		<title>Sustaining Joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. ﻿ C.S. Lewis
Ever have one of those days when everything seems to fail, fall apart, or even fall away. Forget &#8220;days&#8221; I have had weeks, years, and even a decade of the such. And then suddenly it seemed [...]]]></description>

		<title>New toys and taste testing real food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day we visited the Children&#8217;s Orchard and picked up a few more toys. By far her favorite is the hippo!

We&#8217;ve also begun to experiment with giving her solid foods. At dinner time I just give her some olive oil or coconut oil to play and taste. Sometimes I&#8217;ll put some cooked pasta in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why I love my cloth diapers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I LOVE my cloth diapers. Oh let me count the ways:

They&#8217;re soft
They&#8217;re 100% natural; no chemicals are used to make them
They&#8217;re super easy to use
They&#8217;re inexpensive compared to disposables
They won&#8217;t be sitting in the dump in 500 years; although energy is used to wash them it&#8217;s a fraction of the energy needed to make disposables
They [...]]]></description>

		<title>Homemade Cleaning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One of my biggest hangups in being a new mom is that my house is never up to the &#8220;clean&#8221; standard I&#8217;d like it to be. I&#8217;m not talking about the pile of clean clothes sitting on the sofa waiting to be folded, the toys scattered around the various rooms, or even the unorganized pantry. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just another reason to love my butter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As I&#8217;ve become more aware of the list of ingredients on our food labels, I am learning how often corn and soybean oils saturate what is known as the Standard American Diet (SAD). It&#8217;s pretty shocking.
Vegetable oils are basically polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) that our bodies don&#8217;t know how to use. Instead, they add fat on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another reason it&#8217;s good to be Swiss (or Japanense, or Austrian, or Greek!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
So I&#8217;ve been digging around and researching about fats; the good, bad, and the simply disgusting. What I&#8217;m discovering is almost completely opposite from what I had thought. It turns out the basic animal and vegetable sources of  fats provide a concentrate source of energy in our diets. They also help slow down nutrient absorption [...]]]></description>
