		<description><![CDATA[Models.  Some of us love to hate them and hate to love them.  Teenagers want to be them and parents expend immeasurable energy trying to convince teens that modeling is not all it&#8217;s cracked up to be.  It&#8217;s a hard sell, because on the surface, the life of a model appears the thing of which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was a pretty typical one in my humble abode.   I worked, made dinner, did a bit of housework, watched the news, answered to callings of &#8220;Mom?&#8221;, and ran a couple of errands.  Nothing remarkable for the most part &#8211;  until late this evening. After sitting down at my desk to browse the news [...]]]></description>

Those are all things that this mom is not making a commitment to do.  Not today anyway. I don&#8217;t like failure, and from where I sit, committing to certain lifestyle [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As of today, I am 63 days sober after having dropped Facebook cold turkey.  I&#8217;d pondered the self-censorship for many weeks and discussed the possibility of doing so with my husband many times, but the way that it happened was almost as a shock to even me. What brought about the sudden snub of one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; The picture above sums up the past few weeks in my household.  Trying to get my sixteen-year-old to understand the importance of  getting a summer job, at times, seemed like a full-time job for both my husband and me. I could hardly believe my ears when my teen yelled, &#8220;You don&#8217;t need the money! [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Children are busier than ever.  Early morning hockey and swimming practices, after-school sports activities, religious obligations, and maybe even after-school employment or volunteer responsibilities compete for their time.  Schedules can become overwhelmed and not allow enough time to do everything, so some families find that they skimp and relax the rules for homework. However, some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I once read the statement, &#8220;The more you worry, the less faith you have&#8221;.  Ouch!  That&#8217;s convicting.  I have great faith; enough to cover me and countless friends and family members, but I still worry at times.  Some of the things that I worry about are small, but others are large. &#8220;Where will we go [...]]]></description>

When I bought my first car, gas was somewhere around 89 cents per gallon. Ten buckaroos bought a fill-up in those days.  That was ice cream money [...]]]></description>
