101 in 1001








Last week, I stumbled across Mackenzie Horan's blog, Design Darling, and found a list she created
called 101 Things in 1001 Days. I think this a brilliant idea since I love setting goals and making resolutions. This list is more of a bucket list/to-do list, so I'm all for it! Instead of a year to accomplish everything, it's spanned over 2.75 years. Inspired by this,  I decided to create my own list. Some of them are fun and spontaneous, and others are more serious and personal. So let's get started!
