2017-2019 #101in1001 Report


Another 2.75 years later, I'm here to report I only completed 50 of the 101 things in the 1001 days. Buuuut we did do all the things like have a baby, move across the country and build a house.

So as I prepare to embark on putting together a new 101 in 1001 list for 2020, here are a few highlights from the last adventure...

Making an annual pilgrimage to Palm Springs. I love that this old Hollywood desert town has become our place. There's something about returning to familiarity but also being able to still
discover new gems like Sunnyland Garden (I mean, look at those cacti!) We also just can't wait to eat another panko-crusted chicken stuffed rice ball from Rooster and the Pig - it's that dank.

Eating all the things. Setting an eating goal helped inspire dates with my Hubs and motivated us to discover new neighborhoods in DC. We don't have as many opportunities to stretch our food pallets in Bozeman but we'll get creative and make a point to travel to eat (at places like Han Oak in Portland).


More reading. Although the next list needs to include more books because I read through 50 too quickly, I loved sharing my reading list and tracking my reads because it sparked me to read even more.

Closet cleanse. One closet cleanse has led to a habit and now I'm regularly cleaning out my closet, donating and selling clothes via POSHMARK. It feels good on all fronts and... Hey, the extra side hustle sure doesn't hurt either!

There were many goals I didn't accomplish that you're sure to see again on my new list like hosting another Friendsgiving, taking a girls trip with just my mom and sister and finally getting to Marfa, Texas.

But now it's time for real talk. You don't want to miss these Black Friday sales:
Vince [For basics like this, it's a sale not to miss] // Gray Malin [30% off everything means it's time to treat yo self to our prized Marfa prints, right?] // La Ligne [Ummm... This sweater has been on my wish list for YEARS and now it's close to affordable. It's also available at Nordstrom if you want to collect da points!]

Goodbye, 2017

To celebrate the coming year, I've rounded up my top 10 moments of 2017... Are you ready m'dears?! Buckle up, here we go in chronological order...

ONE... THE HUBS' BIRTHDAY! Hosting 21 friends and family members in our tiny house for the Hubs' belated golden birthday dinner. And don't forget Julia Child's beef bourguignon and Momofuku Milk Bar's Birthday Layer Cake both from scratch!
TWO... JAPAN! Our adventure included the southern islands, Kyoto and Tokyo to boot! Eeek! This little country truly stole our hearts. I promise a write up for Kyoto and Tokyo is in the works.   
THREE... PORTLAND! I gushed about our Portland weekend here, need I say more?!
FOUR... INN AT LITTLE WASHINGTON! Easily our top meal of the year. The price is steep but every morsel pure genius! Perfect for a special occasion like celebrating turning 32
FIVE... WE'RE HAVING A BABY! Can you believe it?! This spring we're expecting our first baby and we couldn't be more thrilled!! Get the back story here... 
SIX... WESTPORT! Our annual pilgrimage to the Hubs' family's cottage is always a highlight. Does anything beat lobster and the beach? Especially when pregnant?!
SEVEN... GRAY MALIN! Pinch me! Can you believe our baby's first celebrity was Gray Malin?! The Hubs and I have adored Gray's work for years so getting to meet him almost made me faint.
EIGHT... MEAN GIRLS, THE MUSICAL! Tina Fey's latest work is pure magic, truly a must see!





NINE... IT'S A BOY! Finding out we're having a little dude has us dreaming of all things boy. We're almost ready for the room reveal but here's a sneak peek...
TEN... CHRISTMAS IN MONTANA! This year being home for the holidays was extra special. For the first time in nearly a decade all the cousins were reunited which now includes spouses and kids too. Family time is just what the doctor ordered!






Now... who's ready for 2018?!
