30 Before Thirty...

So everyone probably has some kind of bucket list, you know the things you want to do or see at some point in your life. I do, some are practical and some are insane but they don't really have a time scale, you know theyre just things i know i want to do! That's why i love the 30 before thirty so much, its a good day to really take a look at all the things you want to do and pick out the top thirty and give yourself that time frame to do it!! Now in not saying that means you have to scrap everything else you want to do, hell no!! But its a good way to really look at your life and where you want to be when you are thirty, do you want to have had kids? Or a mortgage? Or to have seen the world?
its different from person to person but i think we can all agree its a good way to really look at your overall bucket list and pick out the top thirty things we want to achieve, to really see what's important to us and go out and get it!! You might even finish the bucket list before your thirty and do more who knows but i absolutely love the idea of really picking out thirty things to concentrate on in life.

So my list is something ive been thinking about for a while now and so as i share it for all of you i can say that somethings will already be done but that's a good thing!! Sometimes knowing that things are already crossed off your list gives you motivation to really get going and complete more on your list!! Ive tried to make mine a good mixture of fun and serious things that i will have achieved by my thirties so that i can say that i achieved and really pushed my life forward whilst also making AMAZING memories along the way!! I definitely want photo albums full of different adventures so when I'm older i can look back and really smile about my life...

so here it is ...

1. Finally have baby number 2 and complete our family 
little P born december 2012

2. Get completely out of debt. - This one is in progress

11. Own a Michael kors handbag and matching purse :) - i know it doesn't seem like a big one but to own a really expensive bag (anything over £100) to me means i finally have my one item of extravagance and a bag seems the most practical thing to get if your spending alot

12. Visit Italy - god i love their food

14. Book a spontaneous and last minute holiday - doesn't have to be far just something unplanned

17. Go to a music festival

18. Travel to at least 5 different countries (Italy is included as one when that happens)

20. Finish decorating the house

21. Get the garden finished

22. Have at least £1000 in a savings account for those emergencies

23. Learn how to paddle board - it looks easier then surfing lol

24. Start a family Christmas tradition - every Christmas morning we have pancakes, chocolate waffles and fruit for breakfast! And every night we put one present on the bottom of the kids beds from Santa so they know hes been!

26. Join the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan
