101 in 1001

Mackenzie over at Design Darling posted her list of 101 Things in 1001 Days today. Since I’ve been looking for some blogging motivation lately, I decided to do one of my own. Not gonna lie, it was TOUGH to come up with 101 things! Once I got through all 101, though, I started spewing ideas – {eyeroll} Figures…  I had to go back and decide what to keep, get rid of, and add in. It took a while! So on that note, Thanks for the motivation Mackenzie! It was exactly what I needed for my blog on a blah Wednesday!
