		<description><![CDATA[Last night I took my daughter to a midnight movie (on a Thursday night, no less). Let&#8217;s see, when is the last time I did that? Oh that&#8217;s right &#8211; never! There were NINE packed theaters at the Regal Cinemas we attended. And judging by who was in our theater, that means there are a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was putting away from clothes in my daughter&#8217;s room when I noticed a few things had fallen onto the floor next to her dresser. One in particular caught my eye: a baseball player&#8217;s autograph. To me, this piece of paper does nothing more than collect dust. Even if it were to become valuable monetarily, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I hate Christmas lights. Before you think I&#8217;ve gone all heathen on you, let me explain. I hate the commercialism of Christmas, and the lights seem to sum up all that is commercial about Christmas. I mean, why spend tons of money to make your house glow for a few weeks? I don&#8217;t get it. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past four years I&#8217;ve coached rec soccer. Throughout that time, I&#8217;ve learned a few things about parents and kids, winning and losing. I&#8217;ve led undefeated teams, and teams that haven&#8217;t won any games at all. With the close of this year&#8217;s outdoor soccer season, I decided to share a few of my lessons [...]]]></description>

Now that my oldest has her first year of middle school under her belt, she&#8217;s feeling less like a child and more like a teen. She also is more willing to assert her [...]]]></description>

My kids have more clothes in their possession than I have ever had in my entire life. Why must we keep this ritual of spend-spend-spend, even when most of us know we have more at home than [...]]]></description>
