		<title>Burda 9650 review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was looking for a few girls&#8217; patterns at Joann&#8217;s that would work well with voiles.  I stumbled across Burda 9650, and really liked a few of the pieces in the set.  I first wanted to try the ruffled tanktop. After reading through the directions, the pattern seemed straightforward enough.  It took very little time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Poppy Seed Wholegrain Waffles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When Matt was growing up, his Dad would make waffles just about every Sunday for the family.  He has such fond memories of it, and wanted to start the same tradition with our kids.  Even though our little girl isn&#8217;t due for another 6 weeks, and even though she won&#8217;t be eating solids for quite [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quick Pizza Crust &#8211; 100% whole wheat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night, at about 4pm, hubby says he&#8217;d love to have pizza for dinner.  At that point I&#8217;m wondering if we can have dough ready by a reasonable time, or if we need to stop by Trader Joe&#8217;s on the way home for a pre-made dough.  Its been a long while since I&#8217;ve made pizza [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t-cringe-when-I-call-them-wholesome Banana Nut Muffins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I hear something called &#8220;wholesome&#8221; it makes me think of flavorless cardboard with a side of glue.  The texture is never right, and the flavor always leaves you wanting a Twinkie. About 4 years ago, a close friend brought over some &#8220;wholesome&#8221; muffins that she had just baked.  Be still my heart. There were [...]]]></description>

		<title>lucky me!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since joining flickr (in an active way) about a year and a half ago, I&#8217;ve met some really GREAT people.   Really really generous and thoughtful people that share my hobbies.  People that understand your fabric buying neurosis, will entertain random discussions which print is better than another, where to get the best deal on [...]]]></description>

		<title>My favorite baby item</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m quite sure that these gDiapers are my favorite item for my baby-to-be!   Before I became pregnant I was not the least bit interested in cloth diapering, but the cost and waste associated with disposables really made me consider this option.  My sister and best friend both have experience with this brand, and at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Patience required.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I seem to have an inability to resist getting involved in Flickr swaps.  Is it the thrill of not knowing who my partner will be? Of seeing the amazing photos posted and crossing my fingers that it will end up at my house?  Or the fun of stalking my assigned partner, trying to guess what [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pulling my head out of the sand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think my blog reader says October was my last post.  Wow.  As in 2010. Shortly after that post we: found out we were expecting (yay! &#8211; its a girl due early Summer!), bring on extreme fatigue from above&#8230; then just after Thanksgiving went to China for two weeks &#8211; (not recommended for the pregnant!), [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lucky ME!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I&#8217;ve said before, I&#8217;m a real fan of these Flickr swaps.  There are just so many to choose from!  Here&#8217;s what showed up at my door just the other day &#8211; talk about a killer mail day!  :) I participated in a &#8220;gathered clutch swap&#8221;, and look how stinkin&#8217; cute the one that I [...]]]></description>
