		<description><![CDATA[I took my 5 month old daughter to a local pumpkin patch last week. As I was dressing her in the &#8220;My First Halloween&#8221; outfit I&#8217;d bought her to celebrate this little milestone, I started thinking about all of the other &#8220;firsts&#8221; that would be hers to claim in the next few months; her first [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Four weeks ago, I began writing a post for this blog on the  topic of work/life balance. Then I got so busy with work and well, life, that I kept running out of time to work on it. (Hmmm&#8230;there&#8217;s a lesson there, I think!)

		<description><![CDATA[Labor Day. Let me begin by saying that after you&#8217;ve brought 5 children into the world, it&#8217;s pretty near impossible to hear the word &#8220;labor&#8221; and not think of the birth process. But &#8220;Labor Day&#8217; of course, has nothing to do with childbirth. Instead, according to the US Department of Labor, Labor Day &#8220;is dedicated [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mothers aren&#8217;t allowed to have favorites.  We&#8217;re expected to love all of our children equally. But I&#8217;m here today to confess to you that among my 6 children, I absolutely have a favorite. Which one is it, you ask? Well, let me explain. Several years ago, when talking to a dear friend and mothering mentor, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes, in the process of trying to teach my children a valuable life lesson, I end up learning one myself.
