Christmas is in the air. And here’s what some St. Louis area parent bloggers have been celebrating the season.

Girls on the Run is a 10-week, life-changing program that encourages girls ages eight to 13 to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running. The program, with chapters all over America, combines training for a 5k event with confidence-boosting lessons that enhance the social, physical and mental health. And there’s a St. Louis Chapter as well!

A St. Louis reporter turned blogger makes the national news. And wow, does he!

A recent study showed that 61% of the US population is worried about having enough money to deal with the holidays, while 42% is worried about gift giving. Thirty-four percent are stressing over not having enough time to get things done, while an additional 23% are anxious about running up their credit card debt!

Let’s face it, while this is supposed to be a season of joy and socializing, not many people have the extra money to spend or time to nurture themselves.
