		<title>Ages and Stages of Organizing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I remember the yard sale in which we got rid of the stroller. It was sitting in a corner of the garage and I told the hubby we could go ahead and get rid of it. I hadn’t used it in months and we knew we were on the last kid. It was kind of [...]]]></description>

		<title>What I Learned While on Crutches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I managed to do my ankle in, which landed me in an Aircast and crutches. I know what you’re thinking and for the record, I was not walking and texting. In fact, I was attempting to walk and talk at the VERY same time and managed to go over on my ankle. It’s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Scan or Not to Scan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s one of those things that is perpetually on my To Do “someday” list. Scan old photos. My grandmother passed down some family favorites and I have a few small boxes of photos from the pre-digital age. I used to scrapbook when my first son was born but 11 years later I am lucky to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family Friendly Sports</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Soccer sign ups are around the corner for us and I have been slightly dreading the crazy nighttime rituals when sports/activities are involved. I am thinking about something new for my daughter to do. She tried soccer and dance but she wasn&#8217;t really excited about either.  Last week we decided to go to the indoor rock-climbing wall.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Losing a Mama Friend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twelve years ago I gave birth to my first beautiful baby. When he was a few weeks old, I was invited by a local midwife to a neighbourhood centre to meet other women who had also just had their first babies. It was my introduction to the “moms group”. Moms groups get mixed reviews. Some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where is Your Time Going?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a friend share her TV watching line up with me recently and she had quite a routine with can’t miss shows.  In the same conversation we talked about how overwhelmed she is with her job responsibilities. She can’t seem to get it all done. The problem: She is doing work while watching TV. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Picture It Organized</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wanting to get organized this year once and for all? Don’t we all? I’m not big on setting resolutions; they tend to fade after a few weeks. We have the best intentions but really if you are going to do something you can just as easily do it now or in July. No matter when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outing Santa</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spoke last year about the difficulty of outing Santa to my son. He was at an age that most kids no longer believed, so he needed to know – I didn’t want his ‘believing’ to potentially embarrass him among his peers. I took the opportunity to spill the beans about Santa to him last [...]]]></description>

		<title>Setting Goals For the New Year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I sat it on a wonderful meeting where we discussed goal-setting strategies for the upcoming year. It may be hard to think about the next year when we are right in the middle of the holiday hustle and bustle, but now is a great time to start thinking about what you want the next [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talking Penn State With the Kiddos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend, the whole family was in the truck and Daddy-o needed to dash into a shop. The rest of us waited in the vehicle, talking about capital cities. By the time he returned, we were in a big conversation about Penn State. He shot me the “How the heck did that happen?” look. As [...]]]></description>
