Blogging, Commence

Hola!

As 2014 comes to a close, I wanted to figure out some New Year's Resolutions. I was having a pretty difficult time making a list that had any sort of substance to it (i.e: eat healthier, floss, read, you catch my drift.) I thought coming up with a bucket list might be more fun, productive, and ambitious than some resolutions..

Feeling inspired by Design Darling's 101 in 1001, I came up with a 60 in 365: 60 things I'd love to accomplish in 2015. One of my goals is to create a blog so I thought this would be the perfect starting point to my 60 in 365.

Here's my (slightly ambitious) list! I'll update this list as I go & date when I complete certain goals.
