Annie, thanks so much for doing this! I enjoyed reading this. I identify with most of your dos and don'ts, especially not having enough time in the day to read, write and create. Also about a woman's own strength: "I do lean on him for strength, but I don't need to." Thank you!
I love this list, Annie! I'm right there with you re: Mexican food (though I'm not inclined, despite bulging midsection, to stop!). Also, your words about measuring success as a parent resonate with me--I'm a big believer in that mindset, as well, and I just ache when I see parents use their children to fulfill that need!
Thank you for sharing all of these wonderful tidbits about yourself. I love this meme! xo
what a great list - and i'm with you on the fruit and the politician issues!
Sx
I'm with ya on the fruit and laughing ones.
