Mama's To Do List

There are so many things that I keep wanting to do and never quite getting around to actually doing. There are changes I want to make, but life gets in the way sometimes. Being a single mom, homeschooling and working...well, there just isn't a lot of time left over. 

But I have an idea! 

I'm making a list! 

Something like a bucket list should do, just not quite so long term. Then I can check things off as I get to them. I can post it on the refrigerator. Actually, I think I'll post on my mirror instead! The mirror over my dresser is the place where I start my day and finish my day. Perfect for reminding me!

Let's start with a list of things I'd like to do before the end of this year...

• Make bread from scratch. Sourdough and sandwich bread at least. With my daughter.
• Try that recipe for homemade cheese crackers that's been lying around here for months. 
• Can something. Anything. Canning mastery can be on a later list. Hey, ya gotta start somewhere.
• Make shampoo and conditioner. I really am excited about trying this one. 
• Plan and take my daughter on an excellent, educational, fun field trip that doesn't cost much.
• Have friends over for dinner. No reason necessary except the want of good company. 

I think I better stop or it may not be practical to get through the list before the end of the year! I could keep going, but I thought carefully about what I listed and what I put off for a later time. 

What would be on your list? What have you been wanting to get to, but can't quite seem to find the time?
