This is the list that never ends...

Hiya!

Today I thought I would share something other than a recipe! I thought I could share with you my never-ending list of things that need to be done and things I would like redone.

Since we sold our second property, we wanted to focus on using some of the extra money for our current home on some updates, makeovers and renovations.

I'm totally a to do list person...I probably have 10 different ones posted around our house, but they are great reminders and keep me focused!
