A few weeks ago, I read about the Thirty Before Thirty project and I was really intrigued. You compile a list of thirty things you’ve never done in your life and you try to accomplish all of those things before you turn 30. I turned 29 in May of this year and I think it’ll be an awesome thing to try!
I’ve come up with the following list and I need just a few more suggestions. Care to give me some? It’s much appreciated! This is what I have so far:
- Make Thanksgiving Dinner
- Make a baby
- Buy a house
- Make homemade pickles
- Donate blood
- Sell at a craft fair or farmer’s market
- Complete at least 30 new Pinterest projects
- Read “Rain of Gold”
- Pay for a stranger’s meal in the drive thru
- Try Pho noodles
- Spend a whole day (or do I dare, a weekend?) without the internet, including my iPhone (I’m terrified of this one!!!)
- Knit a blanket
- Sew a quilt
- Learn enough Spanish to comfortably carry on a conversation in Spanish with my mother-in-law
- Host an online charity auction
- See “The Book of Mormon” or “Wicked“
- Have a garage sale
- Host a fancy dinner party
- Host a “beauty white elephant” party (gift exchange with beauty products)
- Have dinner at LA Prime
- Make cake pops
So far, I’m really enjoying this list and I’m anxious to start! But again, I’d love suggestions for the remaining 9 items. Feel free to comment below. Thanks again!!

Great list! I made a similar one a couple of years ago that included learning to play the guitar so that I could sing at an open mic night (I can’t actually sing worth beans!), camping under the stars, and traveling to a foreign land. I was able to knock off about half of the list. :)

Thanks, Lisa! I think I should probably add learning to play guitar. I’ve tried before but I’ve always given up before I learned a full song. I’ve been lucky enough to have gone camping & travel to a foreign country :) But I’d love to do both again!

Fabulous ideas!!! Hmmm… Definitely add some far off travel trips to the list. Add a stamp or five to your passport. Things to do before baby… Maybe a spiritual or religious retreat. And add silly crazy stuff to the list. Save x amount of money. Purge excess clothes/stuffs from closet, kitchen… Travel to all 50 states and photo document the trip. Run a 5k or half marathon. … :)

Great suggestions, Jen! I really wish I could add a few more stamps to my passport but I only have about 9 months to complete it! Maybe I’ll try to make less expensive trips to Mexico & Canada instead ;)
