I thought it was time to do one last 30 by 30 update, since I turn 30 in August of this year. I first created this list in 2016 and life has changed A LOT since then. There are things I don’t care about doing anymore, and things that I know aren’t going to happen, but that I would still love to experience sooner than later. Overall we’ve done a lot of things, and I have a better idea of what exactly I would put on another bucket-type of list again. Interests change, circumstances change, and I’m ok with that — that’s how life goes, and really how life gets better, so I have no regrets 🙂
Take my kids on a Disney vacation.(We went to Disney World in March of 2017 – see the last post about it here – the others are linked at the beginning of it! We also went to Disneyland in November of 2018.)Attend a bloggers conference.(While not exclusively for bloggers, I’m counting Momday!)Attend an Allison’s Dance Party!(Not sure if this is a thing anymore, but probably not going to happen even if it is, which is ok!)Go on a zipline.(Probably not going to happen by my birthday but would still love to do.)Go parasailing. (Probably not going to happen by my birthday but would still love to do.)Go on a cruise.(Probably not going to happen by my birthday but would still love to do.)Run a Ragnar.(Probably not going to happen by my birthday but would still love to do.)Buy a DSLR (and learn how to use it).(Nope, I don’t have interest in this anymore.)Have one more baby.(Yep, we welcomed Jonah in May of 2018!)Attend a UBAM convention.(Wasn’t for me.)- Run at least 1 5K per year.

— and I have one tentatively planned for this November.)- Go on a couples trip.
Have the whole upstairs of my house painted and decorated.….. and have started on the basement.(It’s painted, and we have all the stuff to do it, and it’s planned for the first weekend of February!)Continue growing my blog, working on good content and fostering relationships with readers.(Done, but also still ongoing.)Sell at least $1000 in books a month via my Usborne business.(Wasn’t for me.)Promote to an Usborne Team Leader.(Wasn’t for me.)Go to Glacier National Park.
