Are you dealing with holiday cravings? Val Smorol has some tips on how to deal with those cravings that every pregnant mom deals with.

I want every mom to know it is okay to have these. It’s if you’re pregnant. But what I always tell them to do is … This is where you take a knife and you just cut it in half or cut it in fourths because a lot of times we want to taste it. We don’t need to indulge in it.
