A discussion of Christmas gifts at WSJ.com’s The Juggle shows that gift certificates are the way to go:

Cool Mom Picks finds the perfect baby clothes for your little geniuses:

No longer.

Jayne at NYC Moms reminisces about her pregnancy with her second child, a boy:

“Your brother was wonderful. And not hyper at all,” she said. “In fact, in kindergarten his teacher told me he was the peacemaker in his classroom.” I might give birth to Gandhi! It’s in my DNA!
