I am always a fan of a good list, but when I stumbled on Design Darling’s list of 101 things to complete in the next 1,001 days I was hooked. The concept of 1,001 days (2.75 years) really intrigued me.

What was realistic in that amount of time?

To come up with the list I actually had to write down what age my family and I would be to help me visualize that far out. By the time this list completes Aaron and I will have been married for 7 year and together for 11. Adreena will be starting college, and I will be starting my 30s…🙈.
