In honor of that, I thought I’d share a few of my current favorites in the world of children’s books—some holiday-related, some not, but all absolutely delightful. Hopefully they'll give you that last bit of inspiration you need when finishing up your shopping for the little ones in your life.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the moment my son JR was surgically removed from my person three years ago, he's had an iPhone camera in his face. So I suppose it was inevitable that he'd want to get in on the action; I just didn't expect this to happen when he was two years old. I also didn't expect he would be so persistent that we would actually give in to his toddler-y demands. That's right. My son has his own iPhone.]]></description>

I have truly met my match. In fact, I birthed him. And he’s spent his almost three years on this planet holding a metaphorical mirror up to my face.]]></description>
