		<description><![CDATA[I always said my kids would never play with guns. Then I had two boys and realized that wasn&#8217;t necessarily realistic. Still, I worried. I wasn&#8217;t really sure why, but it just seemed wrong. One of the joys of being a parenting journalist is having access to many of the top professionals in their field. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My 12-month-old is absolutely terrified of santa. When she first saw him at her big brothers&#8217; school she shook and screamed with such intensity that one of the teachers thought she was having a seizure. At first I was sad that her terror meant there would be no santa photo with all three of my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The answer may seem obvious. How can it really be a good idea to let kids bring cellphones, iPads and other hand-held devices into the classroom. Kids will copy on tests, ignore their teacher and waste valuable learning time chatting with friends on Facebook. That was my initial reaction when the Toronto District School Board [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I get it. We all want our kids to be safe. To be honest, I don&#8217;t really want to get hurt either. But banning all hard balls on school property because a parent was hit in the head with a soccer ball may be taking things a little too far. Earl Beatty Junior and Senior [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Being a work-at-home mom allows for some amazing bonding time with my girls. It blows my mind that next year Kyla will be in full-day kindergarten and we won’t be spending all our days together. It makes me happy and sad that she is growing up and becoming so independent. Ryah will begin a preschool [...]]]></description>

We soon met a few other neighbourhood moms and the “Alderchicks” were born. We started meeting every Friday for coffee. We would go for beautiful [...]]]></description>

Packing and preparing for a move all while nursing a newborn every two hours was stressful. How much can you accomplish [...]]]></description>

I had only left one week between Kyla&#8217;s due date and my last day of work. My thought? No baby ever arrives on their due date, right? Well, Kyla did. After 22 [...]]]></description>
