50 Fun Things to do before December 31st!

I've made a list. I really am a professional list maker. Truly. I don't think there's a single day that goes by that I don't make a list about something. Groceries, books to read, projects I'm currently working on, projects I'd like to soon start, things I would like to have, housework.... it goes on and on.

A few days ago I decided to make a list of fun things to do this fall and winter with my little family. I'm so excited! I probably could have come up with 100 things to do, but I wanted to do as many "no-cost" things as possible. Of course, treating ourselves to things like eating out and ice skating are always fun to :) I'll update the blog with pictures and our laughs along the way as we tackle all 50 fun things!
