		<title>Roadside find</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So I read stories all the time, in magazines and on blogs, about people finding these absolutely beautiful pieces of furniture &#8220;on the side of the road&#8221;. They&#8217;re usually an actual, genuine designer piece from the 1950&#8242;s or something, although occasionally the finder is unlucky enough to have only found a replica. I always read [...]]]></description>

		<title>More concrete thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we were doing the renovations to the Box, polished concrete floors weren&#8217;t that common (our builders had never done them before, and it took some research to find someone relatively local who could make it work). Most polished concrete floors are actually a thin layer of concrete poured over the existing floor (often with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ironing out the kinks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I really should have taken some &#8220;before&#8221; pics, just to show you how bad my old ironing board cover was. To give you an idea, my husband made fun of how &#8220;shiny&#8221; the fabric had become, and a friend asked if I had set it on fire. It was one of those things that you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It occurred to me recently that we use several terms here on the blog that we may not have explained very clearly. Like the Widg, the Box. Allow me to clarify. When we were pregnant with our little boy, before we knew he was going to be a boy, we wanted to be able to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Clothed for the winter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the weather here at the Box has been getting milder. There is still the odd cooler day where I need a cardigan, but overall, we are heading into t-shirt weather. I love the top of this kid&#8217;s head. The Widg has quite the little collection of jeans and winter pants, thanks to some thrifty [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apartment Therapy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apartment Therapy is always my first blog stop for looking at interiors, design, furniture and the like. It&#8217;s written by a whole bunch of bloggers across the US and the world, so there are several new posts everyday.  I think their &#8220;mission&#8221; states it quite well: &#8220;Helping people make their homes more beautiful, organized and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Made</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I would like to introduce you to a blog that I love &#8211; Made. Dana is a mother of 2, a blogger and a pretty awesome seamstress (especially in the eyes of a novice like myself). Her blog is easy to navigate, her writing style is easy-going and natural, and her photo&#8217;s are fantastic. She [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Fathers&#8217; Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just a quick one to say &#8220;Happy Fathers&#8217; Day&#8221; to all the dads, grandfathers and dads-to-be out there. Fathers&#8217; Day is a great opportunity to reflect on the many ways these men have provided for us, supported us, sacrificed for us and loved us. To the men who are our fathers and fathers-in-law, and to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Baby paraphernalia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been asked quite frequently lately what &#8220;stuff&#8221; we have found useful, essential, stupid and unnecessary with regards to all things kid-related. Granted, we have only been in this gig for 13 months, but there is a lot of &#8220;advice&#8221; out there about what you really &#8220;need&#8221; to buy or have for a baby. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Repurposing tea towels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the break in transmission folks, it&#8217;s been a little busy here at the Box lately. Nothing too exciting going on, just life in general. Birthdays and visitors and car repairs and all of us catching the cold and sharing it around. I have been doing a little bit of sewing (just more pants [...]]]></description>
