Technically it’s less than four months out until my 30th birthday (but who’s counting??). Honestly I’m not dreading this birthday whatsoever (the perks of being the youngest of my friends + younger than my husband — love you all! š ). But I am excited to be knocking some items off my list!
01 // Become a mom.Ā Hey! I did this!Ā
02 // Run a half marathon.Ā Registered for the Akron half — ONE week before my 30th birthday!
03 // Go on a family vacation to the beach.Ā We did this over the summer!Ā
04 // Participate in a yoga workshop.
05 // Go to a professional sporting event.Ā Three Indians games during Summer 2013.
06 // Learn something new by taking a class.Ā Another unexpected surprise was surprising myself with going to Wine & Canvas painting events. It feels good to make it a regular practice to be crafty.
07 // Spend an entire day paying it forward.
08 // Visit Niagara Falls.Ā Loved that we did this as a family in April.
09 // Visit Denver.
10 // Pay for the person behind me at Starbucks.Ā Iāve done this ā THREE times!Ā Ā And it feels fantastic each and every time.
11 // Go on a wine tour.Ā Check! Girls wine tour, 2013, in the books! It should have been called “Moms Hot-Mess-Express 2013.” Oy.
12 // Try a new [to me] exercise class.Ā I tried a new cycling class. But I feel like this only half counts. I’ve also been doing
13 // Visit an apple orchard as a family.Ā My sweet family of three visited an apple orchard just a few weeks ago!
14 // Participate in the Warrior Dash.Ā I havenāt done this exact race, but I did participate in Pretty Muddy ā which was an obstacle course womenās mud run. Sooo basically the same thing. And to be honest, I probably will not do a Warrior Dash. The Pretty Muddy 5k was super rough on my body and I donāt think Iāll do the WD.
I’m also doing Foam Fest in a couple weeks! HOW FUN!! Use codeĀ FF5352 when you register!
15 // ā¦and the Color Run!Ā Does Color Me Rad count?? I think so!

30 // Play in the snow.Ā Ari and I haven’t really made it out in the snow. This past winter wasn’t… ideal. In fact, it was well-below freezing for much of the season. Bummer. This may be the only one that I don’t get to. Oh well!
