101 in 1001

Happy Wednesday Babes!

I’m actually oddly excited about this post. I have been building this list for awhile, so I’m pumped to finally share it with you all. I first heard about this list a few years ago, when a couple of other bloggers were building them, but completely forgot about them until my friend showed me hers recently. She had just finished it, and we were going through her list seeing everything she was able to cross off and it inspired me to make my own!

For those of you who have never heard of this list, it’s basically 101 things that I want to complete in 1001 days. Which is about three years! Like mine, your list can be filled with things as simple as finding a new dentist, to traveling to Europe! I set my goals into different categories because believe it or not, it’s hard to come up with 101 Things!

By the time my 1001 days are up, I will have just turned 29, which is crazy to think about.

I’ll be adding this to the top of my page and will continue to cross things off on here as a way to hold me accountable!
