Monday Listicles: Before I Die...

Today I'm linking up with Stasha from the The Good Life for the Monday Listicles. Ally from TwoNormal Moms gave us the assignment of coming up with ten things we'd like to see before we die.


It was hard to narrow it down, but I gave it a go...

Ten Things I'd Like to See or Do Before I Die

1.  I'd like to write for a living.

2.  I'd like to travel the world.

3.  I'd like to see my children grow into adults and live happy, fulfilling lives.

4.  I'd like to see a woman as U.S. President.

5.  I'd like to see a Barbie doll with realistic body proportions.

6.  I'd like to see the idea of the perfect mom disappear.

7.  I'd like to see paid parental leave be provided when a child is born.

8.  I'd like to see organic foods becoming the norm and accessible to everyone.

9.  I'd like to see the political divide narrow and more members of both parties be able to come together to find solutions, rather than bicker constantly.

10. I'd like to see drug cartels disappear.

What do you want to see or do before you die?

  1. Oh my #7 being born in Europe I never knew to be an issue, but SO TRUE! I love your list, how simple and hopefully obtainable some of these hopes are. I cannot wait to buy all my Listicles folks books from Amazon and have them signed by you all. So excited for the future.

    1. I remember finding out when I was pregnant with my first that many other countries around the world have paid leave. It shocked me. It would be nice if we could get our priorities in order.
      Thanks for your support! :)
