		<title>City of Rocks Stole My Heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Okay, City of Rocks wasn&#8217;t quite the spot that takes my breath away and although I&#8217;m told it&#8217;s the place for star-gazing it was too cloudy to see the most stars I&#8217;ve ever seen (both on my list), but it was so gorgeous we will most definitely be making our way back in the future [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye Phoenix, Hello Nowhere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Bench Monday &#8211; Boondocking
If anyone placed their money on &#8220;the toilet&#8221; breaking next, you won!
We had hopes of hitting Tucson early enough to meet some local unschoolers. But a smelly leaking toilet doesn&#8217;t let you get far. Instead we spent the morning sniffing sewage and laughing hysterically as one thing after another happened. (A sopping [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Good, The Bad and The Funny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I have no idea how to start this post, other than to say it&#8217;s all catching up to me. I&#8217;ve been tired and sluggish since we arrived and am so thankful we&#8217;re staying with friends while we all acclimate. No plans, no sightseeing; just hanging out. It&#8217;s a nice way to ease ourselves into things. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Leaving Las Vegas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The RV is packed and waiting, we&#8217;ve said our goodbyes and Justin is waiting for me to get off the computer.   What felt like an eternity away just six months ago is here and now it&#8217;s our time to finally go.

		<title>Our Life Learners</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is family. And then there are friends who feel like family. And while nothing can replace family, nothing can compare to such good friends. Such good friends, in fact, it takes a full four times to say goodbye.
Saying goodbye to the Life Learners just plain sucked. We&#8217;ve been with our local unschooling group for [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Goodbye Party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Another big round of goodbyes yesterday. My mom threw us a Bon Voyage party and it was wonderful to spend the day with family and friends (especially when the Life Learners hang out late, as we always do).
There were so many hiccups in the plans, it began to feel as if it simply weren&#8217;t going [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vegged Out With The Janssens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Friday was a grand, grand day. That&#8217;s because it marked the 11th hour completion of Benny&#8217;s straight veggie oil conversion! Our greened-out RV now runs on waste vegetable oil, available for free from neighborhood restaurants and we couldn&#8217;t be more ecstatic.  
Justin has been working with Matt Janssen on the conversion, learning tons and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bittersweet Thursday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We said our first round of goodbyes today.
One of my closest friends is also the mom of one of Zeb&#8217;s closest friends and when we went to pick Zeb up from their sleepover, we did our best to say goodbye to Elizabeth before she heads out of town tomorrow. She was one of the first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Needs vs Wants vs Reality</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, in the middle of my post-meltdown stupor, I received my Compassionate Parenting Tips email. It asked me this:
When your needs are met it is easier to meet your child&#8217;s needs, too. What needs &#8211; yours and your child&#8217;s &#8211; aren&#8217;t currently being met as well as you would like?
It then went on to suggest [...]]]></description>
