Great list, Darcy!
51. wow, good for you!
Great list! Thanks for the reminder-I NEED to call my Grandmother.
Sheesh! Let me know how the list goes! Sounds like you’re going to be busy – in a productive kind of way. ;D
I just went over and read your article. LOVED it, girl you are so funny and you can tell you love your boys/life and homeschooling!
Great list! I intend to do most of those things and take pictures of them for my blog, too. (Nothing like multi-tasking!)
Except I can’t do #6 because both of my grandmas are now in Heaven where they wouldn’t appreciate being interrupted by phone calls from me.
And if I actually do #12 or #13 I will not be posting pictures of same.
Have a good one!
Hey, while I am too lazy to actually write down a list, my mental list looks a lot like yours.
If you come down and help me paint my boys room (Halo 3 is the theme they want- ugh!), I’ll help you.
I don’t have Francis!Francis! but I do have Saeco!Incanto!RapidSteam!
My 48. would read: Pay your library fines, and stop using your kids library cards.
That is a great list, so inspiring… I may just have to copy you!
That is a great list. I’ll have to try some of those, cause sadly, I don’t have a list.
This is a great list! I, too, may have to copy!
I loved your article..I wish I could home school!! Some of my kids want to, but some don’t! And, could you imagine….HS 7 kids?! Hmmmm, could be fun though.
great list!
Awesome list, I might be stealing some ideas off of it.
Hello Again…You have an Award over at my blog!!
Great list Darcy!
Loved reading this!
I love lists! Yours is grand. I especially like the verbs you used…laugh, dance, travel, cuddle. Gives me endless ideas! Thanks Darcy!
I like this list. You have given me some great ideas!
So creative! Did you make this over coffee?
I like #12 and #13 but I also like adding in a good book while I am there too!
