So I thought I would make a bucket  List that my younger self would have wanted. You can make one too! Now this list is not a list that says what car or house I want or how to advance my career and other realistic goals. (Although it is good to have a list of those things) This Little Bucket list is specifically for the impractical and not so realistic goals of a much younger version of yourself. If you could go back in time and make a bucket list as a child, what would you write? What silly unrealistic dreams did you once have? Then you can make a list of whatever you can remember and post it in the comments below. Here is my list:

• Be a pirate and sail the sea
• Ride in a hot air balloon or magic carpet
• Visit every city in the world
• Go to a masquerade ball
• Be a princess for a day
• Be a talented singer
• Be able to dance
• Be able to ice skate
• Discover something that’s never been discovered
• Explore space or the bottom of the ocean
• Go see a real ballet
• Start an orphanage and take care of all the unwanted children
• Design my own clothing
• Speak several Languages
• Get Married
• Be a musician and composer
• Have a pet monkey
• Be a mother
• Feel what its like to be a mermaid by scuba diving
• Be able to bake yummy things

So I know some of these are far fetched, but that’s the point. Anyways I can only cross off three things off my childhood bucket list. I married my best friend this summer and a few years ago I got to see the Royal ballet perform at The Palais Garnier in Paris. It was so beautiful I cried! More than once.

And the other one I can cross off is I am on my way to becoming a good singer! I am finally taking voice lessons this year. My whole life I dreamed of singing but was too scared to actually pursue it.  And now I am finally doing it, the surprising part is that I’m actually good at it! Hurray!

So now I am going to pick 2 things off my list and actually try to accomplish them. And when those are all done I am gonna pick 2 more!

1. I am going to restudy Italian, by buying the Pimsleur program from Barnes and nobles for Christmas.  And eventually I will by the French one too. And then hopefully the Russian one.

2. My hubby just ordered a book that has all kinds of artisan bread recipes in it! Once I start baking yummy things, I will put up a new post about how the recipes are coming along.

And there you have it, I am on my way to achieving some childhood dreams!!

So what about you guys? Why don’t you make a list, and share it in the comments. Then brainstorm and dream about how you could actually achieve it. Simplify it and start  with very small and realistic steps, but be as creative as possible! Then after you accomplish one, try do do another! Some of them may take time and that’s OK, just give it your best shot, your inner child will thank you. 🙂
