		<title>THE IMPORTANCE OF A SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday, 13-year-old Julia Siegler was killed in a tragic accident when she was hit by two cars on Sunset Blvd in Los Angeles, as she crossed the street to catch her school bus. Her mother was there and witnessed the horrific event, as well as her classmates, who were in the bus and saw [...]]]></description>

		<title>No More Play-Dates At My House!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As much as my five-year-old son loves play-dates, I am ready to throw in the towel. No, it is not the fact that my house looks like a tornado tore through it after Dylan leaves- with chunks of play-do ground into the carpet and sharp Lego pieces scattered everywhere, just waiting for me to step [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I Don&#8217;t Call Myself A &#8220;Mommy-Blogger&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For starters, I find the term &#8220;mommy-blogger&#8221; off-putting. It&#8217;s kind of like the expression &#8220;mommy-makeover&#8221; or &#8220;MILF (which stands for &#8220;mommy I&#8217;d like to fuck&#8221;, in case you were wondering!)  &#8221;Mommy-blogger&#8221; feels patronizing, degrading- like a silly, little hobby that one does between changing poopy diapers.
Then there is the actual genre, which has many disturbing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dreaming Of My Mother</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I dreamt about my mom last night. It&#8217;s been awhile since she&#8217;s visited me in my dreams. Her appearances come in waves- I&#8217;ll see her every night for a week or two, then she&#8217;ll disappear for a month or more. She always seems to show up when I need her the most.
In my dream we [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Not To Do When Your Kid Flips A Table In A Restaurant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve all been there. You&#8217;re at a restaurant with your little munchkin and she innocently leans on the table- perhaps a bit too zealously. It tilts&#8230; and all the plates, glasses, and silverware start sliding down. Just as the image of your entire meal crashing to the floor flashes before your eyes, your semi-decent parenting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shitty Mom Syndrome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Perhaps I need to find a new hobby because I seem to spend most of my days wondering if I am a good-enough mom. When the gift of introspection meets an inherent tendency to beat myself up mercilessly over the smallest thing (real or imagined), my maternal angst blossoms. The fact that I am clinical [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Hanukkah Bushes in My House!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I totally get it. Christmas trees are beautiful&#8230;.the aroma, the sparkly ornaments, the beautifully wrapped presents underneath. I would be lying to say that at this time of the year, there isn&#8217;t a small part of me that wishes that I could partake in the Christmas festivities, too. But I don&#8217;t because I&#8217;m Jewish. 
Many of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holidays and Drinking Can Be Double Trouble</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Drinking and the holidays are pretty common partners.  Between now and the New Year  a &#8220;cup of cheer&#8221; can be hazardous for those already dealing with alcoholism and for others who get caught up in the reveling and can&#8217;t say no to just one more cup of eggnog punch.
While it is supposed to [...]]]></description>
