I love making lists and dreaming up plans for the future. And since I'm turning 29 today, I'd love to share my "thirty before thirty" list.
These are thirty things that I hope and plan to do in the year ahead. Some big, some small. A few challenges and a few things just for me. It's a list that I hope brings me joy and growth. So here we go...

2. collect and scan my grandma's photos
3. take a cake decorating class
4. find two new musicians to love
