26 Things to do Before 26

It seems like I love making things a series on this blog. As this will be my third addition of this style of post. Which is kind of crazy; it feels like I made them yesterday, never mind years ago. The things in the list are personal to me, rather than a general list for everyone, but I hope it gives you ideas, if you want to make your own list. Some of the things are small and some will take more effort, but I’m looking forward to giving it a go.

This is 26 things to do before 26.

1 . Blog More Often

At the minute, I’m really into blogging and I want it to continue throughout the year. I’m not going with consistently, as I’m ok with missing a day or two if it stops the burnout.

2. Lose Weight

This might not have made the yearly goals, but it’s made its way here. I really want to lose a bit of weight, and I’m feeling motivated.

3. Use my Spending Spreadsheet

At the start of the year I created a spreadsheet to track my spending, but now the challenge is to fill it out all through the year.

4. Get Better at Time Management

I can be a little too laidback with when it comes to time management, and I want to get better at it. I suppose not everything has to be done at the last minute.

5. Bake Something New Every Month

This is a way for me to get better at baking, as I mentioned in my 2022 goals. I just want to get better and try new things and techniques.

6. Have a Successful Project 10 Pan

I never thought I’d start a project pan, but now that I have; I want it to go well.

7. Find Finishing Touches for the Living Room

The living room is the room that has had the most attention since we moved it, and now it needs some finishing touches.

8. Think Wisely Before Buying Clothes

I don’t buy new clothes regularly, but I want to curate a wardrobe of classics that I can wear again and again.

9. Read More Often

I love reading, but don’t do it as much as I would like.

10. Drink More Water

My water intake is nowhere near where it should be, so I should probably work on that one.

11. Scrapbook Again

I’ve had a scrapbook for a long time now, but I haven’t added to it in ages. Which means I have a pile of things ready to go in.

12. Use the Streaming Services I Pay For

This mainly applies to Netflix, as I don’t use it half as much as I should.

13. Do More Things Out of My Comfort Zone

You know what they say, life happens when you step out of your comfort zone. Or something like that…

14. Get Back into Pinterest

I’d say my Pinterest is more personal rather than blog focused, but I want to start making blogging pins again.

15. Find New Blogs to Read

I’m always on the hunt for blogs to read, and I think its time that I make an effort to find some new ones.

16. Get Fitter

My fitness is pretty (very) poor and something I should definitely try and improve.

17. Keep on Top of Instagram Photos

I post daily on Instagram, so keeping a backlog of photos helps to keep me on track.

18. Say Yes More Often

I feel like this is a tricky one to get right, but this will help me to get out of that comfort zone.

19. Don’t Push Myself Too Hard

I included this in my 2021 goals, and it’s something that I know I need to implement every year.

20.  Use My Journal

This didn’t go so well last year, but I’ve started using it again and filling it out every day.

21. Take More Pictures

I take a lot of photos of things, but I’d like to get more photos of me. Maybe I’ll start featuring myself on my blog soon…

22. Get into a Better Sleeping Routine

I must admit that my sleeping habits aren’t as bad as they used to be, but I want to start getting up earlier and working out before seven.

23. Travel

I love experiencing new places and would love to get away.

24. Learn Not to Care What Others Think

I’ve definitely gotten better at this with age, but I still need to improve on it.

25. Be Happy

Possibly the most important thing on this list.

26. Make 25 One To Remember

You know when you look back to a year and immediately remember all of the good times? That is what I’m hoping for 2022.

There we have it, that was 26 Things to Do Before 26.

What is something you want to do before your next birthday?

Thank you for reading!

    These are great! I used to do scrapbooking and then digital scrapbooking. It’s something I should keep up with as well for family memories. I’m also working on most of these. Zero success on the weight loss though. I wish you a lovely year!

    I love reading these! It helps me think of things I want to achieve during the next year! I mentally have started a project pan, but still haven’t written down my post yet! This is my first year doing so, so I’m super excited to use up some products. I think I want to up my blogging game, and write posts I’m really proud of. I feel like I’m so inconsistent with writing high quality blog posts (at least in my opinion), and I want to be better this year! Great post Han xx

    These are lots of great goals to have! Good luck with them all! I think Number 8 about being more considerate with shopping is a good one! I’ve really noticed a difference in my shopping habits over the past few years when I try buy things I can wear at least 30 times. I set myself a challenge to wear everything twice the month I buy it too which helps greatly with making sure I buy things that work for me!

    Hope that you are having a nice week 🙂 It’s a big week here – first week of school for the kids after the summer holidays!

      I am so glad you think so, thank you! That’s a great idea to have when shopping, and I love the idea of wearing something twice in the same month. As I can fall into the trap of buying something and then not wearing it for a while. Thank you, and I hope you are too! Aw, I hope it went well for them xx

How on earth is it October already?!😳

September has literally flown by and I feel like I’ve missed all of the autumn decor in the shops as you can tell from the lack of pumpkins😭

It’s time to make up for it and get a visit to a pumpkin patch in the diary👀

We had the shock of our lives walking in the garden centre to a massive Christmas tree at the beginning of September😂

A cafe that provides stuff for colouring is a huge win❤️ @jacksonsnurseries 

Just ignore the chocolate pot on the side😂

Feather wand, but make it a stick #bluey 

The staff at @trenthamestate are always so lovely and let the kids sit on the tractors🚜

Our only bit of a Halloween so far😂

Theres always time for a @snugburys pit stop😋

We made it to our favourite afternoon tea spot! @therabbitholetearoom never disappoints 😍

Never a monthly recap without a farm visit🫏

Any green tractor is @tractorteduk apparently😂

Mummy and Ella time at the farm❤️

Not what I was expecting to find in September😂
🌺 August 🌺 I’ve been pretty quiet on here for the 🌺 August 🌺

I’ve been pretty quiet on here for the last month, and not a lot of photos to show for it either😅

We did have the best time celebrating Ella’s second birthday and sneak in some family time before Noah goes to nursery🥺

I must say that I’m ready for a new month and a fresh start

Note to self: take more photos😅

We’re big @tractorteduk fans in this house 🚜

It’s not a monthly recap without ice cream😋 @bidleadairy 

Ella’s setup ready for the morning🥹

❤️❤️❤️

We spent the day at @blackpoolzoo to celebrate Ella’s birthday and had such a lovely time🐯

Even if she did try to ditch us for the sea lion show😂

The baby elephant was a highlight🥹

Our little diva❤️

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?
