I turned 40 recently which means it’s time for a new project!
So what is my 40 for 40 Project?
It’s a list of 40 things I want to do while I’m 40. This isn’t my first time doing this project… and I’ve shared a few of them on this blog:
- 37 Things Aged 37
- 38 Things
- 39 Before 40
- And I’ve also shared my original go at this project – 27 things aged 27!
I have a year to try and complete all 40 of these things. This year has some repeats of favourite activities (like my annual soundtrack, seasonal celebrations and a random me-day!) and some new ones too. A lot of sewing made the list this year. And lots of fun.
I’ve already made a start and ticked a couple of things off! (Can you guess which ones?).
