		<description><![CDATA[This summer we took a 4-day cruise to the Caribbean on the Disney Wonder. This was our second trip on the Wonder, so I guess we&#8217;re seasoned sailors from the Midwest now.
This is definitely a trip the whole family will remember. At 11, my daughter was more interested in beaches and friends than Disney Princesses.

My 5-year old is playing his first season of t-ball this summer.

I just checked the activity calendar for my son&#8217;s preschool and found a Ronald McDonald visit scheduled this month!

In preparation for the day, my son had been asked the question, &#8220;What&#8217;s in mommy&#8217;s purse?&#8221; My son&#8217;s answer was a &#8220;cell phone&#8221; and &#8220;snacks.&#8221; Snacks is a no-brainer for any mom.
