  5. We have quite a bit in common as well. I am definitely a country girl! I hate the city. And I'm jealous of the library, I want a big library room so bad!

  6. I used to love horror movies as well - I can barely get through the previews anymore!!! What's that about?!?! Hmm....maybe it's that I want my baby to grow up in a nice, happy world - or maybe it's that I had so many weird nightmares during pregnancy...not sure!

    1. I think it is because I always picture my kids and I get so emotional. It is very weird. I even had to stop watching Law & Order SVU because anytime I see kids I envision my own.

  7. Very nice idea, Kristen. I think I may write my own list.
    I feel like I know you now even more than many of my friends.
    We have many things in common but I was disappointed to know that you have a library full of books and you don't have time to read. You should always make some reading time, for you and for your children. You have two kids and reading books with them maybe at bedtime will be amazing and will make very nice memories for you and for them. I'm sure you are super busy with two kids but please try to make some time. You'll thank me later.

    1. I do make time to read to my children. I actually just created the 30 Day Read-To-Your-Child Challenge. It is going great and my 2 year old brings me books all the time now. http://www.babygiveawaysgalore.com/2013/01/30-day-read-to-your-child-challenge.html
