One thing is for sure though… I’ve been catching up on some reading; or more specifically, I’ve been reading some great posts from some of the other bloggers I follow. So in this month’s “Links I Love”, I’m going to share with you some of the posts that I’ve bookmarked to read again later.

End of the Year Update of my “101 Things” Challenge

As 2017 comes to a close, I’ve been reflecting on a 1001 day challenge that I started back in the Spring of 2016. On April 24, 2016, I published a post titled “101 Things to do in 1001 Days” and compiled a list of what I thought would be relatively achievable things I could accomplish in 1001 days.

First was Kate from Kate […]
