		<description><![CDATA[The thing about growing up as the youngest kid in a big family is that you always have a tendency to see yourself as the youngest in every situation&#8211; maybe not consciously, but it&#8217;s in there.

		<description><![CDATA[Over at Music City Moms they have a post that asks readers to send in their prom pictures, which is always a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Unless it is your own kid and was just taken last year or something, everybody&#8217;s prom pictures are funny; the older, the funnier. Even more than wedding pictures, I think, because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You know what makes me yell out loud at the TV? Literally? That &#8220;I Know My Kid&#8217;s A Star&#8221; show on VH-1. Please tell me you&#8217;ve watched it at least once&#8211;if not, you are SO missing a cathartic opportunity to purge yourself of any latent mom-guilt you might be carrying around.
