My Bento Box Life


There is an App on the Ipad called Bento Box that sounded great. I had this idea that I would be able to put my life into little compartments that I could tackle one at a time.

I wanted to see the things that are important to me and be reminded to spend some time in each area. There are 2 new areas - 52 Photos and 15 minutes outside that I'm trying to add into my life.
