30 things before the end of my thirties

November 18, 2015 By Shann 159 Comments

The end of my Thirties

My thirties are rapidly coming to an end.

I’ve been seeing tons of bucket lists. I even made some myself for my family this Summer and Fall (which you can see HERE and HERE.) I’ve also seen a really unique list called 101 things to do in 1001 days. It seemed like a cool idea, but that seemed like such a long commitment to me. With my “mommy” brain, I figured I would forget a list that long, so I came up with my own version.

On September 7th, I started the last year of my thirties. Gasp. I’m going to see if I can accomplish these 30 things before my thirties are over.

30 Things

Some of these are blog related, some of these are personal, but all are about me. Obviously, my family is always a part of everything I do, but these are solo goals. So, here we go…in no particular order:

  1. Finish an Aerobic or Zumba class feeling like I could teach it (instead of being all red-faced and gasping for air!)
  2. Take a Girl’s trip (No kids or boys allowed.)
  3. See 3 Non-cartoon movies in the theater.
  4. Drink the recommended amount of water each day for a week.
  5. Submit my writing to 4 major Online sources.
  6. Raise more money for the March for Babies than our team did last year.
  7. Plan and write my blog posts for two weeks in advance at least one time.
  8. Reach 3000 Facebook Followers on the Blog (If you haven’t liked yet, you can help me out HERE.)
  9. Change the design of my blog to something really cool (or at least to something I think looks really cool.)
  10. Be a successful President of my Twin’s Club.
  11. Attend the Third Annual Walker and Willis Walk to Fight TTTS (I’m super bummed we didn’t make it last year.)
  12. Take a trip to Minnesota to see some friends.
  13. Meet some of my favorite bloggers in person (Who’s with me?!?! Conference? Meet-up somewhere fun?)
  14. Fit into my Junior Prom Dress one last time (even if I can’t breathe when it’s zipped up.)
  15. Have a game night.
  16. Throw a party.
  17. Watch the final season of Son’s of Anarchy (I haven’t been able to finish season 6 yet because I’m too sad it’s ending.)
  18. Write a couple of letters to friends instead of emails.
  19. Clean out my closet (for real!)
  20. Perform on stage again.
  21. Try to learn to knit or crochet (again.)
  22. Try to learn to quilt.
  23. See at least 3 concerts.
  24. See at least 1 Play or Dance Production
  25. Go ice skating
  26. Do a blog, Periscope, or Instagram challenge and FINISH it.
  27. Work on Scrapbooks or memory boxes for the twins.
  28. Run 3 miles (in a row.)
  29. Do a Fashion post on the blog.
  30. Actually make a few of the healthy and/or yummy things I’ve pinned on Pinterest.

Well, that’s the list. Can you think of anything I might want to try? I’m definitely willing to substitute or even add-on. All suggestions welcome!

    This is a great list! I have a 30 by 30 on my blog, too, but I’ve still got more than 5 years to accomplish everything, so some of my goals are a little more involved. These all seem completely doable in a year, if you stick to it– and hey, you might get 30 new blog posts out of it, too! Best of luck!!

    I’m with you, I don’t think I could remember a 1,001 Day long list long enough to actually finish it! I don’t have that long of an attention span. I would love to learn to quilt someday. I always meant to start learning when I had a sewing machine, but then I moved and got rid of my sewing machine…maybe someday I’ll get another one.

    I also love the 100 in 1001 but I feel like it’s too much and I was grasping at what to add to it and quit.

    Girl, if you want to drink the recommended amount of water, put at least 2 liters in bottles and make a point to drink that every day, no ifs, ands or buts.

    OH MY GOSH girl! Get on Sons of Anarchy!! It’s sad that it’s over but the last season is incredibly well written. I LOVE Kurt Sutter. <3

    You have all very attainable/achievable things.. I have faith you'll cross them all off and if not that, most. Good luck girl! 🙂

    This is a really great list! I’m in my 30’s so I may add some of these to this season of my life. I’d personally like to travel more but with small kids that difficult right now. Reaching 3000 followers on your blog sounds like a great goal. I need to drink more water.

    This is so great! I love some of these ideas.

I think I may try this out as well! Great idea!

    Great list 😉 When you figure out #7 please let me know. It’s one of my goals all the time but it never happens. Hello Life! I want to learn how to knit or crochet, too. I bought the yarn yesterday to arm knit a scarf then left it in my mom’s car. If this is any indication of how it’s going to go then I’m not sure about it. LOL. I love goal 18. I’m always trying to send more cards and letters to friends and family in the mail. I know it makes everyone feel good to get a handwritten note these days instead of just bills and junk mail.
