		<title>Presence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

  

It’s a simple word, a word that I never gave much thought. When I was in elementary school, the teacher would call my name and I would say, “present.” Meaning, I’m right here. When I got older it was just a given that if I was somewhere then I was present. Later I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 7-Day Experiment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me start by saying that this experiment was not on my agenda. It was involuntary and in the beginning, I even compared it to not having any heat in the house during winter. However, much to my surprise, in the end the outcome was more than I expected.
It started on a morning a week [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8220;Surprise!&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Surprise!” 
“What did you do?”
“I made you polka dots mommy. Surprise!”
“Holy !@%$#%!!!!!!”
That was the conversation I had with my 4-year-old a few days ago. Oh, he surprised me all right, by redecorating every wall and floor downstairs with a collection of painted polka dots. Let’s start from the beginning… 
For those of you that don’t [...]]]></description>

		<title>This Could Happen To Your Child</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am writing this blog about a blood disorder that I’m pretty sure many of you don’t know about. I didn’t know anything about it until my second son&#8217;s recent diagnosis. It’s not very common, but doesn’t discriminate and can happen to anyone. My objective is to educate anyone who is unaware of this potentially [...]]]></description>

		<title>Here We Go Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Universe has spoken. Apparently it was tired of my fertility flip-flopping and made the decision for me. Yes, I am pregnant with baby #3. And it just so happens that I got rid of most of my baby stuff just last month. Fortunately, I have plenty of fertile friends and family members who are [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Have A Dream&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That more than twenty people will comment on this and all my blogs.
That I have a personal landscaper to take away all of my wrong decisions and the bug bites I obtain when making them.
That I am Samantha on Bewitched and can wiggle my nose and turn things around instantaneously. 
That flies talk to each [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dirty Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The dirty truth is that my life is filled with poop. Dog poop, cat poop, boy poop, and baby girl poop. It&#8217;s an awful word; one that I never thought would be a main part of my vocab, let alone clean up 50 times a day. Nevertheless, somehow it has entrenched my life. So much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adios Blockbuster!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Blockbuster,

I am at the end of my rope with you. But really it&#8217;s not your fault. It&#8217;s not your fault that I&#8217;ve been too preoccupied to do the smart and simple thing and join Netflix. It&#8217;s not your fault that I continue to rent kid&#8217;s movies from you at $4.29 that are too scratched [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sex In The City Realizations</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently stepped out of my reality and into the reality of four New York women. In my late twenties and early thirties, I faithfully watched their lives unfold and likened their single-girl experiences to my own. Four years later, not only has Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte&#8217;s lives changed, but also so has mine.
Let [...]]]></description>

		<title>Attention: Bloodshed In Aisle Six</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since the birth of my daughter, I&#8217;m unable to do a lot of things with just my boys. When my husband is home I try and take advantage of alone time with me and them. They are both at an age now where it is much easier to take them places. Or so I thought, [...]]]></description>
