		<title>Vanishing Lebkuchen!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our beloved Aunt in Germany has stopped coming to South Africa for Christmas.  She prefers to soak up the Christmas cheer with her friends at the many Christmas Markets and then escape the wet weather of January through to April by soaking up the much-needed sun here in South Africa.  I can&#8217;t blame her!  However, we [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=302&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Left Behind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today is another World  AIDS Day.  A day to remember those who fought the disease and those who are still fighting it.  A day to bring about AIDS awareness in the hope that this virus can be stopped in its tracks.
Today I want to remember the children, particularly in the rural areas, who have lost their parents [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=295&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>His Name Is Luka And He Lives In a Salad Bowl!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the end of the year, and quite honestly I am tired of kiddies birthday parties!  My humblest apologies to all those who are born in the last few months of the year but my enthusiasm, and there was very little to begin with, has waned!
Eldest is still at the age where moms are required to attend [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=288&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Symbolic Handful Of Sand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was Christmas Eve, 2002 and we were sitting on the veranda of my father-in-laws home, wet from a late evening dip in the pool, trying to cool down from the heat of the KwaZulu-Natal summer.  We had nuts, marzipan and lebkuchen to snack on while the candles of advent were flickering in the fading light. I remember [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=276&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Can We &#8220;CTRL ALT DEL&#8221; August Please?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Helloooo!!!  Anybody still there??? 
Here on the East Coast we could not have asked for a better day to welcome Spring, there was a slight touch of the humidity that drains many of us of our energies in the summer months and for the first time in weeks we could sit outside under the setting sun [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=272&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Home James!  Or Is It Jane?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hubby, against my wishes, bought our Eldest son his first skateboard at the age of 3 years old.  He came into the house with the glow of a father who had just given the &#8216;ultimate&#8217; gift to his son.  I must admit that all the fancy toys I have bought, for their educational purposes, toys [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=267&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Recalling 25 Firsts.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have reached the middle point of the holiday break and still holding on to my sanity!  Don&#8217;t get me wrong I LOVE my kids, but my Eldest has the worst case of verbal diarrhoea, (an affliction he apparently inherited from me), and from the time he wakes up to the time he goes to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=264&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Party Panic &amp; The Pinata!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is one day in every year that my Eldest son yearns for, this excludes Christmas and Easter, and that is his birthday.  We constantly get asked how old he is and &#8220;Four Years Old&#8221; has never been good enough, he has always been 4 and a quarter, 4 and a half or 4 and three quarters as [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=261&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Soccer Mom, I Am!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am slowly coming to terms with an additional role to my already bulging portfolio of &#8220;Mom&#8221;, I have entered the realm of &#8220;frantically rushing from school to afternoon sport activities&#8221; and therefore &#8220;Soccer Mom,  I Am&#8221;.
I got a taste of it last term when I decided that extra effort had to be given to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=259&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Blog!
My dear friend it has been a full year since we became acquainted.  You have been there to hear my moans and groans, my rants and raves and waited patiently for me to visit you when for weeks I neglected you.  It&#8217;s not you, it&#8217;s me you understand?  I need to feel creative and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=natalian.wordpress.com&blog=3821041&post=256&subd=natalian&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
