A bucket list isn’t hard to do. One day I sat and thought about the things I’ve done with my life, with my children, with my husband, and friends and it dawned on me. There was so much more I wanted to do. I knew I needed to make a bucket list and get to working on the things I wanted to do.

Have you ever made a bucket list? It’s basically a list of things you want and would love to do. A lot of people say its what you want to do before you kick the bucket but that sounds so like the end to me!

My bucket list is things I want to accomplish before I am 50!

If you read my post on 5 Boss Moves You Should Make in your 40s then you know I am all about not just living, not just saying oh well I am middle age and theres nothing super exciting or fabulous I can do now. Yes!!! You can do whatever your heart desires and age is nothing but a number.

We are amazing and fabulous right?

Well, here is my list of what I want to do before I am 50:

Go to Africa
Take an adventure to Antarctica
Go to Australia
Travel to Asia
Go to Europe
Visit South America
See the Eiffel Tower
Visit the Louvre Museum
Go to Dubai
Sightsee to Thailand
Go to Marrakesh

Visit the remaining 16 states that my children and I did not get a chance to visit. When they were younger we used to take trips a lot and tried to go to every state. But alas they grew up and it makes me sad.

As I accomplish these, I will come back and update my list! What’s on your bucket list? What special places do you want to go or special adventures do you want to go on? Leave a comment and let us know. Someone else may want to go there too!

Have you ever seen the movie The Bucket List or read the book? It’s a great movie and will make you laugh and cry at the same time.
