A few weeks back I came across this post from Andrea from For The Love Of on creating a Life List. A life list is basically a reworked term for a Bucket List (Goals you have listed to accomplish through out your life). It was fun to read what goals she had listed, which then inspired me to create a list of goals for myself. I am usually bad at actually following through with things/goals I make for myself. Probably out of fear that I might fail at what it was I set out to do, I guess we can't be perfect at everything.
So I thought I would share the list I have made for myself, along with goals made to accomplish as a family.
I made a cute little "Life List Pocket Book" to write down all my goals in. That way I have it on hand when ever I have the urge to check something off the list or if I come up with another goal I can add it to the ever growing list.

Thanks Kendra. I have been meaning to make a list for a while, and when I sat down to write it up I thought I would be more fun to put it all down in a book to carry around.

What a cool idea, Heidi! I've totally started something like this before but I end up always changing up my books that I lose track of my goals. Bummer. Love this idea, would love to follow through on it...
