365 in 365: January Update

Whoa I can't believe it's already February! I feel like I could blink and we'll be watching the ball drop for 2016... too soon? Alright I'll stop. If you've been keeping up with the blog this year, then you know what my 365 in 365 is, but if you're new around here, you can read the first post here. And keep up with how the list is going here. But for today, let's just recap a little about what I've checked off the list this month!

First things first, as much as I would like to try to avoid talking about the fact that I STILL haven't actually finished coming up with a complete list of 365 things... it's been an elephant in the room for me for a while now. Let's just be real. Coming up with a list of 365 things is hard. Real. Hard. Especially when I want them to be at least somewhat realistic and achievable. {if i ever want to cross off #5} What did I get myself into...

BUT - I've checked 16 items off my list so far and I've got a few that are partially completed! Fun fact, I've tried 4 new restaurants this month {see #219}! Most importantly: I've saved $160 - see #365 on the list! Alright, Shall we discuss this crazy list I got myself into??
