Oh my! That was a list! I can help you out with a few of those! The quilting and knitting and crocheting. If only you would have been interested when I tried to teach you many years ago!!! :) The shoes are darling! Great find! Congrats on the 100th post, that, alone, is a great accomplishment. I think I've done 3! Love you! Package coming!
Way to go! I've done a few of those things. Let me tell you laser hair removal isn't as painless as they claim!:) I feel like I should write down my own list now. Thanks for the inspiration!
Happy 100!! We are so alike! I loved your list! So much to look forward to! I laughed when I read your mom's comment because quilting and knitting are now on my list and my mother said the exact same thing to me!! And Sophie's shoes are soooo cute!
great list!! very inspiring. oh and do you know how much those pink converse make me want a girl??? haha. but it's okay...we got some black ones and some blue ones for our little max...but believe me, as soon as we have a girl - we're getting pink ones! sophie's gonna look so darling!
Fun list! We should all try to accomplish some of them with you (us girls). I share a lot of the same "must dos" in life. Inspiring.
wow I can't believe you thought of 100 things that would have taken me forever! your awesome.
I love the list!! It inspires me in so many ways. So, thanks for putting it up! And the shoes are adorable! Sophie is the best dressed baby I know!
I love this post! So cute! Good luck on that list with accomplishing EVERYTHING! I think it's great that you have done a list like that. It makes everyone want to be just like that and have hopes & wishes for the future even if they are completely out of reach whether it's just with money or simply because your children are too young for you to get out the way you should haha. Thanks for the next goal that I have in life...make a list of future things & goals I want to do in the next years of my life!
