Last year, before my 29th birthday I decided I wanted to do a 30 before 30 list. With the exception of 2 or 3 items, I accomplished a lot in 365 days! I’ve got one last thing that I plan on finishing before my birthday on Tuesday 🙂 It’s a pretty sweet feeling to have met so many goals in such a short time! This year for my birthday, I’m thinking longer term… 10 years to be exact. I’ve written a 40 before I’m 40 list!

Do you have a “before” or bucket list?
Jennifer Dysart says
I should this list, i never did one for 30 (just turned 30 this year), but maybe for 40!
anothercleanslate says
I turned 30 this year as well. Maybe I need to come up with my own list- love the idea!
Chelsea says
I LOVE that you have included a bunch of blogging related to-do's in the next ten years! It's awesome that you plan to do it for the long-term. I totally used to think this was just a "phase" where I'd be all into it then just stop one day, like I do with a lot of things, but I definitely think blogging will stick for a long, long time!
Mandy says
Love this list, hope you accomplish it!
Alicia says
You can visit my home town and knock out 2 of those at once! Natchez, Ms has LOTS of annebelum homes and they have a balloon race festival every October.

Happy Birthday to you! You are a very ambitious girl!! I have never done anything quite like this, but you are giving me inspiration. I'll let you know if I even get the list written, let alone complete the things on it.

See whales on the cruise you take and go scuba diving there. Double up on some and you'll get there.

This is a great idea 🙂
I just turned 29 a few days ago and have another baby on the way. It has me thinking a lot about the future and where I'd like to see myself and my family in a few years. Perhaps I will have to try this.
