So I wrote a life list.
A list of a hundred things I want to do in my lifetime.
and I thought now that’s a great idea.
And you know what?
I ended up learning a bit about myself in the process.
You should try it.
From the most simple,
to the most extravagant,
to the utterly ridiculous,
these are my dreams:
1. Run a marathon
I would love to know three things on your life list!
**********************************************************
Next weeks I SPY theme:
All things HANDMADE
{gifts, crafts, things you find shopping, whatever–so long as its homemade}
Missy
Who is the prophet?
Love your list and this idea, I want to do it myself!! 🙂
Ashley @ Little Miss Momma
Just added a link to the Prophet Missy 😉 xoxo, ashley
elise
I love this! Can I meet Kelly Ripa with you? Also, can we go ice skating after? Because I am heart broken for you that you've never gone ice skating!
Mandi@MandiBeingCrafty
I love the host a Gone With the Wind party! I would LOVE it!!!
Tahnie
I adore everything about this list. 🙂
Three things from mine?
1) Tell my story/write my memoir
2) Go to France (I did that one!)
3) Earn my Bachelor's degree (Hey I did that one too! 😉
You've inspired me to write my own list! I better get at it. 🙂
xoxo.
Lisa
for the liquid eyeliner part, do these felt-tip eyeliner pens count? Because I couldn't work out how to use liquid eyeliner if you pu a gun to my head, but the pens I've mastered in no time 🙂

Mighty Girl inspired me to create my life list! You and I have alot of the items in common! You can check it out on my blog!
http://www.forthelove26.blogspot.com
i may have to steal a few of your ideas for mine!
loved it!
Free Pretty Things For You
oh and the way i learned how to put liquid eyeliner was doing it in pencil first and then tracing it over and over until i got the hang of how it flowed and it worked! 😀

LOVE this, I have been going to create a list for a while but just never get around to it. I will have to sit down with a pen and paper and have some me time (away from the kiddos) so that I can figure out a couple of my desires in life.
Laughing at your peace toe ring tattoo only because I want a little heart tattoo (possibly in white) and I am mormon (sorry to my hubs too) I just can't help but want 1 little tiny one lol
{just.lovely.things}
um its funny that each time you talked about a horse (#20 & #63) you then mentioned something about a weapon immediately after ;p
1) have a monthly crafters party (wine and cupcakes mandatory!)
2) get to a healthy and confident body weight
3) make a family with my husband!
Elle
I love love love your blog! Your crafts are simple (I need that, believe me!) but so cute! You seem to have a truly happy family which is so rare these days.
2tiaras
the best liquid eyeliner trick is you put it on BEFORE the eyeshadow and then lightly blend the eyeshadow down on to it a bit. It makes it look more polished and less drag queen!
Aileen
Amazing idea. I'll be following suit within the next week!
Nikke
I love your list. I did something a long time ago called My Bucket List. I've slowly been ticking things off.
The top 3 that I'm still working on:
1. Love Myself
2. Make a living doing what I love
3. Be happy
Thanks for sharing your list =]
mominrome
I love your list and love your blog!!! :))
Kara
I posted a 20 by 2020 list last month and it really is motivating. Already working on #1–learn to use my DSL in manual. 2 others–host a Thanksgiving dinner and learn to sew.
Meghan
I live in the Hamptons year round. Feel free to come visit anytime, LOL!!!
Erna
Love the list, I've done more on your list than on my own!
1. Start my own NGO helping underprivileged children in SE-Asia (check).
2. Love my job (check)
3. Travel to every country in the world (still working on it, but I'm young so plenty of time)
4. Being an Anthropologist with a wardrobe full of Anthropologie clothes (getting there)
Lindsay
Girl you inspire me! I love this list and find myself saying ME TOO as I am reading it 🙂 SO much in common 🙂 And I LOVE your idea of a tiny tattoo! Can I come with you to do it :)????
Rachel
I'm with you on number 41, I want to go on an archaeology expedition at some point.
I want to get an eiffel tower tattoo(tiny)preferrably when I go to France.
I want to go to Machu Picchu
Casey Martinez
I have to agree with a lot of the prior comments…you have inspired me too! I want to really think about what my life list would look like and I want to start tackling those things;0. Live life to the fullest..that is SO my motto!!
Thanks for sharing your list and that fantastic quote by Mark Twain!
Robin
That is an awesome list! When you do #98 you can stop by and say hello, because that is my part of the world!
Three things on my list…
1. Go back to the UK (where I served my mission) and explore for 2 weeks.
2. Be able to fit in my wedding dress again. :0)
3. See my children grow to be happy adults.
Aubrey
SO Awesome Ashley!
Floating down a river on a tube has got to be one of the best things ever. It's like you fall off the planet for a bit, and get to just soak up life.
If you learn how to make pasta you might get fat. I think I've gained 10 pounds since Christmas…What I'd get? A pasta attachment to my Kitchen aide!
I'll teach you how to french braid if you come take the gymnastics class I just signed up for with me! (UM, can I tell you the next morning I was scared to move?) See we'll both be able to flip on a trampoline again and maybe even back handspring 😉
The Balch Bunch
I love your list!! Go girl!
CAW
I love love love your blog
sign me up to come see you at a conference-
1. Have dinner with President Obama and Oprah to talk about God
2. Fly to Missouri to meet my bestie's adopted daughter

I love life lists! I started my bucket list a few years ago and have been able to cross a few things off (complete a triathlon, see Aerosmith in concert, earn my Master's), but there are still so many things I need to accomplish! Three of them are:
1. Swim in the Devil's Pool at Victoria Falls (don't know if I'm gutsy enough as I'm scared of heights.
2. Backpack across Europe
3. Learn to Weld
Oh, and I grew up in major cowboy/cowgirl/cowperson territory and I can tell you that, yes, cowgirls do wear chaps. Just not as often as the cowboys. Many rodeo queens wear fancy chaps and I the hard working cowgirls seem to go more for chinks, which are shorter.
suzie q.
After reading this, I need to make one! I already wrote a Letter to Me (inspired by YOU!) and this is definitely going to have to come enventually. Too bad there's a ton of stuff I wanna do in my lifetime!
1. have more babies!
2. become a nurse (in process)
3. visit anywhere in Europe.
4. Take a cruise w/ just my love.
5. Take my son to Disney World!

for the ice skating: there's a great skating rink not too far from you here in Simi Valley at the Iceoplex, we take our daughter there almost all the time and she loves it! she's even taken lessons there. and also for the bow and arrow shooting, here in simi as well, there is an archery range that we go to that is only $5, yes you read that right $5, for 4 hours of practice that includes all the equipment and there are tons of coaches around who will help you anyway you need. we were a little nervous about extreme hunter type/fantasy "oh i'm a archer from a woodland forest" type, and it's a good mix of both to some really normal people 😉 look up "conejo valley archers" in google for more info.
great list!!!
Therese
Love, Love, Love your list! You are so inspirational!
Ashley
I know how you can make #31 come true!!!
My current dream is to win a $5K grant I applied for through Pepsi Refresh for my service project called Suitcase4Soldiers. (visit suitcase4soldiers.blogspot.com to find out more).
I need as many votes as I can get, and it would be so cool if you could go vote for me! http://www.refresheverything.com/suitcase4soldiers

Three should be pretty easy. I am not sure that I could come up with 100 items. 1. Raise my boys to be Godly men who choose Godly women as wives. 2. Start and complete a Phd program. 3. Pay off our house before I am 50 so that we can buy a vacation home.
Erin
You inspired me to do my own 🙂

My list
1. Make a life list

Thank You! Great idea and I can't wait to start mine.
Have a GREAT weekend Ashley!

2- have the opportunity to take my children around the world
3- view a live birth (of a child)

Thank you for inspiring me to finally make a Life List of my Own.
You're wonderful Ashley!

I want to:
Adopt 2 children from Uganda.

If you're learning Spanish online , try using "uno" for "one" and "cena" in place of "dinner," and you do this as much as you can, the new words will soon feel like 'old' words.
Sherrel
Great list! One of my goals is to dig for Herkimer Diamonds in New York.
Kelsey
Now I really feel like I need to try this whole list thing. Though I love being a mother, sometimes I feel like my dreams or goals are a bit on hold – not true!
