In Life.In.Lists. by Tami Potter

  Grocery Shopping Habits When Kevin and I were newlyweds we lived in a third floor apartment (with no elevator). The last thing we wanted to do was buy huge amounts of stuff that would have to be lugged up several flights of stairs. (The goal was to be able to carry everything up in one climb.)

  Childhood Memories: When I was in Kindergarten… 1. I attended a private kindergarten (at the same place I went to pre-school) because my mother worked.
