		<title>New chapter, new location</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I start a new chapter in life, it seems only fitting to change up my blog as well. You can now find me at LoriBailey.com. That was one of my Christmas presents from Brian &#8211; my very own domain   So, grab the feed and then head on over to check out my [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=140&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Busted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on the treadmill this morning, grooving to some high-energy tunes from my workout playlist. MmmBop (yes that one, by Hanson) comes on. Brian runs to the doorway, a look of great alarm on his face, &#8220;We own this song?!!&#8221;  &#8220;Yeah, it&#8217;s happy.&#8221; My spousal approval ratings plunge.

		<title>Talked Out</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We just finished up our Creative Church Conference last Friday, which is pretty much the Super Bowl of my working year. It&#8217;s such a privilege to be able to interact with the thousands of church leaders who attend—my favorite part of my job. Every year it seems like I come away with one major realization [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=138&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>January</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whew, it&#8217;s a little dusty around here! Our new blogging baby has been taking up lots of my time lately and I&#8217;m having such fun with it. Reading and writing about children&#8217;s literature is pure joy for me.
Other than that, we&#8217;ve enjoyed a January that doesn&#8217;t feel like it disappeared before we could blink (I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=137&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Tonight</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Enjoying warm gingerbread and fresh whipped cream while watching the Iowa caucus together. Obama and Huckabee emerging as winners. Seems that nice guys do finish first &#8211; at least in Iowa. Of course, Ben thinks it&#8217;s because they both have 3-syllable last names &#8211; much better for victory chants.
I do believe the caucus has generated [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=136&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>On the other side</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Christmas tree is gone and many of the decorations are put away, but I&#8217;m still savoring this sweet holiday that we spent together: attending a truly incredible Christmas service as a family; cozy moments curled up on the couch doing things like watching It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life, Scrooged, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, and Elf; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=134&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>December</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not Recommended

Trying to sing along with Alvin and the Chipmunks&#8217; Christmas song as you&#8217;re driving down the road. An adult&#8217;s voice really shouldn&#8217;t go there.
Setting unrealistic goals, like, say, having all the Christmas shopping done and all the Christmas cards ready to send out by December 1. (It sounded reasonable in October.) Instead, I&#8217;m hoping [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=133&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Thinking and thankful</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Such a geek for learning &#8211; shameless really. I&#8217;m watching a documentary about the history of Thanksgiving on right now as I cruise around on my laptop. But they said something that caught my attention. Between the time it was declared a national holiday by Lincoln in 1863 and the early 20th century, the work [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=132&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Scenes of the Crime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The scene: Kroger, Friday evening, dairy, snack and beverages aisles. John Denver&#8217;s, Take Me Home, Country Roads breezes through the store&#8217;s sound system, and individuals from all over the demographic spectrum can be found, not just humming, but singing the lyrics&#8230;including me. I stop myself, embarrassed, yet amused at the John Denver Gene planted deep [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=131&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Nifty Gifties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been inspired by the gift guides on Mighty Goods lately, and then the challenge of The Holiday Shopping Carnival gave me just the incentive I needed to throw a couple of ideas out there. These are some things that we&#8217;ve given or enjoyed as gifts. (Disclaimer&#8230;my husband is a world-class gift giver. None of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=loribailey.wordpress.com&blog=476000&post=130&subd=loribailey&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
