		<title>Hyper-quest in the making</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since my last post I have had some time to sit down and put some leg work into my Webquest (err, hyper-quest). First off I decided to use HyperStudio because I am so finicky about using fun fonts and graphics that were just not available through Questgarden. Though I have no doubt I will be]]></description>

		<title>WebQuest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My current project for reflection is a webquest. For those of you reading who are not in my Instructional Applications &#38; Software class, a webquest is an awesome tool for students (created by teachers) to lead them around the web to learn about specific content standards in a fun manner. Sort of like a choose]]></description>

		<title>Live for the Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was stumbling today when I found a quote that read &#8220;the best things in life aren&#8217;t things&#8221;. I instantly thought of how true the statement was, since as I see it the best things in life are moments. Moments we spend with family, friends, and even strangers. So why do we focus so adamantly]]></description>

		<title>My Valentine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Valentine&#8217;s Day is only an hour away so I feel inclined to share three of the sweetest things my wonderful husband has ever done for me. In no particular order here they are: Most thoughtful: As a few of you know I had lap-band surgery last March. Part of the process involves going on a]]></description>

		<title>Thursday Thirteen: Favorite Sounds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. &#8220;Night-Night&#8220;: One of the most calming parts of my day is when these words are finally uttered by my kids. 2. &#8220;Lets go&#8220;: I love getting out of the house. 3. Lively music: Having waitressed for 11 years, I found myself driving to work with a scowl on my face way too often. Instead]]></description>

		<title>&quot;I get to play all by myself&quot;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first four years of his life, my oldest was an only child. Luckily we lived right next door to two of his cousins so playmates were close by.  Still though friends go home, and he was left all by himself. To this day we tease him about trying to bribe  them with candy to]]></description>

		<title>When marketing forces you to improvise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Companies spend a lot of time and energy marketing to kids. In fact I&#8217;d guess that kids may be one of the biggest audiences in their business. They grab them with commercials, magazine ad&#8217;s, and product placement in their favorite shows. But the real kicker is when they use their favorite cartoon characters to sell]]></description>

		<title>Good Samaritans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a kid I can tell you my dad helped just about anyone we crossed paths with. He was by profession an auto-mechanic, but really he was just handy with almost anything. If someone needed help, stranger or not he was the guy who stopped, and he would never accept anything in return other than]]></description>

		<title>Curb the Cravings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the quickest ways to ruin a diet is to give into the cravings that inevitably show up right when you are trying to be at your best. Hasn&#8217;t this happened to all of us? You&#8217;ve worked for days to eat just the right meals,  kept on task with an exercise plan, and been]]></description>

		<title>Space Cadets &amp; Know It Alls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Haven&#8217;t we all heard at some point in parenting our toddlers that old adage, &#8220;just wait for the teen years&#8221;? It somewhat dimishes the troubles we are facing at the time, but it is usually coming from a mother who knows and has been through both stages of development. Well here I am parenting one]]></description>
