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?
I should this list, i never did one for 30 (just turned 30 this year), but maybe for 40!
I turned 30 this year as well. Maybe I need to come up with my own list- love the idea!
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!
Love this list, hope you accomplish it!
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.
These are GREAT ideas! How fun!
Jennifer! Happy Birthday this week! Mine is next week! I thought about doing a list, but changed my mind. Good luck on yours! (0:
Love your list!!!
Happy Birthday! What a great list!!!
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.
AMAZING list!! I know you can do!! Let the adventures begin! 🙂 God bless!
Love this!!! I have one of these as well, though I turn 32 September 1st so I have only 8 years until I'm there!
Here is mine if you want to take a look: http://www.baxtronlife.com/2013/03/40-before-40.h… or if the link doesn't show up you can search "bucket list" in my search bar.
Amazing list and i think I need to do this I have 8 years left to complete this 🙂
Happy Birthday! That's a pretty amazing list 🙂
love it
This is a great idea no matter age! I like it, you have motivated me to make my own! Happy Birthday! Bestest Wishes! : )
Ugh I don't even want to think about a 40 before 40 list…
It's great that you made a list! I'd definitely go for the Irish castle one!
See whales on the cruise you take and go scuba diving there. Double up on some and you'll get there.
I just got to cross something off my bucket list a few weeks ago…see Lil Wayne live in concert! Yay!! one more down….Thanks, Weezy!
What a fun list!! I can't wait to watch you knock em off your list 🙂
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.
