Just curious ... did you make this list BEFORE or AFTER you found out you were having a second child? ;) I greatly admire your ambition. I may be forced to write down a list too! Right now I'm too busy keeping up with my day-to-day lists ... not sure how I'd do with a 101 in 1001 list.

It's funny how many of these things just happen on their own. But I did write this before I get pregnant. It's almost three years of your life. I'm sure you can come up with 101 things to do in three years. ;)
