I'll be doing this challenge as well as some of the prompts from the Autumn Blog Challenge as a way to create some legacy gifts for Sophia and Olivia.
Both the girls have been interested in what I write and create in the Take a Stitch Tuesday journal I'm keeping this year, so I began writing specifically for them back in June through the Summer Blog Challenge.
The 30 Days of Lists is a more visual, quicker way to write my thoughts. The entries I'll be doing for the Autumn Blog Challenge will have more pictures that will tie into what I write (just like I did for the Summer Blog Challenge) - in contrast to the 30 Days of Lists which will not have photographs on the pages the book itself.
The first prompt is "I am a Lister Because..." and here's what my pages look like:
If my reading isn't legible, this is what I wrote:
=> It keeps me focused and moving forward.
=> I can use lots of different colors of markers.
=> If I go to a grocery store without one, I'll end up leaving with things I don't need.
=> Lists help me remember everything I need to do.
=> I like to see things crossed off a list.
=> With parenting, caregiving, taking care of pets, homeschooling, and running a home, I need to keep everything running smoothly.
=> I can look back on lists I've kept and remember a particular time of my life.
=> It gives me a sense of accomplishment.

We've got a lot of reasons in common! I love the one about the grocery store: that's so true for me as well! Without a list, I'll buy a bunch of things I don't need, but I'll forget a lot of things I DO need!
I'm a lister, too, so I agree! I like that it looks like you are making journal pages for this. :)
Lists: Can't live with them, can't live without them!
i forgot all about grocery lists! maybe i would spend less money if i stuck to one ;)
