		<title>Finding a Babysitter in My Area</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finding a babysitter has always been a challenge. Before joining a babysitting coop, I searched craigslist for a good sitter for my son. And I found one; however, that was only half the battle. Having a single babysitter is not very efficient: the odds of her being available every time you need her is extremely...]]></description>

		<title>My Son, the Author</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was a child, my favorite thing to do was write stories. My mother still has (somewhere?) the first story I ever wrote. &#8220;Watch the Flower Grow&#8221; is a tale of a small seed that &#8212; you guessed it! &#8212; grows into a beautiful flower. Free play time from ages 5 through 10 was...]]></description>

		<title>Sitting Around in the New York Times</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many people have a revered text, a writing that influences the way they view the world and live their lives. For some, this is the bible. For me, it&#8217;s the New York Times. You can imagine my elation, then, at being quoted in an article on entrepreneurial fashion in last Sunday&#8217;s paper. (Imagine if you...]]></description>

		<title>Erica Ever After?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So my mother sent me this text last night: Just watched Bethenny Ever After. She reminds me of you! At first, I recoiled. How could my mother think that? Based on the one show I&#8217;ve seen, it is clear that Bethenny is a stubborn, opinionated, loud Jew who likes fancy things and bossing boys around....]]></description>

		<title>Something&#8217;s Gotta Give</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Type A personality doesn&#8217;t typically afford me the luxury of giving up on something I&#8217;ve committed to achieving. Winning is in my blood. It&#8217;s a trait that Charlie Sheen and I share. (Thankfully, it&#8217;s the ONLY trait that Charlie Sheen and I share). So, when I decided to start a company, rather than quit...]]></description>
