30 before 30 update

I've actually been able to cross some things off my list! I'm super happy about it considering November is coming up and I'm about to be 28 so I have almost 2 years left. A couple of them I can't do without Callie being here but that's okay!  

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!)

4. Have a monthly dinner party with friends.

5. Take advantage of MyCaa and start taking classes.

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)

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. Attend the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University classes. *I think I MAY change this one to something else. It doesn't really seem "goal" worthy.

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!

30 before 30

I've read a couple blogs with people who have set goals. Some have done ones where there is no "time limit" but I thought this would be fun to kind of hopefully do! As long as I set them up realistically and not too crazy!
