Day Zero – Month 11 (August)

There’s something to be said for a wet summer! My Day Zero list has taken a beating and I’ve managed quite a few of my tasks. In case you’ve forgotten on the 19 September 2010 I started a Day Zero list: a place to record your goals, discover new challenges, and gain motivation to achieve them. I have a list of 100 things I want to do over 1001 days. The list is due to be competed by 16 June 2013.

18. Bake a Union Jack cake

I had so much fun with this task. It took a while but was worth it. I was speaking to my sister who had a bit of a melt down because her cake didn’t turn out so well. I had to admit that I may have had some help from my husband 🙂

 

35. Make a video of Edward’s first 12 months in photographs

Check out 365 days of Edward in photographs over on my baby blog.

 

37. Make Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon recipe

Inspired by the film Julie and Julia I made it. Best. Meal. Ever.
