30 Things My Kids Should Know About Me

One blog that inspires me to blog different is written by the Baby Making Mama, Jennifer Borget over at Baby Making Machine. Her blog is honest and inspirational. She is hilarious and is an open book. She has shared her journey through motherhood with her first and so far through her pregnancy with her second.

I came across her 30 things my kids should know about me blog post and was inspired. This is what sealed the direction I wanted to head in with this blog. I knew that when January hit, I was going to share the same 30 things.

Like Jenn, I won't be sharing these for 30 days straight, as suggested, but instead I am aiming for 2-3 months. I will come back and link every post to this list.

THE LIST:

1. List 20 random facts about yourself.
2. Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.
3. Describe your relationship with your spouse.
4. List 10 things you would tell your 16 year-old self, if you could.
5. What are the 5 things that make you most happy right now?
6. If you could have three wishes, what would you wish for?
7. What is your dream job, and why?
8. What are 5 passions you have?
9. List 10 people who have influenced you and describe how.
10. Describe your most embarrassing moment.
11. Describe 10 pet peeves you have.
12. Describe a typical day in your current life.

18. What do you think your spouse loves most about you?
19. How did you feel the moment you became a parent?

23. What’s your favorite holiday and why?
24. What’s your favorite and least favorite thing about parenthood?
25. If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be and what would you eat?
26. What popular notion do you think the world has most wrong?

28. What’s your favorite quality in your spouse?
29. What are your hopes and dreams for your prosperity?
30. List 10 things you would hope to be remembered for.

Looking through this list for the millionth time, I am eager to get started and cannot wait to share this with my littles. I feel that there are too many things that later in life parents forget about or forget to share. I want my kids to know where my dreams and aspirations stood when I was a mother to toddlers and how that may have changed as they grew.
