This post was inspired by Julia who was inspired by Marcia.
What you do is make a list of things you want to do before your next birthday – you use your age as the number of things to do. They can be big things or small things 🙂
So here is my list
1. Learn to sew – my mom sent up one of her old sewing machines for me so now all I need to do is learn how to use it 🙂
2. Finish our photo wall on the stairs. We have just started it and so far there are no pictures of Jack up so I want to get that done.
3. Loose 10kg (the plan before baby)
4. Get back to gym at least 5 days a week.
5. Take more pictures. So much happens that I should be taking pictures of.
6. Go for more walks with the kids. We have such a lovely neighbourhood to walk around.
7. Start reading again to the kids. We used to do this every night and for some reason life got too crazy so we stopped.
8. Make Tranquil Body Treats a success.
9. Get Ladies on Lunch back up and running properly.
10. Make more time for my friends.
11. Buy at least 4 expensive items of clothing – I don’t enjoy shopping at all so I avoid it and when I do it I stick to what I know but David keeps telling me I need to buy at least one brand item and then I will be hooked. I may start with the voucher for Big Blue than Jeanette gave me 🙂
12. Find some pictures for our bedroom wall – I actually have the pictures in mind just need to have them printed and framed.
13. Set a wedding date. I want to get married NOW! But I want it to be proper so have to wait but I want a date so I know what I am aiming for.
14. Get my hair done every 6 weeks. I neglect my hair terrible.
15. Make sure David and I have a proper date night at least once a month.
16. I want to have an engagement party.
17. I want to organise a proper Christmas party with my friends.
18. Try out more new recipes.
19. Get new glasses. This may sound odd but I have had these glasses for over 6 years – its time for some new ones.
20. Carry on studying.
21. Do a family photo shoot.
22. Buy more books – even second hand ones.
Ok it has taken me ALL DAY to get these 22. So I am going to post this and add when I think of more!

Your list is very cool so far. Love your number 1 and your number 4. I have 3 brand items (all gifts) and I am not hooked. Maybe that’s a good thing?
I think its awesome that you are in such a good place that youcould only think of 22 things!
I love this idea – stuff to tackle.
Unfortunately as soon as I saw the list (and started to identify with some of them) I got anxious as I kept going “you never get to anything, why put it on a list…” but I will wait for the meds to work and my sunny disposition to come out, and then I can tackle my own list.
I also really love walks with the kids – and reading to them, but lately I have done so little of what I love …..
I like this idea alot Laura!
Your list is a nice balance of things to do and things to experience. I hope you get to do all 33 🙂
Great idea and list. I’m going to put this off until my birthday, because there are things that will need a bit more than the 6 months and 3 days I have left :0
Phone me and we will go Big Blue shopping. I realy wear their stuff for years and years.
I love your list! I am so doing this after my next birthday, which is just around the corner. Of course, my list will be munch longer!
Where is my comment? I am 100% sure I commented?///
Love your list and it’s such a good idea to give yourself a year to do all the things you want / need
