		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I need to write a rant in response to a comment I often get when I attempt to contribute to a conversation about childbirth.  They say, &#8220;Jen, you were just made to have babies.&#8221;  It&#8217;s a kiss off though, not at all a compliment.  Sid gave me the best comeback last night, &#8220;Really, you <a href="http://www.blessmybirth.com/2012/01/11/my-rant/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday. Yesterday Junie and I went on a date. We both looked forward to it all day long, I love how I can feel pressure to make it fun and make a really cool memory with her (or any of them on these dates), but then when we get out on our own, it&#8217;s all <a href="http://www.blessmybirth.com/2011/10/26/yesterday/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote the following yesterday. Sid is getting ready to leave tomorrow for Japan for 10 days.  Well, one day heading out, one day heading home, so 8 days that we won&#8217;t see him, I guess.  Too long.  Traveling with my husband was once the great joy of my life.  Now hanging out at home with <a href="http://www.blessmybirth.com/2011/10/02/rambling/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The big kids and I have been going on solo dates the last three Mondays.  Even though we&#8217;re together 24/7, we are ALL together 24/7, so one on one time has to be planned out.  I just loved my dates!  It&#8217;s wonderful to connect with each child without the influence of the others around, and <a href="http://www.blessmybirth.com/2011/08/12/dates-with-the-big-kids/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every week we have some friends come over and play. Us moms organize some type of craft or activity to do while we&#8217;re together and this last week we decided to make a strand of Tibetan prayer flags in prayer for the people suffering in Japan. I had a Tibetan Prayer Flag Pack, which I <a href="http://www.blessmybirth.com/2011/03/20/prayer-for-japan/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By Orange County standards, we live in a very wild area. Many an unsuspecting visitor has been yucked out by the kinds, and sizes especially, of insects we get &#8217;round these parts. And we had the pleasure of &#8220;choking&#8221; a visitor away with threats of poison oak, which we now know to be stinging nettles. <a href="http://www.blessmybirth.com/2011/03/07/a-sign/"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>
