		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks back, in preparation for summer’s humid dog days and toddler boredom, I made the wise decision to rejuvenate the weedy, and neglected play structure lumbering in a state of paralysis in my backyard. This is/was a multitiered process that required purchasing a few hundred pounds of sand for the sand box. Simple [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I ran into a neighborhood woman accompanied by her school-age daughter. Niceties were exchanged, and simple banter revealed that this woman is actively home schooling her two children. She mentioned it as casually and confidently as someone would reveal their love of pancakes or vacation time. Upon hearing this, I felt a conflict [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Multiple choice:
A)     I will not vaccinate my child because, as I have carefully gathered information, I view the risks in immunizing my child to be far too great, and the benefits being uncertain at best.
B)     I will follow a full-course of the prescribed vaccines for my child [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Growing up in Los Angeles, you kind of take car culture for granted. As a child, I remember frequently piling into the Chevy to literally drive around the corner to pick up a half-gallon of milk. Sure, we could have walked, but the prospect of feet to pavement was never presented as an option, so [...]]]></description>

The menu was impressive on paper; with all matters of carefully selected ingredients to accent premium cuts [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to a Mother Jones article from May/June 2008, “A typical baby goes through 3,800 disposable diapers in her first 2.5 years.” Visualize this for a second.

		<description><![CDATA[The other morning, I was invited to one of those indoor gym facilities that cater to hyperactive toddlers and stir-crazy parents. There is a loose sort of structure to the gymnastic mayhem, but don’t be mistaken, it is mayhem of a toddler-colliding, primary-colored, off-gassing plastic mat sort of order. And I couldn’t help feeling at [...]]]></description>
