFF Kids offers a compelling selection of features and shorts on diverse subjects in a variety of genres and styles.

		<description><![CDATA[Give mom time.

One thing moms are short on is "time." Time to do read, exercise, finish a cup of coffee (while it is still hot) and time to do nothing. I know I am looking forward to some quality family time this weekend without cooking or laundry but I also look forward to my family allowing a little time to myself. Give a mom in your life an hour or more to herself this weekend.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whether it's a fun summer camp at a farm or increasing childcare, now's the time to make plans for long days of no school.

Have you finalized what you will do with the kids this summer or are you still making plans?

Summer options for children include: go to summer camp; continue the year-round childcare/daycare they already have; hire a nanny, au pair or babysitter; join a swim club with a babysitter; spend time with grandparents; or swap childcare with friends.

Which one of these ideas or combination works best for your family will depend on your child’s personality, your work schedule, and your budget. Here is a list of helpful suggestions to make this process a bit easier:]]></description>
