I do what?!

On the eve of my 33rd birthday I thought it would be fun to reflect on some things. Some things that I never, ever thought I'd be doing in my thirties. I know, I know. Thirty-three is still so young for thirties but here it is:

1. I make my own laundry detergent. 
2. I've gave birth to a child at home. 
3. I make sushi. 
4. I'm now an introvert. Unless I drink too much. Okay, maybe only two and my former extrovert self starts gabbing and dancing. 
5. I have a green smoothie every morning. 
6.  I make Elderberry Syrup. Don't know what that is? Best go getch yourself some. 
7. We no longer have cable, but Netflix has sucked us into their endless black hole. 
8. I homeschool the children. 
9. I am still breast feeding my almost two year old. 
10. I am obsessed with using essential oils. For health. For aromatherapy. 
11. I desperately want to own a farm to raise chickens and honey bees. 
12. I am a Girl Scout leader. 
13. I went from drinking my coffee black to drinking it with cream. WTH? Who does that?!
14. I drive a minivan. 
15. I like to read Deepak Chopra books. 
16.  I'm officially addicted to Pinterest. It used to annoy the shit out of me (when I worked full-time), but now I loooove (because now I stay home + homeschool).
17. I make a mean curry. 
18. I love to create stuff. Even if my work is slightly inspired by another's. 
19. I don't shop at Wal-Mart. 
20. I went vegan, back to meat, and now vegetarian. 
21. I have some very meaningful friendships that didn't develop until after 30.
22. I just found out during Christmas that I love sewing. Gifts, clothes for the kids, pillows. Next mission is to make something for myself. 
23. Discovering my husband is truly my perfect match. 
24.  I love to garden, even if it looks like a disaster. Shit, I yield more tomatoes than a tidy garden. 
25. I swear around my kids. 
26.  I'm a closet hoarder. Isn't that how it works?
27. I use cloth diapers.
28. I shop at Aldi. They have a pretty decent organic selection. 
29. Just started making my own yogurt. Woot woot. 
30. Practice gratefulness everyday.
