From the Editor's Desk...

With the whirlwind of the holiday season soon over, I'm sure us moms could all use a little down time.  I know I certainly could!

Instead of providing links for you to educate your children, this week I'd like to focus on YOU!  The links below will give you some advice and ideas on ways to carve a little "Mom Time" into your day, along with some ways to rejuvenate and pamper yourself!

So make some tea, sit down and relax!
