		<title>Parenting tips to prevent TVs and furniture from tipping over onto your child</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been told children are born with two fears: loud noises and falling. Objects falling on them, however, isn’t something they fear.

		<title>How foster care chose me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been asked many times why I chose to foster. My answer is simple. I didn’t. It chose me.
