From television to Pinterest, I have seen these “30 before 30” lists everywhere. I like to think of myself as a goal-oriented gal, so I decided to make my own list. I’m giving myself plenty of time to accomplish these tasks, as I don’t turn 30 for another 3.5 years. I tried to choose tasks that were attainable; every so often I will post an update about my progress.
My 30 before 30 list
- Have another baby!
- Attend /participate in an organized rally or protest for a cause/organization I believe in
- Learn the basics of web-development (I want to start my own website!)
- Make (and perfect) bread pudding

- Refinish a piece of furniture

- Learn to walk in high-heels (picture a t-rex in heels..that is me)
- Take a pottery-class

- I do re-do! The first time around, Chad and I were uber stressed about our wedding (financing it, and planning it while I was still in college); I was also suffering from a pretty significant eating disorder at the time. We want to re-new our vows, and have fun this time!
OK, it’s your turn. What’s on your 30 before 30 list?
I can totally help you with the bread pudding bit. I’ve got the secrets for it!!! Also, consider your ‘I do redo’ wedding cake already paid for and scheduled…there’s one big financial bit of the wedding taken care of!!! <3
Candace, you are the best! I <3 you!
