Goals & Projects

Originally, my blog was going to be geared towards TTC, Foster Care, and Adoption. My blog has started to evolve on its own. I've started blogging about other parts of my life and the projects that I'm working on. Decided to use the blog to track progress to keep me on track and hold me accountable. So far it's working! I've been making headway on a lot of projects. Slowly, but surely, they will get done!

I have a couple of big projects going on right now (click on hyperlinks):

1) Decluttering 
2) Budgeting  
3) Photo Booking  
4) Wellness
5) Gratitude  
6) Job Hunting 2016
