Bucketlist Destinations

If not now, then when?

I <3 organization.

So much that when I moved out of my last apartment, I found a basket just for empty baskets. It’s no surprise that to-do lists have a special place in my heart. I’ll make a list for just about anything. And while I love organizing things, I’m less than spectacular at the staying organized. And thus, these plentiful lists disappear to the land of broken iPhone’s, notebooks of yesteryear’s and lost scraps of torn sketchbook paper.

So, where better than the keep my bucketlist on something I virtually cannot lose? Right here. Hope this growing list inspires some of y’all and please, do tell if you have any suggestions to fill her up!
