Chipping away...

Go me for crossing off a couple more things of my 30 before 30 list. It's not much in fact it is very hard trying to work on the bigger ones but, I haven't even turned 29 yet so I still a lot of time to try to accomplish the rest!

 The new ones I've completed I wrote a little about underneath. Just a couple but still a great motivation to see things get crossed off here and there!



1. Become Debt Free! -this one may be the hardest to try to complete in 2 years but if I were able to it would be huge which is why it's my number 1!

2. Learn to sew, knit, crochet something!

3. Breastfeed for 6 months! (I made it 6 weeks, so I think 6 months would be amazing this time around!)
I was able to do it! Although I stopped after getting ANOTHER bout of mastitis right after she turned 6 months. I did it. I'm glad I was able to make it, but for us, a happy mommy and happy baby means she gets formula.

4. Have a monthly dinner party with friends.



5. Complete something off of Pinterest. 
Wow, I have completed a lot of little things off pinterest. Our dinners have become MUCH more fun and filled with more variety. I have found lots of little tips and tricks around the house, fun activities for the babies, and lots of great holiday and birthday ideas!

6. Have three months’ worth of expenses in our savings account.

7. Pay for a military family’s meal (a family I don’t know and without them knowing who I am) while out at a restaurant. *This we completed but I feel like not technically because it was at a Dairy Queen and we paid less than 3 dollars. So it is not getting crossed off.

8. Organize all my photos that are currently on my computer eating up space.

9. Learn to cook on a grill by myself.

10. Get both kids potty trained.

11. Take a photography class.

12. Buy all my produce from a farmers market or local farmer.

13. Bake a pie and cake all from complete scratch. (Not at the same time though)

14. Get to spend at least 2 days/2 nights completely kid free, with my husband.

15. Go to a winery and do some wine tasting. (even if I don't like it)

16. Walk more, at least 4 times a week.

17. Throw a great 30th birthday party for myself.

18. Get a pet! (Preferably a dog)

19. Get Andy another car so we have 2 cars instead of 1.


20. Get a pedicure for the first time. (yes I have never gotten a pedicure)


21. Add something unique to my Hello Kitty collection of stuff.

22. Be able to get another cute birth announcement for Baby Bean like I was able to with Wilson.

23. To have driven under 10,000 miles each year on my car. *1 year down and we did it amazingly considering we moved from Indiana to Mississipp to Louisiana!


24. To go grocery shopping by myself with 2 under 2. (this one I'm scared about)
This one can be a challenge but I was able to do it a couple times when Andy was working the Mids shift. It was a lot harder when I was breastfeeding Callie because she would get hungrier a lot faster and I would have to rush to try and get everything I needed before I could nurse her. Now that we have made the switch, I have a little more time before she starts getting hungry. But it works out pretty well. I put Callie in the Ergo and carry her and Wilson in the cart.

25. To be able to fit all my clothes again after baby #2. (hopefully this one will be super easy to do! EEP!)


26. To be able to cloth diaper both babies, which means I need to build up a stash of Cloth Diapers. (See how number 1. is going to be insanely hard to do?) 


27. Stop biting my nails. Again!

28. Be able to budget one going out dinner a month.

29. Get my in laws to come out and visit us for a little while!

30. Be able to visit Indiana at least twice!*
 1 visit out of 2 down!
