Moms Talk Q&A: Do You Limit the Sweets?

Holidays like Easter provide plenty of sugary treats. What do you do with them all?

And do you resist sugary urges to set a positive example for your children (as difficult as it may be!)? Please share your stories in the comments box below. Our Moms Council members will offer their thoughts too.
