30 before 30

I saw a friend post a 30 before 30 list and I decided I wanted to do it too! It was much harder than I thought it would be which made me realize I needed to do it even more. Some of these items on the list are things I have wanted to do for a while, some will make me do things I wouldn't normally do and others will challenge me. I am so busy being a mom and working and keeping up all the house needs that I don't have much time for me at all. I was making my list and I started thinking things like "well that is too expensive", "I don't know if we are moving so we might not be living here next summer", "that will take up too much time", "I won't be able to do it." All of this made me realize I NEED to do more for me. So here is my 30 before 30 list. These 30 things I will try and complete before my birthday in August, try and encourage me because some of these are way outside of my comfort zone.
