Good morning and Happy Saturday! You've likely got plans today that involve shopping, decorating or even attending holiday events at your Church or other social function. So you've got a lot of plans and even if it's just going to be a quiet day at home with your family, you've got things to do. So let's tackle our week in review and highlight what we talked about this week in case there was anything you missed.

In Sports and Your Kids we talked about the pressure we put on our kids with organized sports and the threat that can pose to them physically and mentally.
