Do you have a list? If you do I’d love to see it. Let’s keep each other encouraged! Please link below to your list’s post (If you’d like your readers to join in as well, link to this post so they can link up with us too!). Update your list as you get stuff done. And, check out Ruari laughing at Angus below.

And, please check out by The Feminist Housewife‘s blog. I was really inspired by her and she’s got such a lovely blog. 🙂
love your blog and images!! I have subscribed ;o)Come over and see us sometime at http://edensbabylife.blogspot.com/
You inspired me to do my list…just linked up. I love your blog and your daughter is so adorable!
Great list! Very inspirational. I'm keeping this idea in my bloggy file.
Good list to start with, hope you don't mind if I pinch an idea or two from you…
very very awesome (and totally attainable) list Chelsey! Don't worry, I have a video camera too and don't know how to use the darn thing either. The digital camera videos are so much easier 🙂
this is so fun! thanks for passing on the good idea!i love your list :)-i should strive to keep my posts at under 25 a month, lol!-teaching baby signing is really a lot less hard then it seems. i just stuck with the basics and you just do them over and over and over. only she still uses them instead of words sometimes. er.-i should have added to do a budget. oops.-we'll have to share baby food recipes!-post photos of that little cuties room when you get done!$100 in cloth diapers later, i don't think tim will let me not give it a good college try!
This is a great idea!! I just came across your blog for the first time and it's awesome:) My birthday was this past Sunday, and I had hoped to make a similar list…working on it today and I hope to link up with you tonight:) Have a wonderful day!
I just found your blog and I love it! So fabulous!! can't wait to read them and catch up with all the fun! I am 28 now so i will have to make a 29 things by 29 list! when i finish i will post it :)What a fun idea 🙂 I like some of the ideas that you came up with, they got me thinking. I have a little 7 month old baby girl and I am so in love! your little one is adorable, how old is she?
I turn 28 in August. I will link up tomorrow! I think I should write a 29 by 29 list though… August will be here way too soon!
That's awesome! = ) Loved your list!
Oh yes…and Pilates and yoga ROCK! I just did a Pilates workout yesterday. Today…my abs are not thanking me 🙂
I shudder to say, 39 before 39 would be a LONG list. Maybe I'll make a 40 before 40 so at least I'll have a year and a half to get it all done!Baby signing is awesome. I did it with both of my kids and it was a LIFESAVER. We were all a lot less frustrated being able to understand each other, at least on a pretty fundamental level. It takes a while and you have to be religious about it. The earliest I saw signs back was at about 9 months.I'd like to have just ONE date with my hubby. We've had all of one in the past year.
Ohhh, lovely. Hm. A 20 before 20 list?Maybe coming soon;) I'll be sure to bookmark this post and link back!Loved your list!
Thanks! Love your list too! Good luck, and keep me updated!
I love your list! I finally finished my 30 by 30 list and linked it up with yours.
