My 200th Post!!

Wow! My 200th post! My 100th post was March 4, 2009. It's taken me over 2 years to get to this point. I don't really have a goal when it comes to blogging. I just blog whenever the mood hits. I read LOTS of blogs and I have come to realize I will never have a huge following, I will never write a cookbook, or a novel, or a decorating/organizing book, or have my love story published. But that is okay! I write mainly to remember and to brag on my kids. One day they will look back and realize how important they are! So without further ado......here are 100 more things about little. old. me.
