101 in 1001

Posted on the 01 January 2013 by Kcsaling009 @kcsaling

Mackenzie over at {design darling} can add another person to the list of folks she’s inspired to make their 101 in 1001 lists – or 101 things I’d like to do in the next 1001 days {or 2.75 years}. Instead of just making another set of New Year’s resolutions, I’m adding my list of 101 things. Coming up with this list has definitely not been easy, but after lots of serious thought about things I’d like to get accomplished over the next three years, I’ve come up with this list:
