A few days ago, I was surfing online and came across someones bucket list. It quickly inspired me to make my own list of goals, dreams and life experiences that I want to do in my lifetime. I don't know about you, but sometimes life can get SO boring. Why not have dreams? Make a plan? Decide that life doesn't ALWAYS have to be so monotonous! {Besides, you know I'm a "make a list" junkie!!!}
I decided to start with 100, in no specific order and some have been crossed through as accomplishments. In my world the best lists show proof that you've been productive {which is like a drug to me}. Surprisingly, I learned a little bit about myself during this challenge! You should try it!

I would love to hear a few things on your list!
My husband says he thinks this is a do-able list with the exception of learning to whistle and being a healthy eater. HA!
ReplyDelete(and, he's really been trying to talk me out of the whole "riding an elephant". WHIMP!
I'll be your bill payer! And you can feature me building beds for the girls when we move... assuming I can convince Gordon we should. He was totally on board until he decided we could just keep the bed Addison is using now. I want to keep it but use it for baby #3 so the girls can have matching beds in their new room. We'll see... it will eventually happen :)
ReplyDeleteI love this! My husband and I have made a joint "bucket list" and have started checking things off but I never thought to put it on my blog! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, send me the link to your blog so I can stalk you! :) Glad I could inspire you! Can't wait to read yours!
ReplyDeleteJessica, you will live way too far away to pay my bills. Not to mention all the lectures I would have to listen to from you about how I shouldn't have bought this and that. LOL. NO THANKS!!! hahaha
