		<description><![CDATA[Isn’t my little guy handsome? I asked him to look tough for that picture. One of the most important things I can do for my children will be to teach them the value of hard work. I admit, though, it’s not my strongest area of parenting. It’s much easier to clean up a mess myself [...]]]></description>

My three lovelies (what I affectionately call my kids on the best of days) came into my room&#8212;not too early&#8212;on Mother&#8217;s Day morning with this for breakfast: a grapefruit, warm water with honey and lemon, and strawberries with chocolate ganache. We added the bananas later when the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I thought I&#8217;d interview my kids on the best way to use the phone. Though they are pretty good with some phone manners, they need reminding every so often. And since the best to learn something is to teach it, I thought it would be fun to help them master their telephone skills by [...]]]></description>

I believe those and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I grew up in a small section of an historic town in New England.  Most of the houses dated from the eighteen hundreds and earlier (Okay, everyone in Europe, stop laughing.  I know you don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s very old.).  In the center of our neighborhood, we had a general store which all the kids fondly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, I was watching the BYU channel, and saw a small lecture given by Chieko Okazaki.  She talked about raising families with love and respect.  Among her many ideas, the one that stood out was her simple set of rules she had in her home:  Be polite; be safe.  Just about every [...]]]></description>
