		<title>Easter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Easter is coming. 
I love Easter.
The time with family.  The candy.  The oh-so-delicious-melt-in-your-mouth cookies that mom gets me every year.  The Easter basket.  The day off for Good Friday.  Easter is awesome.
The best part of Easter though? 
Jesus. 
It&#8217;s all about Jesus.

		<description><![CDATA[
Aaahhhh!!!  Almost everyday I think about how my little baby is becoming a sweet little boy.  I can&#8217;t believe in less then three months he will be two years old.  Where does the time go?

		<title>Bridal Showers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bridal Showers&#8230;they can be expensive to host on your own&#8230;and a lot of work.  They can also be simple and understated.  No one has ever accused me of that though. 
Recently I have been finding all kinds of party blogs that are so inspiring but are really humbling.  These ladies are incredible at what they do.  So this year [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Problem and a Secret</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a problem. 
A big problem. 
I have a little bit of an obsession. 
Brace yourselves.
I am in love with my Google reader. 
Why in the world did it take me so stinking long to set it up?  Why did I wait so long to dive into the online community of bloggers who are oh-SO-talented?!  I feel inspired.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Invitations &#8211; Things to think about when doing invitations for a party.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So what kind of invites do you want to send out?  It really depends on the feel of the party.  I&#8217;m always a big fan of using e-vite (being green!), but I do have to say, there is something about receiving an invitation in person or in the mail that is always a joy.
There is so [...]]]></description>

Making a guest list is always a dilema for me.  I am a naturally outgoing person and enjoy having people over.  I like to invite anyone and everyone to parties, but believe me, that can be an expensive habit. [...]]]></description>
