		<title>Cataloging My Poetry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve pretty much retired from writing poetry. So the next thing for me to do is to properly catalog the work I have done. And I confess I have been very tardy about it. Just the other night I pulled out a stack of magazines my work has appeared in and scratched my head on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Double Shift with 2 Kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been posting much because I&#8217;ve been falling asleep a lot while nursing both kids to sleep. They both latch on and nurse till they sleep. Jade usually unlatches first and rolls over to her crib and then Jack rolls over to his side and sleeps too.
But when the nightwaking party begins, all bets [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tandem Waking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most recently, Jack and Jade have started waking up at night at the same time. Although they still take turns to wake multiple times &#8211; Jade twice to thrice and Jack anything from 3-6 times &#8211; it is usually only once a night when they wake in tandem. 
But last night, twice, I ran into [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jack Writes Spontaneously</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Both times he decided he wanted to write something, so last week he grabbed a marker and wrote. He asked me, &#8220;Mom, what is C O O L?&#8221; I said, &#8220;cool&#8221; and he showed me his writing. I was so thrilled I kept the napkin he wrote it on. It is now on the fridge.

		<title>A Cleaner World with Thermal Oxidizer Equipment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I live by the road. In fact, come to think of it, I&#8217;ve always lived by a road with a substantial amount of traffic and with it, a substantial amount of pollution. As a child, I lived by a main road, watching motorcycle riders race through the night and by day, count the number of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Death of a Titan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My 100 year old grandmother, fiesty as a whip in her day, succumbed to organ failure from advanced pancreatic cancer, and passed away peacefully on Friday with her family around her. 
Just one week ago she was lucid enough to recognise and smile at me but last Wednesday she was out of it, dazed from [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boba Review + Coupon!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first opened the box and lifted the carrier out I swore I smelt walnut. It was a wonderful earthy smell and I immediately thought of walking through a dense forest with the crackling of dried twigs underfoot. Indeed this carrier was 100% organic.
I always wash anything I buy before using it and the [...]]]></description>
