Well, the title pretty much about sums it up. Months ago I ran across this list, from a sweet blogger I follow, and being a list person myself, I was instantly drawn in. If you’re not a list freak like me, than you might not
understand my explicit joy that comes from this process, but nonetheless I encourage you to read on. For some reason lists bring peace of mind for me.
And writing them out is even more helpful. Sometimes when I can’t sleep,
I write lists.
Sometimes when I have too many thoughts in my head,
I write lists.
Sometimes when I’m bored
I write lists.
And sometimes when things feel chaotic,
I W.R.I.T.E. lists.
They are super helpful for me, and I liked the challenge of having a”To DO” list for fun. So without further intro… my list. 35 things I would like to have done by the time I’m 35, in complete random order (btw).
Here we go:
Make homemade bread from scratch. (Thanks to this fabulous/easy recipe).Make asuccessfulpie crust from scratch.- Give more generously.
- Make something with my sewing machine.
- Teach my children a skill.
Make my own piece of furniture. (i.e. Jesse)- Be purposeful in God’s calling on my life.
- To not have a “PILE” of “DRAWER” full of stuff = be more organized.
- Play the piano.
- Instill the awe and love of God to my kids.
- Bless a total stranger.
- Use our savings account for more than just “keep the change” (start this year).
- Repurpose something old.
Run a 5k.- Be done having babies.
- Have a fully functional desk space.
- Go on another honeymoon – just me and the hubby.
- See the west coast (I was born in California).
- Be in shape.

- Also, have a thriving produce garden. (veggies)
- Have a successful blog.
- Spend a week at the lake with my kids and my husband.

- Take bolder chances in decorating.
- Know the Word.
- Go on a girls vacation with just my mom and my sisters.
- Go to New York (again), but see central park, Serendipity, and the Plaza Hotel.
So as you can see, only three of these lovely items are crossed off my list, so that means I better get crack-o-lacken 🙂 Again, I know I might not be able to complete all of these, looks like I will be traveling a LOT, but it was fun to do, fun to think about, and hopefully complete.
~What about you? Are you a list maker?
~Do you have things, or maybe just one thing you would like to accomplish?
