I have been thinking of all these things in my head for sometime now. This post gets all my thoughts & ideas down on paper! Hopefully, since I am sharing my list w/ you, I'll feel more accountable to attain it! My list consists of things that need to be done throughout the whole year some quick & easy others will take more time.
I am looking forward to being more intentional in 2013 with my actions. Read along with me as I mark items off my list!

ReplyDeleteThese are great Julie! I just might make a list too. But I only have 3 months! Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteLove this post!! I need to learn how to pressure can and I know a group of gals who would love to ring a bell with you. Do you have a family binder? This would be a fun page to put in it!
