Good point, Melanie. I’m not sure I would want to know, although it would certainly be interesting and helpful.

Thank you, Sarah. And that’s nice to hear, although I feel like you are already intentional about a lot!

Hey Melissa, thanks. That sounds like a great childhood, and obviously your parent’s hard work and sacrifices paid off! I know that I didn’t always appreciate all that my parents did as a child, but now I certainly do, and these sort of things are much easier as a lifestyle when it’s what we grew up with.

Thanks, Laureen, and that sounds like a great way to grow up!

Thank you, Sondi. I agree, it’s better to just be honest about our priorities than make excuses for not doing things.

Good point, Vickie, it really is a lot of time, and I know that in many ways our life would be easier if we didn’t do all these things. I look forward to the days when life is a bit less busy, although knowing me I will just add more things to do!

Thanks, Laureen. I loved Cooked, and that quote seems totally true!
