Life

“When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.” ~ Paulo Coelho

Creating a bucket list – a list of the things you want to see and do before you die – is a great idea!  But it doesn’t have to be finite.  It’s not a kick-the-bucket list!  Think of the things you’ve always wanted to do, write them down in a list, complete some, add others…so it’s a list that’s always evolving and changing!

  1. Loving your blog Jen. Well done!

  2. Great blog Jen! One word of advice: Go skydiving BEFORE you think about having kids, if you plan that. It was the one thing that was knocked off the list once my little one came into my life. Funny how priorities change.

    Keep up the great work!

  3. Great list! I also had making a Build a Bear on my list – I thought it was lame to include it at first, but it ended up being so fun!

    • You were totally my inspiration for writing down Build a Bear. Every time I pass one I think to myself…I want to do that one day. Seeing it on your list made me decide to finally write it down to make sure it gets done!!! :)

  4. I love your lists!!! :) Riding an elephant would be absolutely magical!

  5. Hey Jen! I love your blog, awesome job! Super fun goals too and I love that you have eat at a restaurant and watch a movie in the theater by yourself (I have done both if these and totally loved it for numerous reasons! Definitely recommend it! Though others have laughed at me for it or been shocked that I’d even consider it, silly right? Haha. Keep up the good work, I look forward to reading more! :)

  6. Um, I love the fact that Build a Bear is on your list :)

    Really though, what a great idea to have a list laid out like this! Very inspiring and goal-oriented.
