		<description><![CDATA[The other day I noticed my daughter had a rather distinct tan line just below her knees, from wearing her long softball socks during sunny games. I, being the oh-so-tan-line-conscious mom, said, &#8220;Do you want to wear some shorter socks to help get rid of that tan line?&#8221; &#8220;No way!&#8221; came her response, &#8220;I like [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoyed a very Peter Pan type of childhood&#8230; well, if Peter Pan lived in the concrete jungle. All the neighborhood kids spent endless summer nights creating our own society of sorts, among the alleys in between row homes on the edge of Baltimore City. Most of us had no idea we lived in such [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When considering the phrase &#8220;stolen moments,&#8221; I&#8217;ve always thought of two young lovers stealing away for a little private time. But lately, I&#8217;ve come to realize it can simply refer to any precious moment in which one person is filled — or rather, overcome — with love for another. Let me explain. When my girls were little, [...]]]></description>

They asked that moms submit a short (no more than 300 words) devotional on one of five supplied verses. I decided to write about Ephesians 2:8-9.

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[Disappointment sucks. There. I said it. The only thing worse is dealing with your maturing child&#8217;s disappointment. When my kids were little, my husband and I could solve all their problems. Even better, we looked like total heroes in the process. &#8220;Mommy! My lollipop dropped in the gutter!&#8221; No problem! Let me get you a [...]]]></description>

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[A few years ago we were struggling to navigate the somewhat murky world of childhood money management. I talked to friends and fellow parents, young and old, to determine the best course of action. Do we give our kids an allowance at all? Is it tied to chores? How much do we give? Do we [...]]]></description>

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>
