It was one of those mornings when I was rushing around trying to get him out the door for school. As I was putting his shoes on I realized I forgot my keys on the kitchen counter.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over and so the time comes to buckle down on our holiday shopping. Can we tackle Garden State Plaza? Um, no thanks is your first thought, right? But, I was surprised that there are quite a few kid-friendly places spread throughout the mall and with a little planning you too can survive this mall during the month of December.
