My List

March 18, 2012 by Sheila | A B & Me 1 Comment

Over a year ago, I started doing my “list” of things to do before I reach 35. I was able to cross out at least 7 out of 35 things. (pathetic, I know). I wasn’t able to finish them all before my deadline but I would want to cross them all out one day. (I’m not going to put any “end date” anymore).

 
1. Get insured – *new goal*
2. Make a Candle 
3. Host a theme party (80’s? Ugly Sweater? etc)  – Hawaiian themed party during winter!!
4. Learn basic cake decoration 
5. Dress up and have proper “dinner” with family 
6. Buy Mom a piece of Jewelry 
7. Open a Savings Account
8. Achieve my ideal weight
9. Run a marathon
10. Have an emergency fund.
11. Try a proper Moroccan Bath 
12. Learn Another Language
13. Attend a concert
14. Learn to play an instrument
15. Have a portrait of myself.
16. See a stage play 
17. Take more photos  – my favorite subject:  my princess!
18. Try Indoor Skiing
19. Take the day off on my birthday.
20. Donate Blood
21. Fire a Gun
22. Movie Marathon: Lord of the Rings
23. Have a family reunion (parents & siblings)
24. Hot Air Balloon Ride
25. Try Ice Skating
26. Watch 1o Best Movies Ever Made
27. Defeat King Koopa!!
28. Have an “Indoor” [Herb] Garden
29. Earn Extra $$
30. Make our family tree
31. Do Volunteer Work
32. Wear a wig and false lashes
33. Breastfeed for at least 6 months
34. Be A MOM (and not screw it up!)
35. Be a better person 
 
This list will be a part of this blog from now on. I’ll post updates every time I’m able to cross something out. I might also be adding stuff as I go along. 
 
36. Try wall climbing!
 
Thank you for another year!

Hey there! I’m a mom of two who loves to crochet. Balancing work and motherhood is crazy, but I handle it with love and humor. With my eldest entering her tween years, the chaos just got a whole lot more interesting!

I’m fueled by coffee and dream of working from home. When I need to chill, I turn to my trusty essential oils. They’re my secret weapon for staying sane in the madness.

Join me for mom life, crochet, and my journey to work from home and retire before life passes me by.

Hello!

Hey there!
We’re a Filipino family of four figuring things out in California after living in Dubai for years. This space is part blog, part memory box—where we share life lately, parenting wins and fails, travels, and everything in between.

Sometimes it’s deep, sometimes it’s funny, but it’s always honest. Thanks for hanging out with us!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO I’ve been thinking a lot about the whole “YOLO” mindset. It sounds fun — and sometimes it IS harmless. But when we let it guide our decisions without pause… it can turn into a habit of acting first, thinking later. 

This post is just something I made to process that idea. What if we shifted from the YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE to YOU ONLY DIE ONCE? 

It’s not being a buzzkill. It’s about modeling self-control, delayed gratification, and faith in action—even when it’s not popular. 

What do you think: YOLO or YODO?

Ps. I shared more of the story behind this thought over on @threads if you’re curious (same handle!)

You’re really a hard habit to break.
