That is a great list! I love a lot of them, especially the staying in bed all day 🙂 I wonder if my 3 kids will let me do that :p

That's quite a list!! Did you read all the books you wanted to? I'm a huge readers, so I'm definitely going to check them out. And, if you haven't already read "Heart of the Matter" you can totally borrow mine!
