I am off to camp but I will catch up with ya when i am back. Love road trips. Even day trips. Saw a black bear on Friday somewhere between greer and Morenci. I am not sure what my blog web address is so if you do not have it let me know and i will figure it out.
I just would say try fly lady on the routine stuff and just adjust for you and yours.
I have lots of the same goals. I just finished the BOM and plan to read it again this next year. I think you have some wonderful plans. Max and I have a blog I started about two years ago. He is hoping to get more followers.
wow! these seem like ambitious goals!
I can tell you that buttonholes are surprisingly easy... and I have a recipe for Royal icing if you need it. You should participate in Book club - that would take care of one book per month. I don't know much about it, but my SIL blogs and has an etsy shop, both of which are pretty successful... and she says something about flicker groups have really helped her gain a following (again, I don't know much about what that entails or how to get involved)... but just an idea...
Good luck with all of your goals!!
I love all your goals--however, I personally would cross LOTR trilogy off. Of course, that is just me yawning from reading the Hobbit. It was enough. My brain is probably too small. (I loved the movies, though. It seems almost blasphemous to say so, when I haven't read the books. But whatever. I'm already past 30, so I have license to be crotchety, no?)
I think you're ambitious (which is good--you youngsters can afford ambition) and inspiring. I have a few of the same goals (Esty shop, dress, pattern from clothing, re-fashioning something) although, obviously, the less-ambitious versions. You go, girl!
Wow. I'm excited to see how these turn out. Good luck.
I feel overwhelmed just looking at your list. hehehe I guess that's why I have a few more years before I turn 30. I can't wait to see you accomplish your list. When is your hometown 5k? I should join you with that goal.
