		<description><![CDATA[Monster Mini Golf in Danbury, CT has made mini golf more weather friendly and more interesting. It provides that over-the-top Halloween atmosphere all year round. It is an indoor mini golf course, arcade, and birthday party place with black lights. When you first walk into the warehouse-looking building you see two rows of arcade games.<a class="moretag" href="http://blog.ctnews.com/mcneill/2013/03/01/family-review-of-monster-mini-golf-in-danbury/"> &#160;Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How does a perfectly normal mom become a homeschooler of a middle schooler? It seems to be an amazing step. I had no intention of becoming a homeschooling mother when my first daughter was born, yet I find myself on that journey now. I could not have considered taking this step except that I work-from-home.<a class="moretag" href="http://blog.ctnews.com/mcneill/2012/06/18/on-becoming-a-homeschooler/"> &#160;Read More</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shrek the Musical takes the parts we love about Shrek the movie and then sculpts the story to make it work really well on stage and with a lot of dancing. I was a little concerned that I might be watching the movie over again, but enough was changed to keep it fresh.

Everyone of her teacher&#8217;s was there, including an extra student teacher, the principal, and the school psychologist with  just my husband and me. It was hard. I had concerns but I couldn&#8217;t seem to get them heard.<a class="moretag" href="http://blog.ctnews.com/mcneill/2012/02/03/it-sucks-to-go-to-the-principals-office/"> &#160;Read More</a>]]></description>
