When my daughter, Tallulah, was in 4th grade I found the following list neatly written down on her desk. I kept it, even sent it to my book editor as an idea for a Middle Grade series. I was reminded of this old piece of paper by the “Life List” on Sarah on the Go. As Chief Executive Officer and Director of Global Strategy, Finance & Waste Management here at The Muddy Kitchen, I particularly like the “recycle and compost” rule, but “take pictures with each other and of each other” is pretty great too.

Love this post! Your daughter seems like a very sweet girl. It’s always inspiring to see young children wanting to do good. The whole list is adorable, but I absolutely love #3 🙂
Thanks, lady! Yes – she’s a sweet girl. I’m not sure I could live by Rule #3, but it’s one to shoot for. xx
Love, love, love these rules to live by!!!! We should remind her of rule # 6 when she moans as Poppy is about to take his 400th picture of her 🙂
Love that photo too!
