Let's Do it Again: 101 in 1001 (July 4, 2017 - March 31, 2020)
I am SO EXCITED to finally start this list. I was coming up with ideas back in November as a way to avoid homework, then I took forever to finish it after my last list was done. But these past few weeks I've really been itching to start, so I buckled down and finished it!
I wanted to break my list into different categories so I could make it more well-rounded. I like doing
fun stuff, but I wanted to make sure I was setting some personal goals in as well. While some items are from my last list that I never got to do, the majority of them are things that I've been inspired to do through many different channels. I've looked at friend's lists, as well as a few I've found on Pinterest. I've seen other people do things on social media that looked super fun, and I wanted to try them too. I've thought about what sort of skills I want to gain, what type of mother and wife I want to be, and what I can do to improve talents that I already have. When I hit 101, I felt really pleased with everything on my list
As I said before, I'm super excited to start. My main goal is to get at least 35 completed. I feel like I can do more, but I want to be realistic - especially with how my life went during the last list - and still feel accomplished if I only do a little better than before.
If you see anything that you would be interested in doing with me, definitely let me know! Having friends and family join me makes accomplishing tasks easier. Any encouragement along the way helps too :)
Here's to another 1001 days!

I like this list! Especially the part about taking care of your stuff at my house😉. Sounds like you are going to make good things happen.
ReplyDeleteEmily! This is so fun! This is making me want to do my own list! Maybe I will steal your idea...
ReplyDeleteAlso. "Figure out the deal with curtains" and "Discover how to make my natural hair look good enough for a public appearance"... you are crackin me up. Not sure if this is what you meant by the hair thing but I can teach you how to curl your hair if you want!!
