This show runs the gamut! We offer some ideas for last minute gifts – in case you are still looking! We also send kudos out to our FedEx delivery people and our USPS people. They are working hard! We discuss possible gifts for teachers and wind up the show with some great tips for getting the best pictures from your holiday events courtesy of Parenting.com.

Its the holidays, and we all push ourselves shopping, partying and trying to make special memories for our kids. However, if you are pregnant, you need to be careful. Pace yourself!
