I realize the title of this page, Before I Procreate, may seem a bit strange. I’m going to attempt to explain… It was spawned out of a conversation with my mom. One day I was going over all the things I wanted to accomplish and she referred to it as my bucket list. I stopped and thought about it for a second and realized that I have much, much more I’d like to accomplish before I die. These were things that I wanted to do before having kids. Thus, my before I procreate list was born. Some of them are totally silly, some (according to my husband) are irresponsible, but all are totally me! As I complete each of these, I’ll make a note with the date next to it.

That’s a great list! I wanted to go skydiving and learn to fly a small plane before having kids but my husband and I were blessed with our daughter sooner than we planned 😉
Thanks! That just means that you get to include your daughter in your flight plans now. Just think how cool that will be for her!
Love this! Inspiring list!
Thanks! I know it’s totally random but I’m kind of a random person so it fits me perfectly. 🙂
How close are you to NoLa….
If I ditch MCM I might take 2 months off and then run the full there since it is 4 months after Marine Corp and would give my body way more time to heal.
Yes!!! That would be awesome, Abby!

I need to publish my bucket list – it motivates my life on a daily basis, but I really just have it in my head. I love yours! Lots of fun things 🙂
