		<title>Weekword: FLAVOR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It had been a loooooong time since I stopped by one of my favorite Monday Muse sites: Miss Aimee over in Artsyville. While there, I saw she had posted a new weekword: Flavor.  I hear that word and I think of big international festivals with lots of food, music, dancing, and more food from different [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sharing a Favorite Past Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my most absolute favorite things to do is relax with a good book. I love to sit and read. Lounge and read. Inside, outside, in the car (not while driving, of course), at the park, the beach, (and thanks to my E-Reader, in line at the grocery store) &#8211; basically anywhere and everywhere, [...]]]></description>

		<title>In My Defense&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;so all good intentions aside; my goal to post something here everyday in May has pretty much gone down the&#8230;well, you can use your imagination. In my defense, my other goal for May: to wake up every day at 5am and fit in 30-60 minutes of workin&#8217; out before my life as a Mama takes [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Biggest Fear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Putting aside all the major stuff like anything happening to my family, cancer, car accidents, tornadoes, and what not&#8230;my biggest fear in all the world is&#8230;are you ready? Wearing a swim suit. In public. I haven&#8217;t done it in nearly 10 years&#8230;2002 was probably the last time that much of my skin was exposed at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feliz Día de Las Madres</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I firmly believe that mothers are a child&#8217;s first teachers.  Well, both parents are, but in many ways much of it falls in the lap of the mom (argue with me if you want, but I&#8217;m not trying to start a fight here on gender roles or anything).  Anyways, up until January of this year, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Come Vacation&#8230;in Beautiful Wildwood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eh? Yeah, that&#8217;s kind of what I thought when the husband and I were doing a blind search of possible lakefront vacation spots in the mid-west&#8230; Check out this beauty: Wow. What luxury!(Turns out this baby isn&#8217;t on Lake Michigan, but the Mississippi river instead.) For a little background info, Wildwood is that lake neighborhood [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying not to call it Failure&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really wanted to post everyday in May. Really. But here it is not the end of the first week and already I skipped 2 days&#8230;if this was a diet I&#8217;d be thinking, &#8220;I&#8217;ve already screwed up, I might as well have another glass of wine&#8230; But if I learned anything from my latest experience [...]]]></description>

I can&#8217;t recall how I stumbled across blogger Amanda Del Buono&#8217;s website: MandaJuice &#8211; Blogging With the Safety Off, but I&#8217;m glad I did.

Things&#8230;they get busy around here.

		<title>Every Day in May</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you were getting tired of all the St. Patty&#8217;s green, you&#8217;ll be happy to see I finally put up a new header for Spring (I know you&#8217;re not supposed to capitalize seasons, but I feel they deserve the respect). I look forward to many more gorgeous days out at the Botanic Gardens like the [...]]]></description>
