101 Things in a 1001 Days...
Start Date: June 21st, 2010
End Date: March 18th, 2013
Life is precious and time goes by too quickly soooo...
I've decided to rev up my engines to follow the pack of creative professionals I admire and create "my list" of 101 Things I want to accomplish in 1001 Days.... starting today! I will do my best to blog about each action item as my task is completed. My list is not necessarily in order and I've also left some blank goals ~simply because I know how much I can change, therefore I will want to add more goals as time goes on. I've decided to post my list to my blog because I think this will help to keep me on track and more accountable if anyone in world can see this list ;) So here we go...

Do you guys do maternity photo shoots? I have been considering taking some, but hesitating because I feel just huge, but I have a feeling that I will look back at this time and regret not getting them. Plus I should probably get them now before I am 9 months pregnant and even more huge - scary thought. :D I thought I would ask. You can send an email to allisons01@hotmail.com.
