Kicking Off My Second 101 in 1001 List!

      I couldn't be more excited to share and begin my second-ever 101 in 1001 bucket list! I began my first list in September 2019, and it wrapped up this past summer. I was able to complete 43 out of 101 items, which I feel like wasn't bad for my first time doing this. (I also think Covid happening in the middle of it didn't help- a lot of the items on the list were off-limits in 2020!) By the way- you can see my first 101 in 1001 list and all of the updates over the years HERE!


  If you're not familiar with what 101 in 1001 lists are, they're a type of bucket list first made popular by blogger Mackenzie Horan of Design Darling. You make a list with various categories of your choosing, coming out to 101 items total. And then you give yourself 1001 days to complete it, which comes out just shy of three years! After years of seeing other bloggers and influencers share their 101 in 1001 lists, I became inspired to try one of my own in 2019. 

      Without further ado- here's my new list!

I feel like I have a decent shot at completing a lot of these, and I am excited to get going! I'll share my first progress update sometime next spring. 


      God Bless,


       xoxo Annaliese
