My 101

Hey! I was doing some blog reading stalking, and I came across one of my favorites, Design Darling. Mackenzie has this amazing list of 101 things she wants to do in 1001 days. I kind of fell in love with the idea. I write in a journal and track things and have goals, but I think this is a perfect way to do it. Its time bound and completely fun. As she stated, it is kind of a cross between a "to do" list and a bucket list. I stole some of her 101 ideas because they are also things that I love. I think many of us blogger girls have very similar tastes/ideas. So here they are, you should check out her blog, she's kind of amazing.
