		<description><![CDATA[The start of a new year carries with it so many possibilities!  I love the notion of a fresh start, or just creating a little more space in the New Year for things that are important to me and to my family. 

In 2012, I want to create more space for connection to the people in my life—especially my children.  I thought about the activities that we’ve enjoyed together this past year- painting, simple crafts, baking, playing games- and then I wondered "what would make it easier to connect in these ways?"

It always comes back to space. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Oh yeah. This is going to make our friends jealous,” our friend laughs, checking out his family’s Christmas card.

“It’s a competition,” his wife adds. “Who has the cutest kids? Who took the best vacation? It’s not a Christmas card. It’s a competition.”

We’re among friends. The wine is flowing. The holiday card competition conversation is all in good fun, and yet in the days that follow I find myself reflecting on the increasingly extravagant cards we display in our house each year.]]></description>

This summary of articles from the Kidoinfo archives includes craft projects, local events, and books to read, along with tips and ideas to make holidays a little easier, hopefully less stressful—and memorable for the kids.

		<description><![CDATA[It was one of those days when abandoning the house seemed easier than cleaning.

We could just walk away with our shirts on our backs and start new. We could find an empty house without a carpet of Legos or a laundry pile that’s taller than me. I always thought the mess would get smaller as my kids got bigger. It's not happening.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[People love handwritten letters and bemoan their scarcity. Thank goodness part of our population is still cranking out handwritten letters in significant quantities: the birthday girls and boys. Our children are keeping the handwritten letter alive with their scrawly stacks of thank you notes.

At our house, this ritual is never painless. Even with fresh Sharpies and Wallace &#038; Gromit foldover notes, it's not much fun.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Guest Blogger: Margaret Owen

My son often ends up at school without his glasses, water bottle or having brushed his teeth!  So when I saw casapinka’s beautiful collage listing her daughter’s morning school checklist I was inspired!  I decided to paint one in acrylic as the fabric thoroughly intimidated me.  You could also collage with cut out paper shapes and pictures.

Now when my son and I check our get ready for school painting, it brightens our morning and gets us out the door with everything we need.]]></description>
