28 things.

Last year, I wrote this post on my 27th birthday. It was a list of 27 things that I wanted to do while I was 27. Today I am 28. It's been an entire year since I wrote that list, and I'll admit that I did not fulfill every single goal (although I did finish many of them!). All that being said, in my true list-loving manner, I am writing a new list for this year...

28 Things to Do while I'm 28!

1. Read through the entire Bible.
2. Learn to crochet or knit. (Opinions on which is easier??)
3. Stress less, especially when my plans don't go as planned.
4. Read more.
5. Focus more on being a mother, and less on being a housekeeper.
6. Enjoy more time as a family.
7. Reduce the amount of processed food that we eat. (Again!)
