40 Before 40

Here we are again! I have absolutely LOVED completing my different challenges year to year, and you know me, I just can't help myself with an opportunity to make a list!

Taking on this challenge was really exciting for me. The 30 before 30 challenge only came into fruition about 18 months before I turned 30, so I couldn't really add anything too insane on there (although I did have another baby!). But this time, I have 10 whole years to complete the 40 goals, so was able to make a few a bit more lofty. I can't say that I won't do mini challenges here and there - because I like the feel of short term goals - but these will be some overarching concepts for sure. Jesus that sounded teachery of me...
