		<title>Helluva Week&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Way to go summer!  It&#8217;s only Wednesday night and thus far this week:

Zoe taught her 4 year old self to swim in the 8 foot section
Amelia forgot she was potty trained. On multiple occasions.
A colleague flayed me alive for no good reason
Some neat, new alliances were made
Pre-planning for the start of school (9/7) and preschool [...]]]></description>

		<title>Product Review: Good Humor Ice Cream &amp; Sweepstakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I think of Good Humor ice cream, I have pleasant memories of my childhood and stopping by the local bodega on a hot back-to-school day to grab a Chocolate Eclair while waiting for the bus.  Or maybe a Strawberry Shortcake. So I was excited to get a chance to review this product.
I went to [...]]]></description>

		<title>F-word series: Feeling Fabulous, an &#8220;Operation Beautiful&#8221; Book Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

I&#8217;ll be honest, I am so NOT feeling fabulous today, and it&#8217;s not just my broken toe.  One of those weeks, particularly at work, which is usually easy-going (aka boring), but I don&#8217;t want to dwell on bad incidents only on the fact that I Handled Them.
Maybe it&#8217;s the end-of-summer &#8220;I feel yucky, bring on [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;This Sucks&#8221;, and the Bad Mommy Blues..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was &#8220;one of those days&#8221;. The sun refused to shine, and maybe I had not had enough sleep or allergies kicked in or whatever, but I woke up down and out.  I rarely do depression anymore, so it was hard to sit at work so off-kilter. We still have more than a week for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Split / Focus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is an issue I come to over and over.  I&#8217;ve always had something of a split focus, figuring out where I live professionally, and how to balance that as a writer.
However, 7.75 years in, I realize now that I have another split: parenting.  Today, for example, was filled with taking the girls to their [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Few F-Words: Foundational things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, I snagged your attention by letting fly a few &#8220;F&#8221; words: Fearless, Foxy, Fabulous. Since then, I&#8217;ve decided that every Friday, I&#8217;m going to blog about an &#8220;F&#8221; word that has changed my life&#8230;and can, maybe, change yours.
Before I get started though, I thought I&#8217;d take this First Friday to review [...]]]></description>

		<title>Potty Training Tips for the Hard-to-Train</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it happened.  10 days ago we packed our gear and Amelia&#8217;s gear for Dutch Springs, and I realized she did not need a swimmer.
I repeat:  SHE DID NOT NEED A SWIMMER!!
It was then that I realized Amelia is potty trained.  Well, mostly.  She still sneaks on pullups when she needs to poop, or saves [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baptism, Christening, Kids, &amp; Faith</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On August, 22nd at my awesome church we are having “baby dedication Sunday”, which is for kids age 12 and under.  We did a dedication of my two girls at my former (and also beloved) church.  It&#8217;s essentially a brief ritual by which you and the church as whole agree to raise these children in [...]]]></description>

		<title>A couple of F words and my quest for a better life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In case you didn&#8217;t catch it, I mentioned &#8220;fearlessness&#8221; in my last post.  I have decided that Mom-Blog needs to go somewhere new.  In fact, God is heavily leading me somewhere new on a daily basis.  I am clearly on a road less traveled, but there is more to do.
Frankly, what I&#8217;m in now is [...]]]></description>
