30 Before 30

I have seen a few people out there do this, and I thought it would be a fun idea. This year I am turning 30, and it's an even more special birthday because I'm turning 30 on the 30th of May. So I thought to keep with the spirit of a new year and all the new goals that come with it, I am making a list of 30 things I would like to accomplish/or be consistent with by the time I turn 30. I am tweaking it a little bit because for a few of the things on my list I am going to need until the end of summer.

So here it goes:

1. Switch the kids' bedrooms
2. Make a picture/video montage of Lucas' first year
3. Complete a wellness challenge
4. Regularly journal
5. Start a collection of Christmas books
6. Learn to hem
7. Build a furniture item from scratch
8. Can peaches
9. Fly to Utah
10. Buy a new pair of shoes
11. Host a game night
12. Finish reading the Mockingjay series
13. Organize a craft club and/or host a craft night
14. Start school time
15. Finish hanging pictures on our walls
16. Attend book club
17. Start a play group
18. Read scriptures daily
19. Regular morning prayers
20. Have morning devotionals with my children
21. Build a play kitchen
22. Finish the food storage shelves and add food to it
23. Paint our master bedroom and/or get new bedding
24. Buy new couches
25. Make an easy access recipe book for myself
26. Cook with less processed foods
27. Make a spring craft
28. Make a new Valentine's craft
29. Make a task chart for the kids
30. Finally finish our fireplace (faux paint it or leave it be)

I will keep you posted on how I am doing!

I think this is a great idea. I might have to copy you. But you left one important thing off the list.
