30 for 30: Personal Goals for my 30th year of Life

Tomorrow is my 30th birthday and I’m surprisingly not freaking out. I’m very happy with where I am in life at the moment and looking forward to all that this year and others have in store. I’ve never been much of a New Year’s resolution type, but I did decide to do a 30 for 30 list this year. These are 30 of my personal goals for the year. They range from business to health and I tried to balance them out, since my blog is all about how I’m balancing the many hats I wear.

I will probably make this post a “page” in the menu section for you to check and update it periodically with new posts as I complete each task.

In no particular order, here’s my list:

1. Get my driver’s license.
2. Sew a skirt/summer dress.
3. Go on a family vacation (not visiting other family) just the three of us.
4. Write a book proposal.
5. Finish my PhD
6. Take a swimming class.
7. Complete a 90 day fitness program.
8. Take a sewing class.
9. Try a new food.
10. Attend a Mommy and Me play date event.
11. Treat myself to a spa day.
12. Learn to cook a different ethnic dish.
13. Apply for a vendor spot at a large fair.
14. Read 12 new books (non-disseration/mommy related)
15. Update my wardrobe.
16. Go to a movie alone.
17. Update my blog more often.
18. Create a professional digital profile.
19. Have a girls night out/in.
20. Submit an abstract/Present at an academic conference.
21. Attend a blog conference.
22. Call my grandparents more.
23. Complete the 30 things my kids should know about me list.
24. Create a photo album/scrapbook/box for Sesame’s milestones.
