		<title>International Air Travel with a Toddler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently asked by someone who is about to do her first international flight with her 18mth-old for tips and since I&#8217;ve now made the roughly 19-hour trip alone with a lap child 5 times total, I figured I am qualified to blog about it.

		<title>pitiful = cute?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[i might be an awful person, but i&#8217;m SO entertained by the recent development in bijou&#8217;s personality: being frightened by things. up until recently, the only things that made her cry other than the fundamental needs were not being near us when she wanted to be or actually being in pain. but now she&#8217;s apparently [...]]]></description>
