		<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[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>

		<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>

But I am observing another &#8220;no time to cook dinner at dinner time&#8221; day. I remember when we first returned to Maryland six years ago. We moved into our &#8220;house&#8221; (which [...]]]></description>

Or have you tried—again and again—to help someone make better choices, only to have that person throw it all back in your face? Been there. Doing that. So I pray. I pick up my Bible.

I was pushing a cart with a toddler and a baby (which should have been clue number one to the other shoppers that I was sleep deprived and irritable). My toddler had a tendency to run away from me, so I quarantined [...]]]></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>
