The Winter List | November Self Portrait

Hi everyone!!  Yesterday wrapped up my 2014 wedding season, which means it’s time for my WINTER LIST!
I’m so excited about this. I absolutely love the busy season, but I’m always excited when this time rolls around.
Of course my first priority is spending a greater amount of quality time with my family, but beyond that I have BIG PLANS.
There are so many things that I just don’t have time for in the summer, so when I think of them I jot them down on this list.
All the stuff I need to clean, buy, do for fun, improve….
Many of these are already in progress and I’m having so much fun checking things off!
I’ve divided these into two categories: Personal and Business.
