Mom’s The Word Part II
Well, we definitely know who our go-to-girls for advice are now.
You savvy moms sent in hundreds of submissions to our request for mom advice and we had a very hard time choosing! But choose we had to (because we only had 10 great DVD prizes to share with you, and congratulations to those of you selected btw). Today we’re pleased to present more great mom advice—your collective wisdom, one could say—from our savvy readers.
