So my friend and Hip Homeschool Moms teammate, Darcy at Just a Night Owl has apparently started a trend with a few of us!  She did this post called 100 Things About Me.  It was such a fun way to learn things about her that a few of us have jumped on the bandwagon!

You can check out Wendy’s at Homeschooling Blessings and Trish’s at Live and Learn Farm.  They all said it was harder to do than you would think, but I could have gone past 100!  Not sure what that says about me, but then again I am not an analyzer by nature! 😉  So without further adieu, here is my own…..
