I love lists. Love them! I have a huge Mead 5 Star 5 subject notebook full of lists.

This is really just a short list. There will be more added to it as the year rolls on. I will take a cue from Sprittibee and link to this list in the sidebar and then come back and cross things off as I do them.
Well, I was tired before I read your list, and now I’m exhausted!!! Make sure you find ways to take good care of yourself so you have the energy to “do” for your family! They are so very lucky to have you, with all the love and care you heap on all of them.
Yep, fellow list maker here. I haven’t done mine yet, but think I will sit down this afternoon and get one posted (also courtesy of Spritti’s post). Might as well join in the listy fun! All the best to you this year as you set out to accomplish yours! 😀
