#109 Super Epic Rainbow Cake
I found this list (well the concept) on a blog written by Sammy called Happy Family, Healthy Family. It is an idea she got from Day Zero Project which encourages you to set and achieve personal goals.
I thought it was a fantastic idea and decided to create my own list of 111 things in 1001 days. It is only supposed to be 101 things, but I kept thinking of things to do. I actually had to stop myself at 111 otherwise I would never complete the list.
