35 Things to do Before I Turn 35

Yesterday was my birthday!  I am now proud to say that I have made 34 trips around the sun.  Pretty cool journey we get to take each year, flying around in outer space.  For my 35th years, I decided to make a list of 35 things to do before I turn 35. Here’s my list:

1. Read a book a month.  This should be easy since I have book club every month.  If I keep up with the club, this will be complete!  Note to self: must get this month’s book!
2. Sign up for life insurance.  Not to be morbid, or anything.  But, yeah.
3. Try a Barre3 class.
4. Get a monthly massage.  I would love to complete this goal, but I think it might be one of the less likely.
5. Try acupuncture.
6. Get a haircut.  I’m pretty much on a once yearly schedule, and my last haircut was last March.  I did this right before my trip to California!  I love it how the stylist thins out my hair.  Feels so much lighter!
7. Try 5 recipes from my new cookbook!
8. Spend a weekend at the beach.
9. Spend a weekend in the mountains.
10. Can something.  Maybe tomatoes, pizza sauce, green beans?  What do you think, friends?  I know I have some amazing canning friends!
11. Get our garden going again.  It has been sadly ignored since I’ve either been pregnant or living with a small baby for the past 3 summers.
12. Focus on getting my Etsy shop going.  Note:  It has a new name and address – CaroMade!
13. Post one new listing on CaroMade every month.
14. Do a creative retreat – either an organized one, or organize my own!
15. Get more chickens.
16. Get back on my daily chore schedule!  Our house neeeeeeeds it!
17. Go to Disneyland!  Yes!  We took Alma there with my cousin and his family.  So perfect.
    
18. Go to a Broadway musical – it will more than likely be on tour, but it will count and it will be amazing.
19. Hike 35 miles.  Or maybe 35 kilometers might be more attainable.
20. Get the trailer set up and go on bike rides with the girls.
21. Rent a limo.  I’m thinking wine tasting, or Christmas lights?
22. Make and sew a huge cushion for our hearth.
23. Get chairs recovered.
24. Get estimates to get our house painted.
25. Set up some good seasonal capsule wardrobes.
26. 5 Days of Christmas crafts on the blog.
27. Get going on a creative, relaxing morning routine.
28. More author interviews on the blog.
29. Plant a tree, or lots of trees.
30. Take a class.  Sewing?  Cooking? Writing?
31. Sew some clothing for me.
32. Make art of Alma’s and Harriet’s rooms.
33. Go to the Country Fair.
34. Go camping.
35. Build a sandcastle or a snowman.

And…. GO!
