Our Monday highlight of 3 things to do this week.
It might be something for all of us; and it might be local; and it could be related to any of the subjects we write about on Motherpedia - money, education, health, fitness, food, beauty, pregnancy and, of course, kids.
Buy a Bandanna
Support young people living with cancer and buy a bandanna.
Friday is National Bandanna Day, the annual fundraising and awareness campaign run by youth cancer charity CanTeen.
CanTeen supports young people along every step of their cancer journey by providing specialist services to help them cope with the physical, emotional and social impact of living with cancer.
