			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mythoughtsideasandramblings.com">My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom  . . .</a></p><p>I know people hate Kate Gosselin.  I get that (kinda).  That being said &#8212; you have to give her credit.  I watch all the haters on Twitter and I&#8217;ve actually responded that I&#8217;d like to see any of us get on that show.  I can tell you &#8212; I&#8217;d suck.  I know I&#8217;d suck.  Most of us would suck.  Kate is not an actress, she&#8217;s not an athlete, she&#8217;s a mom.  Think how nerve wracking that show has to be.  The haters who are all about &#8220;she needs to stay home with her kids&#8221;.  Well, people, do your research.  They practice at her house!  Instead of tearing her down, us moms should be bringing her up.  We should be voting for her because she&#8217;s one of us.  Plus, it isn&#8217;t like Jon is paying child support for all those kids, so let the woman make a paycheck where she can!  I also hate that last week they made all the women look whiny with their little stories.</p>
<p>I have to say that Pam Anderson annoys me on the show.  It&#8217;s how much she can flaunt what she&#8217;s got.  I&#8217;m not impressed by that.  However, since she&#8217;s hot, the audience will keep voting for her.</p>
<p>Who do you like on Dancing With the Stars?  Anybody you hate?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mythoughtsideasandramblings.com">My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom  . . .</a></p><p>This afternoon <a href="http://www.Frigidaire.com " target="_blank">Frigidaire</a> announced that Jennifer Garner as their new celebrity ambassador! I love it!  She&#8217;s not only beautiful but definitely relateable.  Jennifer will be introduce Frigidaire’s new line of appliances.  These new appliance are designed with features that help save time in our busy schedules.  Jennifer will also be a part of Frigidaire’s new “Make Time for CHANGE (Creating Healthy, Active, and Nurturing Growing-up Environments)” campaign that supports Save the Children’s U.S. Programs.  They are dedicated to making a difference in children’s lives.  Save the Children created the CHANGE program to promote healthier lifestyles for children living in poverty by providing nutritious snacks and regular opportunities for them to be physically active.</p>
<p>Starting today, everyone who goes to Frigidaire.com and pledges to make time for a child, Frigidaire will donate $1 to support the CHANGE. As an added bonus, everyone who pledges her time will be entered for a chance to win a new Frigidaire Professional double wall oven.</p>
<p>I hope to see you over there making a difference in children&#8217;s lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://mythoughtsideasandramblings.com">My Thoughts, Ideas, and Ramblings - A day in the life of a busy mom  . . .</a></p><p>The internet can be a really scary thing nowadays.  As an adult, we sometimes can get tangled up in sites and things we shouldn&#8217;t.  Being that our kids are so tech savvy nowadays, it worries me.  Madison is only five, and she can easily get on the internet and over to Noggin.com.  If she can do that at five, I am afraid of what the teenage years can and will bring.  The National Center for Missing &amp; Exploited Children has really stepped up to the plate to the challenge of educating our children.  They used their expertise to develop <a href="http://www.nsteens.org/" target="_blank">NetSmartz</a>.  This is site the educates, engages, and empowers kids as internet users.  The site has seven teen characters.  There are bios, comics, and videos of all these characters.  You can read and watch about social networking, improper internet usage, cyberbullying, and offline consequences just to name a few.  The videos even have real teens on them also.  You still need to have a conversation with your teens about appropriate online behavior, but this sure opens up the conversation for you.</p>
