Dana says
Honestly, I don't really have a bucket list. I would love to travel with my husband when we are empty nesters, but that's all I can really think of off the top of my head. Probably why I skipped linking up this week – too lazy to think too hard!
My recent post This is why I love you – a birthday message to my son
Janine Huldie says
And this is why I dug deep into the past to get me to where I am now on this one Dana. I truly feel blessed for what I have and not sure I have the right to ask for much more. But then again, I can dream just slightly and that was the best part of this post to be able to voice the fe dreams I have!! 🙂
Betty Taylor says
It seems like you are living your dreams! What a lovely family!
My recent post I did it! I made my first Paleo Pizza!
Janine Huldie says
I am Betty and for that I cannot thank god enough for all the wonderful things he has given me in my life!!
gigigirl says
I guess I did most of what I wanted in my adult life….nothing very exciting but what was important to me. And so….no bucket list. But I can dream about winning the lottery big! You'd have your house in a minute then…..and that trip to Disney. I'll keep buying tickets and keep dreaming! Love ya……..have a good weekend……
Janine Huldie says
I love you Aunt Gloria and so with you on winning big on the lotto. Someday maybe and you know we would share the wealth!! Hope you too have a great weekend and send love xoxo 🙂
Billybuc says
I've never given much thought about a bucket list…..I guess become a successful writer, whatever that means…take Bev to Europe….give her some financial security….blah, blah, blah….LOL Nothing spectacular I'm afraid.
Have a great Friday Janine and thanks for being you.
Janine Huldie says
And thank you for being you, too Bill. Wishing you all of the above and then some my friend!! 🙂
Dani Ryan says
Fingers crossed you get that house soon! 🙂
I've never given much thought to my bucket list. Hmmm. Gotta work on that one!!!
My recent post 10 reasons I have a love-hate relationship with being pregnant
Janine Huldie says
Thank you so much for that Dani and seriously hope you work on your bucket list, too. Would truly love to hear what you would include!!! 🙂
Lisa @ Golden Spoons says
My bucket list really only includes traveling more, seeing my children grow, and having something actually published. I took the easy way out and just gave an update on our Summer Bucket list! I love how you looked back at how your list has changed!
My recent post Summer Bucket List Update
Janine Huldie says
I loved you list and certainly was an awesome way to respond to this sentence. Seriously, so enjoyed and thank you again for joining us!! 🙂
Sarah Rudell Beach says
Yes on the traveling, and the publishing, and I LOVE the Father of the Bride house! And how wonderful that so many items from your list have come true!
My recent post What Would You Do If You Weren’t Afraid?
Janine Huldie says
Thanks Sarah and trust me I truly can't believe how blessed I have been so far. But, of course, would love the book to be published and traveling would be nice, too!! 🙂
stephsprenger says
You know, I would add visiting DisneyWorld every single year to my bucket list. That would be my dream. Is that dumb? 🙂
My recent post Why I Can’t Wait for the Next Blogging Conference
Janine Huldie says
Not silly at all Stephanie and love your dream!! 🙂
ourhomeonderanged says
You guys are so cute and have worked so hard, you totally deserve that house with picket fence. And yes, I'd love to have the Father of the Bride house! But being a famous author…oh, girl. Every day wish. 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Thank you so much Melissa and I know still love that house from Father of the Bride, just such a beautiful, classic house!! And here is to us both being published and recognized someday real soon!! 🙂
Karen says
so love how you crossed items off your bucket list…so cute…
OMG…I am with you on owning a house…doesn't it always work beautifully in movies? I want to visit Itally too!!!!!
My recent post Mommy’s Bucket List
Janine Huldie says
Karen, I know just can't wait to own that house and have something to call ours!! And thank you again for sharing your list, too with us!! 🙂
massholemommy says
GO TO DISNEY WORLD!! We go every year with the kids. We are taking them for the 5th time in October and the magic never gets old.
My recent post The Banana Margarita
Janine Huldie says
Oh so jealous and seriously can't wait to go someday soon in the future now!! 🙂
The Dose of Reality says
Great list. Italy is DEFINITELY on mine, too!! I like the way you talked about the things you had been able to cross off your list. When I look at it that way, I HAVE done a lot of things on my list too! I've never thought about it like that, though! Awesome! –Lisa
My recent post Pinterest Nightmare #625: The Hibermate
Janine Huldie says
I just started writing and this is where it took me, but I have to admit I was always a bit of a dreamer, so my list has been evolving over the years, so the way I wrote it just made sense to me and glad it did to you, too!! 🙂
Chris @HyeThymeCafe says
Good luck with the house! I keep hearing financial analyst talking about how home ownership should no longer be part of the "American Dream" and how it's not all it's cracked up to be, but I still hope to own my own home some day too! Even if that means you have to deal with all the upkeep yourself. Seems weird that they would suggest it being better to line someone else's pockets when you could be investing in yourself, but what do I know?? 😉
My recent post Lemon Candied Kale Chips
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so much Chris and I know crazy as it sounds I hope to be able to have to deal with the upkeep just in order to have a little something of our own. And I am so with you also in not wanting to pay someone else to rent for what could be mine in the end. It is like renting versus leasing a car, I never to be nonest go that either. But that is just me!! 🙂
MelChi says
I love your bucket list of ideas, and actually mine are pretty similar. I so badly want a place we can call our own, to be able to get all messy and PAINT walls and just plant a little garden at the back. I'd also love to have a family some day, and my biggest dream to date is still wanting to go overseas. Europe or America. One day…lol. Happy Friday! 🙂
Janine Huldie says
You know if you eve make to the US, specifically NY, would love to meet up with you!! And am so with you on being able to have a house and do decorating to our own liking, too!! Happy Friday right back at you Melanie 🙂
tamaralikecamera says
Definitely writing a book…having my photography in a gallery or show. Have my phone ringing off the hook with clients. Visit Alaska and see moose, wolves, whales and northern lights. Visit Hawaii in the middle of winter to escape this New England winter. Definitely Disney princesses for my daughter…
My recent post Ladies Only Blog Share Link Party: How Does Your Garden Grow?
Janine Huldie says
Tamara, your photography alone is amazing and truly do think you have such a wonderful shot of being famous for that alone. I really just love looking at your beautiful photos!! And yes to escaping to Hawaii during the NY winters, because they are just as cold, snowy and miserable, too!!
Cyndi says
Oh the bucket list…haha…it grows longer every time I check something off, haha.
I hope you have a wonderful Friday!
My recent post The Elizabethan Gardens: Wonderful Wednesday 6
Janine Huldie says
I am so with you as you can see on this Cyndi, that my list gets changing and evolving with the times!! And you too have a great Friday now 🙂
Ruchira says
Aaw! your dreams are precious and I wish they come true 🙂
Amen!
Voted for ya J9. Sorry have not been regular in your blogs lately…summer holidays are taking a toll and wanna kid back to school ASAP…lol
Janine Huldie says
Thank you so much Ruchira and trust me I too have been trying my best to keep up the last few weeks. So no need to apologize, because I think I have missed a few on the other end, too. So, we are totally even and just keep telling myself, "School starts soon!!" LOL!!! 🙂
GirlieOnTheEdge says
Wow! Sounds to me Janine that once you set your mind on something, something better watch out. LOL.
Great post today!
P.S. For sure go to Ireland. It is very beautiful. You'd love it.
Janine Huldie says
Lol and thanks Denise. I just can't help myself and do hope that it all works out though. And Ireland from all I have heard and seen from pictures is breathtaking, so I think you are 100% correct!!!
marykatbpcsc45 says
Such a great life. Sounds wonderful. Hope the rest of your dreams come true too.
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you so much Mary and truly appreciate all your kind words and good thoughts!! 🙂
Judy Haughton-James says
It is great that you have accomplished several things on your bucket list and I am sure you are going to achieve the others. All the very best to you and Kevin when you go in search of that house next year. Although I have not made a bucket list maybe something that I have thought about could go on that list – getting a book published! Interesting post with beautiful pictures. I wish you and your family a wonderful weekend Janine.
My recent post Question Time
Janine Huldie says
Thanks so much Judy and hoping that you do get that book published, too!! Also hoping you too have a great weekend now!! 🙂
NuggetOnABudget says
Thanks again Janine for this wonderful link up and the prompt for this week was great. I love making lists {as you know} so keeping bucket lists is fun for me. I'm actually doing really well with accomplishing my summer list and so as you saw I created another 35 in 35 list for today's link up. I agree that taking our girls to Disney is definitely very high up there on the list! Even if I'd take her now, Sofia would be in heaven. I love how you started out your post with the things you wanted to do as you were growing up, like getting married, having babies, etc. Isn't it funny how what we "want" to do changes so much in the matter of 10 or even 5 years? That's the fun part. Hope your day is going well and happy weekend mama! xoxo
My recent post bucket lists and such.
Janine Huldie says
Truly my pleasure and so glad you had so much fun with this one. And I do agree totally that it does change every few years what we want or need. But then again that is the beauty of us aging I suppose (as much as I would like time to stand still just a bit now). And my day is going pretty good and so hope yours is, too!! 🙂 xoxo!!
findingninee says
Oh Janine, how exciting that you'll be buying your first home in this next year! YAY for you and I think your bucket list is perfect. Also? I'm SO excited that I'll be a regular host now! Thank you so much 🙂
Janine Huldie says
Thank you so much Kristi and I was so rushing on your page to get my comment through worrying that your blog would stop working again. I think I transposed two letter in your name when typing, but really wanted you to know how happy I am that you are indeed joining us. Seriously so psyched and can't contain!!! Thank you for accepting and joining us, you made my week!!! 🙂 xoxo!!
Lanaya says

Oh thank you so very much and was so happy to see you join us today and share, too!! And hoping and sending good thoughts your way that you too will get to buy your first home shortly, as well!! 🙂

I like that you've gotten so far on your list. I wish you tons of lucks on buying your first home!! You're a woman who knows what she wants.
My recent post What Should Be In A Bucket List
Janine Huldie says
Oh thank you Maggie for your kind words and well wishes for me!! Seriously appreciate it!! 🙂
Rich Rumple says
Ah, the American Dream. A white picket fence surrounding a home with two cars and kids. I wish you well. Be careful of the fence though, in this this day and age, should someone fall on the fence and do injury to themselves, you'll be sued and probably lose the house and be living in the cars! lol Seriously, my friend, I hope your dreams come true and you live a fairy tale life.
Janine Huldie says
Oh man Richard way to crush a girl's dreams, lol!! But seriously thank you as always for you well wishes and just for being you!! Definitely put a smile on my face this morning 🙂
Brigid O'Malley says
Well, Janine, I FINALLY got around to writing a Finish That Sentence Friday! I've been meaning to do it forever, and I'm so glad I finally did.
I LOVE all your great pics, especially of your girls and the BAHAMAS. I can totally understand you wanting to go back there!
Okay, I'll be back later to do some more reading. 🙂
