But it totally feels like a Friday…right?! Today I am linking up with running with spoons for thinking out loud. This is my first thinking out loud link up–so bare or bear with me 🙂 Thoughts for the day: 1. Lists I am such a list person. Whenever we go on trips, I make tons of lists: a grocery list, an ingredient list, a clothes list, a packing items list, a cooler list, etc…the lists literally go on…
