The holiday season is almost upon us. Once Halloween is done it's game on. Luckily October was GREAT with wonderful weather and the amazing Giants World Series win.  We've got tons-o-information to share: who's open on Thanksgiving, school fair info, and much, much more. We love to hear from other parents with ideas about kid-friendly restaurants, activities, and more. We're also always looking for people to write feature articles. If you have something you'd like to submit we'd love to hear from you.
