30 before 30...

Good morning pretties! Well, I am now a couple of months into my 29th year, and have finally figured out my 30 before 30 list. Inspired by lists I have seen around and Nicole over at Making it Lovely, I decided it might be fun to have a list of things I'd like to accomplish this year. For those who don't know me, I have a history of being a bit type-A and hard on myself, so I wanted to make these things fun and doable, so they become accomplishments, not things that add stress. Ok, so its not like I'm curing a horrible disease or climbing Mt. Kilamanjaro (ahem, Mom & Dad), but there's nothing wrong with having silly goals that make you happy, right? Right.
And away we go...

You are AMBITIOUS! And, inspiring as always. I need to create a 40 before 40 list. I am not yet 39, but with a busy life and 40 things on the list, I best get cracking!

Thank you Ellen! We'll see if I can can get it all done! I can't wait to see what's on your list-we are two peas in a pod, so I'm sure I'll get some good ideas.

Your blog is so awesome, Lauren! I wish my blog was as cute as yours and that I had half of your creative abilities.
I want to steal one of your 30 before 30 things to do... I have a month left! Learn to make Pad Thai. I love Good Eats and will have to find this online!
I would steal your goal to get to 200 followers, but being that I only have 8, I have quite a ways to go. :)
Congrats again on getting married, lady. :)

WOW!! thank you Lizzie!! That is so nice! I love your blog too. Let me know if you find a good Pad Thai recipe- I still haven't tried this one so I need to get crackin. I'm still really low on followers, but I'm hoping i can get the word out :D

Congrats on the upcoming wedding- I know its going to be gorgeous!!

I love your list! Every year right around my birthday, I make a list of the new things I've tried or done in the past year. It's my "New Year" so to speak. I dig the personal evolution and hope that while I remain true to who I am I can still find ways to surprise myself.

Great design work, too, btw!
