		<title>Helloooooo Kitty!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Tacy&#8217;s sixth birthday, she wanted to go to Build-a-Bear Workshop.
We drove to the location where we thought there was a Build-a-Bear, only to discover that we were wrong.  Thanks to the lousy weather that afternoon (snow&#8230;on April 9&#8230;ugh), we decided to forego looking for another location and went out for pizza instead.
But she [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clippity doo dah!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t tell my kids, but on my dresser there&#8217;s a small bowl which holds all of the barrettes, clips, pony tail holders, and other hair accessories that I find around the house.  I started collecting them a few days ago, and while they still have plenty of goodies left in their bathroom, slowly but surely [...]]]></description>

		<title>Does it come with a sense of humor?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My maid-of-honor was a protocol officer in the Air Force.  That means that she was required to know exactly what should be done when and for whom, along with what music should be playing and which flags should be displayed.  While I did think it was kind of cool that she routinely rubbed [...]]]></description>

		<title>They did it all for the rookies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My one-sentence review of The Rookie Mom&#8217;s Handbook:  This book ought to be standard issue upon discharge from the hospital for every mother.
I&#8217;m not just saying that because I think Heather and Whitney, authors of the handbook and the original Rookie Moms themselves, are insightful writers with sharp wits and loads of enthusiasm.  This book [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beauty Confidential redux - six months later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I finished reading Beauty Confidential six months ago, I tucked it into my bag and went shopping at Sephora with Nadine Haobsh&#8217;s recommendations in mind.  I posted here about the products I&#8217;d been using myself and how well I liked them.  Now it&#8217;s time to revisit my routine - see what&#8217;s changed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Since when do little boys = construction and sports?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With my first two children - both little girls - I thought I was pretty picky about what they wore.  No licensed character-themed clothing (with the exception of undies - I&#8217;ll allow Disney Princesses as long as they&#8217;re not visible), and nothing with even a hint of sexuality.
Then I had a boy.  And I figured, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Imelda Marcos and her little sister live here</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really ought to feel guilty for spoiling my girls with all the pairs of shoes they own, but I just can&#8217;t do it.  Not when more than half of those pairs of shoes come from Vincent.
Tacy&#8217;s favorite pair of Vincent footwear would have to be her Blomma rain boots.  The child wears [...]]]></description>

		<title>I love her, she loves me&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;but neither one of us wants to watch Barney.
Being the younger sister, CJ has had the benefit (or not, depending how you view it) of watching the same programs as her older sister Tacy.  When in doubt, we screen the show geared toward the older child.  That means a modest amount of Dora, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Help your child to help themselves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long before we had children, Kyle and I knew that we wanted to give them every opportunity to succeed in whatever areas they chose.  We weren&#8217;t set on particular schools or activities or athletics; instead, our goal was simply to support them in whatever manner best suited each child.  But we didn&#8217;t consider [...]]]></description>

		<title>Always look on the bright side of life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I prefer to decorate my living spaces with more neutral colors, I do understand that bright colors and babies go together like peanut butter and jelly.  And  just like peanut butter and jelly, bright colors can be revolting if done poorly (like those PB&#38;J sandwiches in the elementary school cafeteria), but they [...]]]></description>
