		<title>Friday Fill-ins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Go ahead, there&#8217;s some leftover birthday cake in the kitchen. Please eat it so that it&#8217;ll stop screaming to me from inside its little plastic box. 2. The urge to clean: I keep hoping I&#8217;ll get that soon! 3. Don&#8217;t worry, God&#8217;s got this&#8230;whatever &#8220;this&#8221; may be! (Reminder to self...) 4. I have not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Signs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was absolutely thrilled Monday to find an awesome deal on a train table. I&#8217;d wanted to get Jonah one for Christmas, but couldn&#8217;t find any good enough deals at that time. And since I can stretch a dollar til&#8217; it screams, I wasn&#8217;t going to buy one until I found a REALLY deep discount. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy 14th Birthday, Zach</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was pregnant with my first child, Zach, I made a statement that came back to haunt me. It was in response to the outpouring of unsolicited advice I received from experienced parents. Parents who’ve been around the block a few times tend to offer a lot of advice to newbies: “Put a hat [...]]]></description>

		<title>Saturday Nine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Haven&#8217;t done one of these in a while. (Can you tell I&#8217;m procrastinating on a project?) LOL But first, a pic from my files, because what fun is a blog post without pictures? That&#8217;s my cutie-pie Zach when he was about two. I am still in denial that he is &#62;THIS&#60; close to turning 14! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday Fill-ins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. It&#8217;s time to get another bottle of the pink stuff. Jonah has an ear infection. 2. Praise the Lord anyhow! &#8230; and don&#8217;t forget the gratitude! 3. I&#8217;m trying to fight off a touch of what my boys have been sick with this week. Blah. 4. &#8220;Didn&#8217;t realize that Nerf was also one of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuff Happens, Part Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stuff happens when you&#8217;re two. Because everything is fascinating and new. Such as the little bottle of &#8220;sho-shun&#8221; that was on mama&#8217;s nightstand. She left me on her bed &#8212; SILLY MAMA! &#8212; and went into the bathroom one morning. I believe she thought I was still asleep. HA!!! I immediately stripped off my pajamas, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Column: Happily Ever After Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The column that ran on our 21st wedding anniversary, January 15th. Twenty one years ago today, I stood before a handful of friends and family in a little church and said, “I do” to the man of my dreams. Except, he wasn’t exactly the man of my dreams. That guy I fantasized about for so [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stuff Happens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;when you&#8217;re two. Because when you&#8217;re two, you&#8217;re learning how everything works and you just can&#8217;t STOP YOURSELF from getting into mischief. When Dad put away the Christmas stockings, he left all the goodies on the dining room sideboard. Silly Daddy. Doesn&#8217;t he know I&#8217;ve become a pro at unwrapping candy? Even complicated Reese&#8217;s Peanut [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; 1. Discussions about politics are already getting old. And it&#8217;s only January. 2. And yet I still feel compelled to say that this time next year, I hope we get to wish the Obama administration a hearty goodbye. 3. I think it&#8217;s time for me to have a couple of days alone. 4. Because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Column: Resolving to do Better</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not to start the New Year off on a downer, but I just read the first blog post I made in 2011 and realized how poorly I did at meeting the goals I set for myself 12 months ago. Someone once said that New Year Resolutions were just a “to-do” list for the first week [...]]]></description>
