Okay so I can't make it to 100 I felt like I was forcing it. I have been writing this list since July and I can only get this much But I think 85 is good too. Hoping to get all of this done.
Now going to share with my hubbie!
(ok so I tweaked it since and now we have 91)Have you ever thought of making a life list or inspiration list or bucket list? Of course it doesn't have to be 100 long it could be shorter see hereWhat would it look like? Would you share it with your significant otherI think it would be a great way to bond! What say you?!
