		<description><![CDATA[This year we went out on a limb and gave our families a really custom and really sentimental gift. We sent gift cards, too just so they&#8217;d have something a little more &#8220;physical&#8221; to use for the holidays, but I think the highlight of their Christmas was this video we had made by our family [...]]]></description>

Having learned how to use and work my way around Photoshop, I have a blast creating these cards every year. I did a few for friends and family last year and was excited to use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I left the work force to become a parent. I spend about 85% of my day-every day-just being a mother. Lots of things define the role of motherhood. The dictionary defines us as &#8220;a female person who is pregnant with or gives birth to a child.&#8221; And while technically that may be true, I&#8217;ve never [...]]]></description>

The only thing I&#8217;m really lacking is a few more things for the little guys&#8217; stocking. Stockings were always one of my favorites parts of Christmas growing up. Candy, tiny little trinkets that usually ended [...]]]></description>

I didn&#8217;t like punishment. I didn&#8217;t like disappointing my parents. So, I did whatever I had to to stay out of trouble. I remember, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Feature Friday is slowly becoming pretty much my favorite day of the week. Reading the fantastic posts that other bloggers so generously contribute; being able to spotlight said bloggers-those that I both admire and respect. What&#8217;s not to love? Plus, it gives me a much needed break from my regular blogging duties. I&#8217;m hoping to [...]]]></description>

You&#8217;d never know that he was born in Florida and spent a better part of his life enjoying warm temperatures, ridiculous humidity and the beach scene. While he adores the water and being near the ocean, this kid loves the snow. Sledding, snowball [...]]]></description>

But, despite how PHENOMENAL my SITS Day was yesterday, last night I hit a wall (not literally). I came down off my SITS high, read through nearly 100 amazing comments (you guys seriously rock!) and then just&#8230; fizzled out&#8230; [...]]]></description>
