34 Things | Kelly Sroka

Earlier this week I shared numbers 2 through 7 in my list of 34 things I want my daughter to know about me. I’m so glad to hear that you all are enjoying this series and feel inspired to join in.

To help get you going on your own list, I wanted to share another example list. This one is from team member Kelly Sroka.

5. I always wanted to be a teacher.
6. My cousins and I used to put pillowcases on our heads and pretend we had very long hair.
7. My first telephone number was 273-6248. The area code changed from 919 to 910 to 336 (which it is now).
