Happy holidays! Are you ready?
If you're a new mom, check out our "Help for Holiday Madness" -- ways to get you through this hectic time of year without losing your cool. (Hint: when you go to Grandma's house, don't expect everyone to take care of baby for you -- you're still the mom, and if your baby fusses during dinner, you're on your own).
Want to be a better parent? Who doesn't. We've got 8 ways -- sometimes that's all it takes, and I bet you're already doing most of them anyway. (Check out "8 Ways to Be a Better Parent".)
Why does a baby cost so much? "The Money Pit" tells you why -- and suggests some ways to rethink your spending and learn how to save a little more. Good advice on how to start the New Year.
Again, enjoy the holidays and make it a real family time.
