		<title>Interview with Kristen Horler, Founder of Baby Boot Camp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Born out of necessity, Baby Boot Camp arrived shortly after Kristen Horler&#8217;s first child in August 2001.  Horler searched the San Francisco Bay Area for a challenging fitness class that didn&#8217;t require hiring a personal trainer and a babysitter.  Drawing from her experience as a personal trainer, triathlete and mother, she developed Baby Boot Camp to balance the fitness needs of new moms with their desire to spend time with their baby.

		<title>Parent Prep School &#8211; The New App For Parents-To-Be!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There is no end to parenting advice&#8211;on the web, in books, from your neighbors, Dr. Phil&#8230;you name it, everyone has an opinion&#8211;especially for expecting first time parents.  But it is rare to get actual advice you can USE.  For the most part, the best parenting knowledge comes from other experienced parents in real life exchanges that leave out the psychobabble and aspiration and get down to the reality of it all.
That&#8217;s what inspired a couple of friends, Allison McDade and Allison Edwards (a/k/a &#8220;The Allisons&#8221;) to develop Parent Prep School, ...]]></description>
