So this week I was invited to a "Favorite Things" party with some old college friends. I had never heard of a Favorite Things party before so as the host was describing where she came up with the idea she talked about the fact that it was on her "30 things to do before I turn 30" list. Later in the evening she shared the rest of the list with us. I was inspired!
I recently celebrated my 33rd birthday. I'm a list maker and a goal-oriented gal myself so I thought, maybe she's on to something here, so I started brainstorming.
Here's what I came up with... in no particular order:
- Run my second half marathon
- Watch It's a Wonderful Life
- Write my will
- Make a big change
- Get in a blog network
- Try a linking party
- Attend a conference
- Sew a maxi skirt
- Make a piece of jewelry
- Lose 34 pounds
- Finish the baby books
- Make myself an apron
- Update the family photos around the house
- Develop a collection of greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries and just because. Send them.
- Take Curly Girl to a show and make it a special date night
- Make a cheesecake from scratch
- Start the girls' savings accounts
- Buy something from Zulilly
- Finish a 30 day fitness challenge
- Reorganize our perennial garden
