		<description><![CDATA[When we moved to our current school district two years ago, we bought a house there, without selling the previous one.  This meant we ended up with two mortgages &#8211; one humongous and the other on a 10-year track to payoff.  This necessitated the serious need for a budget.
We&#8217;ve always considered ourselves pretty [...]]]></description>

Every year, our family is invited to participate in holiday cookie exchanges and each year, I&#8217;m overwhelmed by the idea, since I never seem to have my holiday act together like anyone else.

My friend Genny is hosting a thoughtful project this month, based on a book she read entitled, One Month to Live.  Although I certainly won&#8217;t know when my 30 day clock will begin, it&#8217;s an interesting prospect to consider how I&#8217;d use my time.

It&#8217;s not that they don&#8217;t get bored, but as parents we expect the kids to take ownership for their own entertainment. Our kids are better at choosing the fun stuff, and we&#8217;re better at running the [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a slideshow called &#8220;A Day in the Life of a Kindergarten student.&#8221;  It&#8217;s an idea that could easily be replicated in other districts.
