*update* There’s just so much to see, learn, do, and capture. Why limit myself and my list? I can’t. So maybe I’ll be forever adding.
Nice list!
I will admit, I am with you on #14. I am terrified of water and would love to know how to swim. I’m thinking of taking lessons with my toddler!
If you ever make it to Orlando, I can help you with #76. I am a Magic season ticket holder and would love to help you achieve your “bite the dust” list.

I was just reading a life-list on another site, so interesting to read the things people want to do…and check off the thing you have already done! Love this and hope you do each one!

What a fantastic list. I think I should write one too. Thanks for the inspiration.

Love your bucket list! What a wonderful idea! Trump’s hair? Let me know if that stuff is for real!
Oh wow… wait until we meet – I wanna take you out for some kick-ass sushi! Not being able to eat sushi is the only thing that I hate about pregnancy… well, that and people asking me if I am carrying twins *eye roll* (I wish!)

I would SO play hopscotch with you if I was there! I love that game! You have to write sing out loud on a list to do it? LMAO!!!

You’d better get started.

Eek! I squealed a little when I read #75. I have a bookshelf that I painted purple. It might be my favorite piece of furniture.
I love your list. Any mom who builds a treehouse for her kids should get an award, in my opinion. I always wanted one when I was a kid, and lamented that lack. I still lament it a little, whenever I see a really sturdy, treehouse-worthy tree.
Your list is great – very down to early for most things, and some really lofty goals. I don’t quite have a bucket list, unfortunately. Most weeks, I just want to get to Friday
Tea Parties and Oprah would have made my list too.
Girl you got to start living!! Great list!
Wow, what an ambitious list, especially #53 to #56. Learning English (I immigrated to the US when I was 10) was hard enough. Good luck!

I really enjoyed your list. It was realistic and adventurous.
I’m loving your list! Number 81 sounds like an interesting thing. I might like to try it…even though I hate myself in photos most of the time.
