Defining Wonderland 
Oh my, dear Jessica, 10 days have passed and you have not checked anything off yet? Not even Downton Abbey? Times a wasting! :))
Haha! That’s because I’m in the planning stages. Things are coming together, I assure you. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by to give me the guilt-ridden push!
No problem Jessica … LOL … living vicariously through your youth this year! Im turning 55 in July, so working on just making my list!
Well happy early birthday to you, Karen! My mom will be 55 next July, but she hasn’t expressed any desire to do something special. I’ll have to give her ideas…
Hey Jessica!
I find this an amazing idea! I’m still 7 years away from turning 30, but creating such a list seems like a great way to fulfil your dreams and such 😉 Would you mind if I created one too? I don’t want to ‘steal’ your idea without your permission of course!
All the best! X Iris
Hi Iris!
Thank you so much. You can absolutely create your own (I “stole” the idea from several other bloggers). Happy blogging!!! xoxo
Haha, thank you! 🙂
