I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 31! Can we make that a thing? Sure, why not?! I mean, Taylor Swift released an entire surprise album for her 31st birthday. So I can make a mini bucket list of things I’ve never done before I turn 31. Right?

This all came about last year when I saw a girl on Instagram doing 30 things before her 30th birthday. I thought, “Hey! Why not list things you’ve never done and try them for the blog?” I made myself a list of 30 things and I was SUPER excited and then I got pregnant.

Now, were we trying for a fourth child? No. Am I sorry I got pregnant? At the time it was rough but, after a day or two, I was beyond excited! Now, life with Cooper just makes sense. Our family needed that chill little man and we are so blessed to have him.

I will be documenting almost all of these on Instagram so if you want to keep up on my journey, follow me here: https://www.instagram.com/tomorrowisamotherdayblog/

Now that my birthday is coming around the corner I have added more to my list and I’m ready for the next month. This list is full of BIG and little things I’ve never done that have piqued my interest. I will give more insight into some of them, and some are pretty explanatory. Here is a list of the 31 New Things to try before I turn 31:

My 31 New Things List

1. Go on a picnic
2. Create a vision board – This is something I’ve been very interested in doing. I have watched a few people do them but I’m excited to create my own!
3. Dance in the rain – a cliche I know but I just keep thinking about how cool it would be to dance in the rain with my kids. They would love it!
4. Go wine tasting – Luke and I are not big wine drinkers but I think that’s because we need to sample a few wines and find ones we like. We already booked a wine tasting and tour for the end of the month and I’m super excited!
5. Temporarily dye my hair a “crazy” color – Now this one I might really regret because I want to do a bold color. Maybe pink or blue.
6. Go to the “Jumbo”
7. Watch a classic movie that I haven’t watched yet – This one is a little vague but I want you to suggest a classic movie and if I haven’t watched it, I will try! Let me know in the comments below a classic movie everyone should watch at least once in their life.
8. Learn to drive a stick shift
9. Go tech-free for 24 hours – This one might be rough but I’m going to try it! This includes TV and any use of my phone.
10. Go to Springfield – I think it would be nice to visit Illinois’ capital at least once in my life.
11. Shotgun a beer – Random I know but it’s something I have never done. So why not?!
12. Try embroidery
13. Finish reading a long classic novel– I am about 600 pages into Anna Karenina and I WILL finish it in the next month!
14. Have a “Forgiveness Day” – I saw this online a few months ago and I thought it was a beautiful idea.
15. Do a solo photoshoot
16. Get a tattoo – I keep saying I’m going to do this but then I remember it will be on my body FOREVER!
17. Contact an old friend to see how they are doing
18. Go to a small business bookshop– I have shopped at big chain bookstores and I usually buy from Amazon but I really want to visit a local small business bookstore. You can look for small business bookstores at: https://bookshop.org/ You can buy the books online from the small business too!
19. Go to a movie theatre and watch a movie by myself
20. Declutter one whole room– my plan for this is to clean and declutter my bedroom. It’s a mess!
21. Read the number one book from the NYT Bestseller list this month
22. Watch the Best Picture from the Oscars– The movie is called Coda
23. Watch Best Drama/Comedy from the Emmys– I will try to binge-watch Succession or Ted Lasso.
24. Listen to Album of the Year from the Grammy’s– The album of the year was We Are by Jon Baptiste
25. Try float therapy
26. Write 4 things I’m grateful for every morning this month – I already have a super cute notepad that I will share on IG if you want to check it out!
27. Write letters to each child – I want to start writing letters to my children. I read it in a book and it sounded so cute and I’m an extremely sentimental person.
28. Try Thai food
29. Watch a Western movie– I’m sorry to admit I have never watched a Western before. So, let’s see what I’ve been missing.
30. Watch the scary movie Halloween
31. Go vegan for a week – Going vegan would be really cool and I thought a week would be doable. The no cheese thing might be hard for me but this month is all about trying new things.

Final Thoughts

As you can tell by some of the things on my list I won’t be doing 31 new things every day. Some days I plan to try a few things at a time because some of the things on my list take longer than a day to do (see: go vegan for a week.) I’m starting this bucket list on Monday, October 17th which is exactly one month until I turn 31. I plan on keeping you guys updated on IG, FB, and my weekly newsletter. So please follow me on all platforms and sign up for my email list.

I’m beyond excited to try all these new things! It’s going to be a fun last month as a 30-year-old. Since I’m a planner, I will be taking the weekend to plan out when I will be doing most of these things. If there’s anything on my list you’re super excited to see let me know in the comments below. Also, what’s something new you want to try this year/ I love hearing from you guys!

Thanks for Reading
