		<title>Government Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I signed my nine year old, Max, up for a one day program in Tallahassee to learn about the processes of government and how laws are made.  Having read that, you probably have one of two questions.
If you&#8217;re from one of the other 49, less sunshiny states, you may be wondering why I&#8217;d send [...]]]></description>

		<title>Easy Omelets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Do you do all the cooking in your household? Is it always up to the parents to prepare every meal? Sometimes it&#8217;s good to teach preteens or teens how to make their own meal, so if you can&#8217;t make it home in time to prepare dinner, they can still make something that&#8217;s filling and nutritious [...]]]></description>

		<title>Aqua Sand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When my younger son asked for Aqua Sand for his upcoming fourth birthday, I gave him one of my best non-committal dad answers to give me time to think it over.  I had seen the commercials, so I was familiar with the basic concept.  I had seen enough to realize that I needed to do a mental pros &#38; cons checklist [...]]]></description>

		<title>Babies Are Not Drones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Newsflash, babies are not mindless drones.  You can’t program them to follow a specific schedule or even to act a certain way.  They are people.
Now with that newsflash out of the way, let us get to the root.  I always thought that my self-discipline and desire to strive for excellence would be the key to [...]]]></description>

		<title>High School Course Selection</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple weeks ago I was given the forms to select classes for 9th grade (next year).  The process isn&#8217;t hard but can be a little tricky and requires you to juggle classes and make decisions, so I thought I&#8217;d provide some guidance.

First of all, course selection does not mean you get to pick fun [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPod Nano</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s product review is a joint article, crafted by my twelve year old daughter (Sam) and me. 
Michele: When my husband and I decided to purchase iPod Nanos as Christmas gifts, I thought our children would like them.  As a fan of music, I thought it would be a great way for them to listen [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tween-Age Birthday Parties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a mom, I&#8217;m amidst the fabulous tween and teen years for three of my children.  Long gone are the days of birthday parties with a theme, in which I created games and crafts that matched the desired theme.  No more pin the crown on the princess or hunt for the plastic reptiles in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>PTO Survival Guide</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the challenges that we, the parents, must face at some point in our journey is the PTO meeting. I’m not a big proponent of homeschooling, but I give it some thought twice a year at the Parent Teacher Organization meetings. As a helpful service to those who have yet to venture into the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Prince Lionheart Premium Wipes Warmer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am on record saying how dumb I think it is to spend money on frivolous items that truly are not needed.  I even used the wipes warmer as an example of this.  I have to be honest, though.  This warmer is pretty good.
For less than $30, the Prince Lionheart warmer is a high quality [...]]]></description>

		<title>Firefly Phone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Firefly cellular phone is a neat concept for parents of children who want a cellphone but may not be ready for one.  The Firefly is a simple to use cell phone designed for maximum parental control.
My nine year old son has absolutely no reason to own a cellphone.  He doesn&#8217;t go anywhere without us. [...]]]></description>
