		<title>Can&#8217;t Get Enough of Brown Bear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My children love the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle. They enjoy reading it and having it read to them.
Before naps and at night, Baby picks up her Brown Bear board book and takes it to her room.
The girls also enjoy reading and retelling the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=764&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Facebook&#8230;to friend or not to friend?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest dilemmas for me when it comes to Facebook is whether to add a &#8220;friend&#8221; or not.
Recently, I received a friend request and I&#8217;ve been wondering if I should accept it or not.
The funny thing about social media&#8230;it&#8217;s really all about being sociable. Sometimes it means being sociable even with those who you [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=762&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s Pumpkin Carving Time!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We finally decided to carve the pumpkins that we picked at the pumpkin patch. We had to do it early since one of the pumpkins had a little bruised spot that looked like it was going to rot soon.
So here&#8217;s our first attempt at carving pumpkins for our family. I hope you get a good [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=742&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pumpkin Patch 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We did our annual pumpkin patch visit this weekend. Of course, the girls enjoyed themselves. This year we noticed that there was a whole section of white pumpkins but Princess insisted on the more traditional orange ones.
This year we decided to go for medium sized pumpkins. We usually pick mini pumpkins since it&#8217;s easier for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=726&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>New Strategy for Princess</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently Princess has decided to demonstrate her independence at home and at school.
Translation: She wants to do what she wants when she wants to.
Princess has always been pretty easy to discipline. She usually complies with our rules and expectations. Then all of a sudden (over the last 2 weeks) she&#8217;s been saying &#8220;NO&#8221; to almost [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=720&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Speaking of Bath Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Did you hear about this? It&#8217;s absurd.
I can&#8217;t believe that some innocent photos could lead to such disruption in a family. I know many families who have photos of their children taking a bath or playing in the bath. It&#8217;s a big deal, especially with your first child and their first bath. I mean we even have a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=713&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My Shower My Refuge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update: Mr. MaD informed me that the new (2nd) showerhead actually cost $40 not $45 like I thought. Gee, we actually saved more money than I thought we did.)
As a mom, I barely have my own time. I know you understand. For me, I cherish my bath time. Why? Probably because it&#8217;s the only 10-15 [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=703&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Sloppy Joes My Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently in the mood for sloppy joes so I searched for some easy recipes online.  Most  of the recipes contain similar ingredients. I finally settled on Rachael Ray&#8217;s Super Sloppy Joes. It had good ratings and seemed pretty easy to prepare.
Although I wanted to prepare sloppy joes, I decided that I would use [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=694&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Parents Need a Playgroup Rulebook</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am sure that I&#8217;m not the only mother out there who has experienced &#8220;inappropriate&#8221; behavior of children and parents while in a playgroup or class.
Some might say I&#8217;m overprotective (that&#8217;s already confirmed), others may say that it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m a middleaged mother (not as laid back).
Whatever the reason, I still believe there should be a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=confessionsofamiddleagedmom.wordpress.com&blog=1748469&post=690&subd=confessionsofamiddleagedmom&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
