This list does not mean that the rest of the day I sit around and do nothing (wouldn’t that be nice?) Finishing one task from this list is in addition to the gardening (weeding, watering, harvesting, pruning, spraying), preparing meals, cleaning, spending time with the kids, running regular errands, visiting family, going to classes, and working on the computer that I do. My dream is to do all this and still sneak in time to read from the Good Book and to knit something special for our little one-to-be.

So, let’s do this thing!
