For example, when you do 31, 27 can be your acceptance speech (whether you've been asked to give one or not!). 40 at a 36 (flash mob a blood drive with MJ's Thriller - DO IT!!!).<br /><br />I'm going to make one of these immediately. Love it so much. Let's try to figure out a way to check one off together. I'm already on the bone marrow registry and I have no desire to EVER go to New York City thankyouverymuch, but a girl's weekend in Cali could certainly go a long way to accomplishing 8, a portion of 26, 33, 35, and if we are feeling particularly brave, maybe 39.

Let's be on the lookout for awesome combinations of achievement like:<br /><br />Take a tap dancing class in a hot air balloon<br />Give blood while getting a tattoo<br />Run a half marathon through the Redwoods while listening to a Rosetta Stone language mp3 of "Hello" in 20 language. <br /><br />Go!<br /><br />P.S. I joined the bone marrow registry a few years ago. It was sort of a tough decision to commit to be a donor if the need arise because it is no small matter to actually go through the donation process. My rationale was that I would desperately want someone to donate to my kids if they needed it, so I should be willing to donate to someone else's children (everyone is someone's child, right?). <br />Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18180441991412777509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042830290962528942.post-11491675987381167072013-06-04T07:41:27.611-05:002013-06-04T07:41:27.611-05:00Great list, Sam!

I can absolutely relate to the "advising no more pregnancies" thing - although Issac and I were so sure we were finished months and months before my diagnosis, it was so difficult to hear someone ELSE tell me that I was finished.

I adore book recommendations as well - there are so many out there that it would be easy to miss a great one! Currently, Amelia loves "Press Here" by Herve Tullet (which is more of an interactive game than a book, I suppose) and she also really enjoys the Mr. Putter and Tabby series - if Will has a long attention span, these might be great for him too!

M's in a Montessori school every morning and we LOVE it so much. <br /><br />If you're aiming for a Montessori home-preschool sort of environment, you might like the book "How to Raise an Amazing Child the Montessori Way" by Tim Seldin - we were given it shortly after M was born, and we really like it. It's got a lot of suggestions for implementing Montessori in the home, including information about creating your own versions of some of the materials.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042830290962528942.post-736500183032471322013-01-23T23:04:45.786-06:002013-01-23T23:04:45.786-06:00We unfortunately have the barf badge...
