Wow!! Such a great list.... and I too am thankful for so many of these things!
Wow, I've been wanting to start mine - I have - but I can't do it like you - and you have a head start of 1591!
Intimidating.
And your artistic flair - with the traveling chalkboard? Wow.
And your husband sharing - fist bump for the man. That's a husband!
Maybe I'll get Laska the love kitty to do it with me? Strength in numbers.
I love the chalkboard idea! Super creative!! Amen to naps!! What would I do without them :O) Thanks again for your incredibly kind comment on my blog. I appreciate you taking the time to share that with me :O)
