		<title>Monday motherhood: Camp Mom is over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was going to write about how taking a vacation with your children isn’t really a vacation.  It’s a trip with your kids.  They still need stuff.  They still fight with each other.  You still have to feed them, and when they tell you they’re thirsty for the tenth time in a day, you wonder [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sunday cafe: get thee to a national park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to recent news reports, America’s unemployment rate isn’t going to be sinking anytime soon.  Just about everyone I know is finding it necessary to tighten their belts and look for cheaper ways to do everything, or simply do without.  Arianna Huffington wrote a terrific piece last Tuesday, suggesting that Americans might do well during [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Thursday out of the kitchen with Jo: let&#8217;s talk about sourdough</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here’s the deal.  I got out of town with the girls as a last hurrah before school starts next week.  We’re in San Francisco for a few days in a hotel without a kitchen (thankfully) so I can’t cook.  Whatever these children eat, it’s gotta come from someone else’s kitchen, and that includes those [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Tuesday take: does it have to be US vs. THEM?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’ve all heard complaints about the increasing political polarization of our country: Republicans vs. Democrats with Independents holding the deciding votes.  Glenn Beck vs. Keith Olbermann.  The Drudge Report vs. The Huffington Post.  Fox News vs. everybody else.  The common denominator?  Versus.  It’s us against them.  It’s a contest.  Who’s winning?  That all depends on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monday motherhood: my funny girls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like to sing.  I can’t remember a time when I didn’t.  Sometimes, I’ve felt good enough to warble in front of people, though nowadays those opportunities need not be seized.  When I was a kid, I listened to John Denver and sang “Rocky Mountain High” whenever I could.  But it was the women who [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekly wrap-up: Wyclef Jean, China&#8217;s death penalty, Chilean miners and a longer &#8220;Avatar&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Haitian born musician and former Fugees front man Wyclef Jean is not giving up on his desire to become Haiti’s president, even though he was considered ineligible to run because he hasn’t lived in the country over the past five years (lucky for him).  I was thinking this week how much Obama wanted to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thursdays in the kitchen with Jo: the all purpose berry crisp</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, I felt like a berry cobbler or an apple crisp.  Yesterday, I simply felt like the burdened mother of three children who can’t stop annoying each other.  The day before that, I was a flea catching dog owner.  My life is fascinating day after day, and purposeful. After Miss T’s first soccer practice was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where, oh where, did Wednesday go?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where’s Waldo?  Who cares? Where the hell are you? Where angels go, trouble follows.  (Just ask my kids.) Where is the love? Where did I put my keys?  My sunglasses?  My cell phone?  The scissors?  My watch?  The suitcase full of money?  My brain? Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.  (Don’t you know it.) Where are [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Tuesday take: embryonic stem cell research</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know.  It&#8217;s Wednesday.  Deal with it. There are areas of debate certain individuals should avoid, though they rarely do.  Ignorant people everywhere step lively into topical discussion they know almost nothing about.  Thankfully, many defer to experts and then often judges, to dissect a conundrum, hear opposing arguments, and then make a decision hopefully [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monday motherhood: roots and wings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Occasionally still, I get treacly emails from friends telling me how great I am simply because I&#8217;m someone&#8217;s mother.  I hate those emails.  I don&#8217;t even open and read them anymore, because the longer I am a mother, the more I realize this whole thing is a crapshoot.  While I may have the most important [...]]]></description>
