		<title>Old Spice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you are even remotely in tune with the internet you have likely seen the wave of Old Spice commercials made yesterday.  Of course everything started with a few commercials on TV, but then yesterday Old Spice did a series of 87 responses to questions asked of the Old Spice guy: Isaiah Mustafah.  The questioners [...]]]></description>

		<title>Before Parenting&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;you have to learn to get along. I have had a couple of conversations lately that have reminded me of a marital practice I have found very useful.  Before I talk about this little thing I would like to also highly recommend this advice from Doug and Nancy Wilson.  We have employed it since we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thoughts on being a playful mom.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a playful mom.  I tickle.  I chase.  I roar.  I act goofy.  This is not really how I imagined myself being as I tend to be fairly thoughtful and serious in most of my life.  I don&#8217;t enjoy playing board games (except maybe Scrabble&#8230;) and I&#8217;m not generally goofy with my friends.  But [...]]]></description>

		<title>Half-Birthdays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If everyone&#8217;s friends were as much fun as mine, they would have much better birthday parties. So we celebrating Luc and Alex&#8217;s half-birthdays yesterday.  There was cake (three kinds!), there were presents, and we had much laughter. The boys received squirt guns. They boys have lots of mischievous friends who started a minor war. The boys&#8217; friends [...]]]></description>

		<title>Teaching Cooking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had the pleasure of hosting a small cooking class on Saturday morning and it was great fun.  I&#8217;d never done something quite like that before but my lovely guests made it such a cheery time.  I served scones and coffee to start, then we made wild Mushroom Risotto, and ended the day with a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out of the Habit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been a slacker-blogger for most of this year.  I didn&#8217;t really mean to.  It&#8217;s my life&#8217;s fault. It all started with school.  The spring semester did its level best to kill me, and in my struggle to survive I barely blogged for four months.  Then summer arrived with its glossy promise of free-time [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Making of the Atomic Bomb</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This book, sent to me by fellow-blogger Missy Ween, was fascinating, hard to put down, and paradoxically hard to read.  The first third of the book was an enthralling history of the scientific inquiry into the nature of the atom.  It was also a minor crash-course in basic nuclear physics, as seen through the minds [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vacay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So we (my husband and I, our boys, and my in-laws) took a lengthy road trip (lengthy for traveling with a pair of toddlers) around southern Utah and Arizona.  We visited: Zion National Park, the Pink Coral Sand Dunes, The Grand Canyon (South Rim), The Vermillion Cliffs, and Glen Canyon.  We saw a LOT of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Memorial Day Dinner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This isn&#8217;t very timely, but as I just recently arrived home from a long vacation it&#8217;s taken me awhile to get back into the swing of daily life.  I just had to spend a few days lounging about in pajamas and doing nothing but sip coffee. For Memorial Day we had my lovely in-laws over [...]]]></description>
