STORY OF MY LIFE

my days as a wife, mother, sister, & daughter

Okay, so I have remade my list of 101 Things that I want to do in 1001 days. I have a bunch of things from my original things made over a year ago, but over half of my original list I realized I just didn't want to do or wasn't very realistic.

I am backdating the start date of this to the beginning of the year since I knew that I wanted to revamp my list and I've already started on a few of the projects that I have listed. So here it is...my new list:
