{More spring cleaning on the blog today, an old list I made for fun, of some life and homestead goals, things I wanted to learn and do. It’s outdated and I almost didn’t post it, but it was so fun to look back on. Some goals I no longer have and now there are many more I would add, but I like remembering where I was when I wrote this. By the way- I wasn’t able to format it, thus the gaps between lines in the list. Whenever I tried to delete the gaps, it would delete the pictures, so it is what it is.}

What are some of your goals? I’d love to hear.
I love this. When did you make this list? I think I will try something like this. Fun.
I started it before Bracken was born and then crossed things off a few years after that. 🙂 Yes, if you feel inspired- make one. It is really fun. 🙂
You have completed so much already 🙂 Wishing you all a blessed and joyful day at market!
I love this Taryn. Oh I wish I still had my lists to remember – maybe I will make a post on my blog like you have so I don’t lose it and can check back each year.
I share many of your same goals.
