Happy New Year everyone! I hope your 2016 is off to an amazing start so far. As always, with a new year comes new goals. This year instead of doing new year’s resolutions (which I’m not a huge fan of anyway) I decided to switch things up and join
Day Zero Project. Instead of having resolutions, I’ve made a list of my 101 things I want to complete in the next 1001 days. Some of these are big things (read 100 books and volunteer for 100 hours) others are small but things I’ve always wanted to do (make salsa and send a postcard to Post Secret). So below I’ve copied my list and you can follow me along here on the blog and on my
