  2. Great list! I loved getting to know more about you. 

    I love quesadillas too!!  Can’t believe I forgot them in my 100 things.

    You are an inspiration to me with your many lists.  I love seeing all of your “to-do’s” crossed out.  How do you cross items out here?  I can’t figure that one out.

    You sound like a really fun mom.  I too keep forgetting you aren’t a SAHM. Your kids are blessed

    I love entryway signs too!  Just one of those things not everyone is into

    Cranium looks like fun, sounds like my kind of game

    Books books books! I want to join a book club.  What is the online book club you are in, if you don’t mind sharing? I’d love to find a good one…

    I’m a procrastinator too.  Am working on it 🙂

    84 fits me too.  Reminds me, I need to send a note to my MIL since she lifted my spirits on the phone yesterday

    Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your list.
