		<description><![CDATA[Last August, I learned that my staff had won a first place Missouri Lifestyle Journalism Award. This August, after some bureaucratic snafus and a mailing mishap that left the first trophy a shattered mess, we got the replacement. When I pulled it out of the box, I found myself paraphrasing Chief Brody in &#8220;Jaws&#8221;: &#8220;We&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

How can you resist?&#8221; Later, before we headed to the pool, she was watching dreamy-eyed as Herb rubbed suntan lotion on my back. &#8220;I know, I know,&#8221; I said. &#8220;You love [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, this is how unplugged I am. Thought the Oscars started at 9 p.m., so just tuned in. Sad, but not as sad as the presentation I just saw. 1) Tilda Swinton proved that last year was NOT a fluke. She doesn&#8217;t know how to pick out clothes. She followed last year&#8217;s horrid one-sided gown [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Children love talismans. Stuffed animals, security blankets, good luck charms. One of the sweetest things Camille does is leave little tokens under our pillows from time to time. We&#8217;ll be getting ready for bed, and find a polished stone, an artificial rose bud, a piece of her jewelry. Since I&#8217;ve been sick, they&#8217;ve both been [...]]]></description>

He was tall, with an imposing physique &#8212; you could imagine him crushing a beer keg [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Camille was headed on a field trip to the zoo this morning, and the instructions from school emphasized practical, weather-appropriate clothing and sneakers or tennis shoes. I was anticipating trouble from Camille, who likes her footwear pink, bare, and sock-free. I was so sure she&#8217;d resist that I followed her upstairs and started searching for [...]]]></description>

While the kids ate dinner, I headed upstairs to fold laundry. &#8220;Mommy, you should sit down and rest,&#8221; Abby said. When I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite the fact that I&#8217;ve seen only a fraction of the nominated films, I&#8217;m returning to my tradition of liveblogging the Oscars. Let&#8217;s face it &#8212; the fun of the Oscars is in the clothes and the hair and the speeches. Plus, I&#8217;m convinced that half the voting Academy hasn&#8217;t seen the films either.
