Tonight I was cleaning out some computer files (you know, sometimes it just has to be done!) and I came across this list I made for my younger sister for a personal progress project she was completing. It was fun to create and I love looking back over it. I have learned so much while being a wife and mother. I felt like I got a kick start on some things and then was pushed into further knowledge has I had to put these things into action on a daily basis. I know there's much more I could add to the list, but tonight I was just happy to have it to look over!
