		<title>10 on 10 &#8211; August</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pretty impressed that I have not missed a 10 on 10 since I started.  We had a quick and unexpected visit from my friend and step-monster, Carrie (AKA: Nonna). She is always fun to be around and has a great attitude that rubs off on me and helps keep me positive. I wish we lived closer! The kids and I had to finish up some back-to-school shopping, so Nonna wondered the outlet mall (she&#8217;s a pro) while we finished up. Laid back, fun day. Plenty of beauty in our ...]]></description>

		<title>10 on 10 – July</title>
		<description><![CDATA[July 10 on 10 was a practically kid free Saturday. Which almost never happens. Very lazy. Jack and Emily have gone on a road trip with Emily&#8217;s Granny. We needed a sitter for Jack for a couple of days while we go to Denver for work and Granny took him on for a whole week. We&#8217;re pretty lucky. I&#8217;ve never been away from him for more than five days - I already miss him. Noah is trying to book himself up to avoid being home without his siblings. Kinda cute.

		<title>10 on 10 &#8211; June</title>
		<description><![CDATA[June 10 on 10 was supposed to happen on a road trip to meet our friends in Dallas to watch Bingham. Instead it was a day around the house. Figures. I think I still pulled it out. Emily&#8217;s at camp and the boys hung out with me all day. I&#8217;ve been enjoying spending my summer with the kids. Lot&#8217;s of reading and learning going on . . . and playing.

		<title>My Ambivalent Affair with Lists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Little scraps of paper hold me together. Each piece soaked in a homemade solution of effort mixed with anxiety and then layered one strip at a time over the clutter, chaos, and disarray; Clair salmagundi. These pieces of paper are lists. Ordinary registers of tasks or goals scrawled on every kind of paper that followed me through the stages of my life; from Holly Hobby notebooks to my standard yellow notepad. . If I were to crawl inside each memory and poke around a little, I would find at least ...]]></description>

		<title>13 Tips to Improve Your Interviewing Ears</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People tell me the strangest things. My husband is frequently amazed by the stories I recount from random people I cross paths with throughout my day; everyone from crossing guards to grocery clerks tell me stories that should be saved up for professional counseling or maybe even the cops. For most of my life I assumed I had a sort of weirdness magnet and in a way I do, but mostly what I do is listen and ask. Every person has a crazy story and even boring people have an ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How is it already time for May&#8217;s 10 on 10? Yesterday was Mother&#8217;s Day and all my chores waited for me until today.  Another non eventful 10 on 10, but still fun as usual.

		<title>10 on 10 &#8211; April</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time for my April 10 on 10.  It was a boring Saturday of chores around the house, but we did end up with an unexpected babysitter and grabbed dinner in Gruene. Ordinary day &#8211; that&#8217;s the point, right?

		<title>Background Noise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My advice for anyone with a camera . . .
Eliminate the background noise
 
You can solve the problem of photography background noise in two easy steps:
#1 &#8211; Pay Attention To Detail.
#2 &#8211; Move Yourself.
I&#8217;m a voyeur. Looking at pictures is one of my favorite things to do and I don&#8217;t even have to know the people in them. Sometimes I spend hours hopping from site to site looking at photos that catch my eye. Most of the photos I&#8217;m intrigued by are ordinary snapshots from everyday life. But, I also have ...]]></description>
