What I did:

8. Choose and document One Little Word 2015 and 2016 -- Working on it!

13. Pass 500 books for Arthur’s 1000 Books Before Kindergarten (374/500)

26. Read 50 of my owned unread books (45/50)  — Three more books read from October. Getting super close to finishing this goal.

28. Read 100,000 pages toward 1,000,000 page goal (28,726/100,000) — In September, I read 2142 pages. Not a great month, but it's something...

34. Make 250 different greeting cards (101/250) -- 15 new designs from the last month! Slowly plugging along with this goal. Being on the SSINK design team is really helping me keep on track!

45. Make 50 new recipes (29/50)

• Sausage and Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash -- Incredibly yummy!

54. Try 25 new restaurants (13/25)

• Casa Orozco -- Decent Mexican place in Dublin

69. Visit the Redwoods (any park) -- For this fall's retreat, we vacationed in the Russian River area. Saturday morning we visited Armstrong Woods for a nice walk (which turned into a moderate hike). Such amazing trees!

72. Donate something extra at each MVPA social x 10 (4/10) -- Another amazing social in the books.

74. Donate to a Kickstarter campaign I love -- One Bad Mother launched an awesome Kickstarter featuring Parenting Merit Badges. Check it out here!

91. Go horseback riding or hiking -- Unintentionally I went hiking on the retreat. We started out with a 1-3 mile easy walk, but instead we climbed over 400' along a trail.
