My 30x30 Journey

I have reached that sensitive time in my life...I recently turned 29! I was so sad. Thinking "this is it". The end of my youth and adventure. I'm a mother of 2, so some of that has diminished a smidge in the last 8 yrs, but putting a number on it made the doom feel more impeding. But I told myself you can choose one of the following. You can:

A) sulk and cry and regret the things I hadn't done or
B) embrace it and own it and do some of the things you must had subconsciously been saving for just this moment

........I clearly chose B! And from that point I was inspired to compile a list of 30 things I wanted to achieve before I turn 30.

Originally 30 things sounded like a breeze. I knew there had to be way more than 30 things I've been yearning to try or experience or even wanting to modify in myself. But this list has turned into a little stinker! I still haven't finished compiling it and I have been 29 for an entire month now. I've already wasted a month and hadn't done anything I had set out to do. So below you will find my list to date and I will be randomly picking one to complete and I will make sure to share it with everyone. Some things are personal things I enjoy, and some are really things I'm pushing myself to try. And if anyone has some they would like to suggest I clearly could use them.

1) Start a Blog--->and keep up with it. ***WooHoo*** That's one goal half achieved
2) Complete one Pinterest craft per month. I am a constant pinner and not so much a doer
3) Make our own all natural cleaning products
4 )Have a grown up Vegas weekend
5) $5 FUND--->When I find myself with more than one $5 bill, I save it and will keep saving the whole year
6) Send a soldier a care package
7) Learn to knit
8) Visit Crater Lake
9) Try keeping a journal again
10) Sell 3 pieces of my salvage furniture redos
11) Compost Compost Compost
12) Take more pictures, and let more be taken of me. this is a hard one
13) Pick a month and don't buy anything NEW for the entire month. I will explain specifics when the time comes
14) Watch every Oscar winning movie for Best Picture
15) Do a 5k for a charity I feel strongly about
16) Do a (unspecified amount)k for fun! i want it to be more about the fun of the run and not the distance on this one
17) Bye Bye plastic bags. I will be converting to reusable
18) Fix my mothers childhood quilt  this one is tough too! Not only do I not know how to sew, but the quilt is ruined but it means the world to my mom.
19) Volunteer with my daughter
20) Try being Vegetarian for 4 weeks...or longer :)
21) Since we're going chemical free with the cleaning supplies we're going to try switching to hormone free foods as well.
22) Read one acclaimed book every month
23) Build something from scratch. Who needs Ikea anyway
24) Manage our family finances boring but something I should have learned to do a long time ago
25)
26)
27)
28)
29)
30)

And that is as far as my mind can go it seems. My list isn't anything crazy. But I don't want to include things that are too outlandish that I'll never even glance at them twice, but I want them hard enough and rewarding at the same time. If I do more than 30 that's ok too. I'm sure thru the year I will remember more things I wanted to try, see, or do and will just throw it up there.
