Great list Caroline!

How about going somewhere that you have never been before? Even if it's just a roadtrip for the day?

Hi! I'm a new follower ~ found you through one of the project share's! I think your list is full of great things, and that you can achieve all of them!
I'm a music teacher, and I think no. 21 would be wonderful if you got your family involved with Kindermusik! It is REALLY cool, and would be educational and fun!

Have a great day!

What a great list! Upon reading it, I had no idea you are so young! I was not nearly as industrious when I was approaching 21. I haven't heard of avocado icing but I have a recipe saved for avocado milkshake and I'm dying to try it this summer.

Well, I would say go to Paris!!! I'm 41 and it's still on my to do list.

Plan a romantic getaway?

I second the call for composting (and recycling, if you don't already). Once you start composting you will be HORRIFIED with how much food truly goes to waste. Right now, since I live in an apartment, I just donate my compost to a community garden. But since you're getting that gorgeous house, you could definitely use it in a garden!

Also, take that sign language class with me. I knew it when I was younger because one of my cousins is deaf, but have long since forgotten it.

That's such an awesome list. I wish I would have been as industrious as you are at not yet 21. I'm training to run a half marathon this year. How do you feel about running?
