		<description><![CDATA[I have had many a sleepless night this past week. I have had a lot on my mind and I am a thinker. When my brain gets going I often have a hard time shutting it down. I plot, plan, and organize. It is dangerous for me to get over-stimulated before bed. I have to especially monitor my time on the computer, iPhone, and TV prior to hitting the hay or I can be doomed and liable to be up&#8230; <a href="http://mommyadventures.blogs.petaluma360.com/11058/35-and-tacky/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am three weeks until my due date and Friday I went into see my doctor for my now weekly OB check-up. He asked me when this baby was coming. I laughed and said, “I don’t know Doc. You tell me”. In the past week, I’ve progressed from 0 to 1 cm dilated, which for those of you who know, I could be hanging at for the remaining weeks or I could just have her tomorrow. That’s the great thing&#8230; <a href="http://mommyadventures.blogs.petaluma360.com/11050/place-your-bets/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was December 31, 2011 and to end the year I did something risky. I asked my husband how he thought I could improve in 2012. Being the smart and cautious guy he is, he was hesitant to respond right away. He said he didn’t want to answer because he was afraid of “pissing me off”. I told him not to worry and that I probably already thought about what he would say. I promised that I would not get&#8230; <a href="http://mommyadventures.blogs.petaluma360.com/11039/seeking-sainthood-in-2012/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This year we are not having a traditional Christmas. We haven&#8217;t gone down to my mother&#8217;s in southern California, we don’t have a tree, we don&#8217;t have lights on the house, and we aren&#8217;t opening presents in the morning. However, I have really enjoyed saying “Merry Christmas” to people over the past few days. I have enjoyed the things that Christmas traditionally brings during this season. We&#8217;ve gone looking at Christmas lights with the kids. I&#8217;ve sat on “Santa’s” lap.&#8230; <a href="http://mommyadventures.blogs.petaluma360.com/10997/holiday-card-2011/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel like one of my daughters when I say, “Tonight was the best night ever!” But it pretty much was. I have spent the last few hours laughing, talking with some great people at a couple different holiday parties, and spending some quality one-on-one time with Santa. The fun started a few weeks back when my otherwise reserved, laid-back, almost too-serious-at-times, husband decided he would show support to one of his realtors by dressing up as Santa at her&#8230; <a href="http://mommyadventures.blogs.petaluma360.com/10989/my-night-with-santa/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What others have pointed out to me over the past few weeks as I have struggled with questions on how to bring up my Jewish children during Christmastime is how important it is to create customs and traditions that are our own. We may celebrate Hanukkah but we also celebrate things that are unique to Christmas too and that is okay. For the past few years we have enjoyed putting the kids in pajamas and driving around to look at&#8230; <a href="http://mommyadventures.blogs.petaluma360.com/10976/holiday-crazy/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s December and it is taking me awhile to warm up to the idea of the holidays. I really want to find the joy in this season but this year I am having a hard time. There are things I am looking forward to like a scattering of holiday parties and giving gifts to my children. But mostly, I’m looking forward to January. So there it is, I am just not a fan of the holidays this year. I feel&#8230; <a href="http://mommyadventures.blogs.petaluma360.com/10969/shelving-elves/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is Thanksgiving week and all I can think about is Christmas. It is really hard not to when for weeks now the stores have been aglow with holiday lights, red and green wrapping, and all the bells and whistles that come with the predominant December holiday. My inbox is full of emails from retailers giddy with Black Friday promotions. And while most everyone I know is busy planning their turkey dinners, I can’t stop obsessing about Christmas.

		<description><![CDATA[My dad called me the other day and said, “I heard you did something stupid?” I thought for a minute as to which “stupid thing” he could be referring to, but my mind just couldn’t settle down on one. “What was that Dad?” I asked. He responded by telling me that my mom had told him that I single-handedly switched the guest room and the baby’s room. Yeah, that was pretty stupid, moving large furniture while 7-months pregnant.

		<description><![CDATA[I try not to take anything for granted. Admittedly I often do, but when it comes to accomplishing even the smallest of tasks together with my children, I feel like a million bucks. Sometimes in the moment, when I am out in public with all three trying to tackle a task like making it through the grocery store without incident, I don’t always get that carefree million-dollar feeling. In fact, I am often wrought with panic as I think to&#8230; <a href="http://mommyadventures.blogs.petaluma360.com/10941/thank-you-october/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>
