		<title>a grumpy observation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m prone to these, so please be patient.
Lawn care people. Why do they want to talk to me? They ring my doorbell, inevitably just after Smiley has fallen asleep. The dog goes crazy, the baby wakes up, and I&#8217;m hopping mad. Here&#8217;s what I don&#8217;t get&#8211;my yard clearly looks like crap by their standards. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Introductions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It all started at kindergarten round-up. Tulip was too nervous to enjoy herself as much as we had hoped, but Smiley was in his element. The round-up was, of course, geared toward the rising kindergarten student, so Tulip was given a passport with pages for each of the areas she was supposed to explore. She [...]]]></description>

		<title>It finally happened</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The main reason I considered homeschooling Tulip next fall had nothing to do with academics and everything to do with the way little girls treat one another. I wanted her to be older when she learned that some kids revel in excluding other children just because they can, but it turns out she experienced it [...]]]></description>

		<title>It ain&#8217;t easy being two.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My baby turned two last week, and what a week it was! We had a very small party the Saturday before his birthday, and his two out-of-state aunts flew in for the festivities. One didn&#8217;t quite make it in time for the party, but she made it nonetheless, and we were thrilled to see her. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday at the Library: Troll&#8217;s Search for Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Nicolas van Pallandt&#8217;s book, first published in the Netherlands, is a repeat library check-out for our family. We really enjoy its collection of odd creatures, not to mention Troll&#8217;s adventure. Blown away from his snug home in the dead of winter, Troll decides that because his home is so small and winter so large, he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making time for pancakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had such a nice day today. It was beautiful, sunny, and a pleasant temperature that isn&#8217;t cold but still makes me appreciate a sweater. My response to the sun and blue sky was enough to make me wonder if I have a bit of seasonal affective disorder. Maybe not, but I felt like my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wednesday at the Library: Why? by Lindsay Camp and Tony Ross</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our favorite library book of the week is Why? by Lindsay Camp and Tony Ross. Not only does this story feature a little girl saving the world armed only with her curiosity, but it&#8217;s also a great reminder for parents of the value of a child-like quest for knowledge. Rather than getting grumpy when asked [...]]]></description>

		<title>Letter Magnet Craft</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re decorating our playroom, and one of the little projects for the daddy is the creation of the magnetic board. He found a big sheet of dry erase board and some molding to frame the board with. Since Smiley is too young to understand why it&#8217;s okay to write on this one wall hanging with [...]]]></description>
