    101 in 1001 (the ultimate to do list)

    August 18, 2015

    Hi friends! Since I started blogging I’ve been reading other people’s blogs like crazy. I really like to go back through older posts and read through them to see how they’ve gotten to where they are today. This helps me learn things to do to grow my own blog. I’ve found on a lot of people’s blogs from a long time ago a list – 101 things to do in 1001 days and I felt really inspired to do one myself. This actually took way longer than I would have though to write, I started it yesterday. So without further ado… here’s my 101 in 1001 list 🙂
