		<title>Your kids do their own laundry?!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people I have talked to find it amazing that my kids do their own laundry.  I figure if my four year old can put his clothes on and take them off by himself then why can&#8217;t he put them in the washing machine too?
Both of my boys push and pull their laundry basket into the laundry room once [...]]]></description>

		<title>Laundry and the KISS principle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry I left the laundry blogs hanging . . . between the end of the school year, two kids with ear infections and a third on antibiotics, I basically did what we all needed most; cuddled up with my kiddos in blankets and watched cartoons all day.
Now that life is back to normal (if that&#8217;s what you [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is it I&#8217;m always doing but never getting done?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Laundry! 
 
Laundry is just one of those chores that I really can&#8217;t stand because it&#8217;s never truly finished.  As long as my family is wearing clothes, there&#8217;s dirty laundry.  Not that my kids wouldn&#8217;t love to run around naked on laundry day, I just don&#8217;t think anyone would want me to join them.  So I got to thinking, besides [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life&#8217;s little lessons can be found in the toilet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently it has come to my attention that my boys can dirty up a toilet faster than you can say &#8220;Hit or Sit!&#8221;  It takes me twice as long to clean the toilet as it does for them to mess it up.  But that&#8217;s all about to change.
 
The other day I armed myself with toilet [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Best Mother</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever wondered how or why you were ever entrusted with one of Gods children?  Have you ever caught yourself saying &#8220;what was He thinking&#8221;?  Have you ever wondered why God sent you the children He did?  Have you ever wondered what you did to deserve them, in both good ways and bad?
 
Well, I&#8217;ve learned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Time Out Sheet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow!  I had such a huge response about our time out sheet that I thought I&#8217;d post it here for everyone.  Feel free to tweak it to fit your families needs and the ages of your kids.  I originally got the idea from pecentral.com where they talk about time out with purpose.  Crystal Coffman who teaches [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mommy, go to time out!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What home with little kids wouldn&#8217;t be complete without a &#8220;time out spot&#8221;?
My four year old is all too familiar with our time out spot.  I pretty sure he&#8217;s worn an indention in the floor where he sits to think about his choices that led him there.  With my seven year old the time out spot became a [...]]]></description>

		<title>When did you become a &#8220;true mother&#8221;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny that I really didn&#8217;t consider myself a &#8221;true mother&#8221; the instant that my first baby was born.  I guess what I considered a &#8220;true mother&#8221; to be was, not just the mother of a child, but a mother who does some of those weird mom things that your own mother did that you swore you&#8217;d never do.  Like show up to [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;old&#8217; is the NEW, new.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not really sure how it happens, I just know that it does.
It must take place late at night while everyone is sleeping.  I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s multiplication, cloning, or mitosis, but some how when I wake up in the morning there are twice as many toys in our house as there were when I went to bed!  And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bedtime Battles . . . Bring it on!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I thought that I would spare you my horrible singing voice by writing the lyrics down for you to sing to yourself as you read this wonderfully re-written rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.  Please enjoy &#8220;Ode to the Bedtime Battle&#8221;.

OOOHHH, say can you see, by the evenings fading light,
what so loudly had wailed was my toddler not sleeping.
Whose small feet [...]]]></description>
