	<description>Better to sit at the waters&#039; birth, than a sea of waves to win; To live in the love that floweth forth, Than the love that cometh in. Be thy heart a well of love, my child, Flowing, and free, and sure; For a cistern of love, though undefiled, keeps not the spirit pure.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[This morning I got to take my family to the Grand Opening of Hoag Hospital, Irvine for a special breakfast and tour of the beautifully refurbished facility. How did I gain access to such an elite event (ha ha!)? So glad you asked. Well, I shot one of the 100 photos named winners of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a weird week here in the Stankovits Household. Sid broke his ankle skateboarding last Tuesday. He&#8217;s been in a cast with the doctor&#8217;s orders to have his &#8220;toes above nose&#8221; since Thursday. I&#8217;m now 35 weeks pregnant, wow! This pregnancy has picked up some momentum. I&#8217;m so grateful that: #1 Sid didn&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just like every mother, ever, I derive great joy from my children&#8217;s art. Aveline is 6 and conveys such profound beauty through her drawings, and what is so wonderful to realize is that the beauty, the love, the imagination . . . is her. It comes straight from her singular, precious heart. In light of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Except we&#8217;ll probably use both for a boy or a girl! We have chosen not to have an ultrasound at all this pregnancy, unless I am advised by my midwife to do so, so I wanted to make a special blanket to welcome either a boy or a girl when the birth-day comes! I just [...]]]></description>

How could we gently move Junie to her own sleeping space to make room for the new, tiny one in our bed? And how could we do so while [...]]]></description>

It was a touching and funny ceremony and it was met with approval by the Bride, the Groom and both of their families. I&#8217;m so proud!! It was very special for me to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d had a rough morning, I was brutalized by a careless lab technician, left with a very swollen, tender and sore inside-of-left-elbow. I&#8217;d had my blood drawn to get to the bottom of a hematologic anomaly occuring in my circulation. I needed an afternoon at Santiago Oaks, one of the prettiest parks ever. Here are [...]]]></description>
