8. Start making my own bread
9. Become consistent with daily scripture study
10. Throw away at least one item of clothing every month
11. Get off the Internet by 10pm
12. Go to the top of the sears tower
13. Get in shape by working out at least three times a week
14. Learn this song and record it

  1. I cannot believe neither of you have read Pride and Prejudice. DO IT NOW. It is one of my very favorites. Jane Austen has other good ones, but start with P&P!

    1. It's embarrassing, I know...I've gotten more than halfway through about 4 times, I've just never gotten to the end!

  2. Persuasion is my favorite.

    Have you tried No-Knead Bread? A fabulous way to check something off your list.

    Great goals, great girl! Happy Birthday!

  8. This is a great idea! I think I am going to follow this plan for my next year. Or start it now. My birthday is right after New Years and birthday goals tend to get lost right along with New Year goals :-P
