List 12: Weekly Rituals

Do you do something each week? Specific TV shows you watch, a special dinner on a certain night, or a class you take early in the morning? Let's hear about them!


List 12: Weekly Rituals


At least, those are my goals each week. I can tell you this much...I eat lunch out of the office each Friday, that one won't be messed with ;) I work next to a mall and across the street from some awesome eateries so it is hard to resist spending my lunch hour out of the office!

What are your weekly rituals?

List 11: Date Night Ideas

For today's list, start brainstorming some DATE NIGHT Ideas!!

It is Friday, after all...... :)

We do NOT mean only romantic dates (although, that is what I listed below) - Think also about best friend dates, parent-child dates, or by-yourself dates ...

Be creative!

My list happens to be Los Angeles-centric:

30lists  004


As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

The IMAGE is from one of our date nights .... On a late Sunday afternoon, my husband and I picked up a pizza to go, grabbed a roll of paper towels and drove out to Malibu for dinner on the beach. There was almost no one there that close to sunset .... It was so peaceful and amazing!

Text reads:
pizza on the beach at sunset, record shopping at a thrift store, coffee and the Getty museum, Annenberg photography center, walk around the neighborhood, cook dinner and Netflix, morning hike followed by Menchies

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants' have come up with and add your own list!

Your Take on List #9

Here are some of your favorite sites!








I made it through 180 of your Flickr uploads this morning, I am loving all the comments left by others and hope you check back on your photos for those little love notes! 

Also, please remember to post the 30 Days of Lists button on your blog, after this challenge is over, it will be a great ice-breaker for all of us if we know where we've 'met' before :)

Lastly, I love reading the tweets you are posting on Twitter! Be sure to use the hashtag #30Lists so we can see it show up in our search bars! You may get a response you weren't expecting/some loving RTs!

Love, Kam

List 9: Favorite Websites/Blogs

Today's list focuses on where we spend a fair amount of our time while on the internet! I think many (if not all!) of us can think of a handful of fun blogs/websites/social media sites we enjoy ;)

List 9: Favorite Websites/Blogs


Here's my list for the day :) The paper is itty bitty--about the size of my hand--so I had to make this list count! I mentioned in a few comments left on the Flickr group that my writing is ginormous, so squeezing these words onto this sheet of paper was a challenge in-and-of-itself. I also wanted to photograph my list this way so you can see the backsides of my previous lists :D I love little surprises like that.

For those not familiar with Reserve America, it is an amazing website I use to make reservations for my camping trips, and it gives you a good idea of what to expect at each campground. I love using it! Also, Yelp! is a user-based review website for stores/restaurants/places of business. Like Foursquare, this site lets you check-in, earn badges, and become the duke/duchess of places you frequent. love, love, love.

What are your favorite websites/blogs?

Speaking of websites/blogs, you can read about Amy, Justine, and me and our lives outside 30 Days of Lists on each of our blogs, respectively. Also, be sure to leave a link to your website/blog in the thread labeled Introductions on the Flickr group, so others can find you :)

List 8: In My Bag featuring Moorea Seal

Good morning! We are so excited to introduce one of our gifted sponsors to guest post today!

For today's list, take a look at what you carry around every day - What is in your bag?

If you don't have a purse, maybe your backpack or camera bag or computer bag? If no bag, what do you keep in your pockets? What else do you need to have with you at a moment's notice?

Today Moorea Seal is going to show us what is in HER bag!




Hi there everyone! I'm Moorea from moorea-seal.com. Today I'm going to give you a little tour of "What's in my bag Backpack!" As much as I love purses, I have a lot of heavy things that I carry around everyday and I prefer the balance and support that my body gets from using a backpack rather than a purse. Plus, I'm 24 and I figure I can still get away with toting around a backpack for a few more years :)







These are all of the essentials for my backpack. Since I work from home at least 12 hours a day, I can go a little stir crazy being held up inside of my tiny apartment. So my backpack and I usually visit a coffeeshop once every 1-2 days just to keep the work day spicy and fresh. It's helpful that my boyfriend is a barista too. :)





So here's my list of everything in my backpack:

1. Pens, Pencils, and Erasers. I'm a professional Illustrator and obsessive list maker so my bag of goodies is a necessity!

2. Cell Phone. I have a Droid. It works well but I still dream about having an iphone instead :)

3. Wallet. I don't really like the color red, but I figured, hey, if I get a red wallet, I'll never lose it because it's the only red thing I'll own and it's bright color will make it easy to find. (I'm really forgetful.)

4. My little notebook. This is where I keep ideas for blog designs (I'm a blog designer for Freckled Nest). I'm usually toting around this notebook or one of two others that help keep my mind sane juggling lots of jobs.

5. Chapsticks. Despite the constant rain in Seattle, the air sucks all the moisture out of ya. Chapstick options are a must.

6. Daily Planner. I love this planner by Moleskin. My everyday lists are usually huge and this manages to hold big lists in a perfectly sized small planner. It's also red so I can find it when I lose it, heehee.

7. Keys. My boyfriend got me a pretty little wooden key chain that has a secret storage compartment. I love it, but have yet to figure out what secret small things to stash inside.

8. Dried Cranberries. I'm always craving sweets. These help with my sweets lust.

9. Tiger's Milk Protein Bar. Once again, always craving chocolate, so at least with this I get a little protein too. :)

10. Little Earphones. These are a must for coffeeshop hopping. Some coffeeshops play the loudest, worst music ever.

11. Drawing Pad. I'm an illustrator! I draw most everything by hand.

12. Macbook. Ah, one day I'll have enough money for a Macbook Pro upgrade. One day...

13. Custom Laptop Case. Isn't it so pretty! I took that photo myself of a friend, and a laptop case company had it printed on the case. I can't remember the company's name though... shoot.


So there you have it! That's everything I need day to day in my backpack. What are some essential staples in your purse of backpack? I'd love to see some photos!

List 7: Blog Goals

Well, this is a good topic, because, I think its safe to say we all love blogs. And, theres a big chance a lot of us have blogs, which then means we most likely have a lot of blog goals! Yay! See why I am loving all of these prompts? There are so applicable to my life, I love writing them all down. So, my blog, A New Beginning. It is/was my 3rd blog in a span of a year, I kept deleting my blogs and starting new. But this time, I am keeping myself sane, organized, and I have reasonable blog goals! Here there are:




This list includes:
*Keep her up and running for over a year.
*Finalize a weekly feature.
*Meet some of the incredible ladies!
*Open up design shop again.
*HAVE A BLOG PARTY (before summer).
*Blog 5x a week again.
-----------------------------------
Don't have a blog? 
Tell us about your writing goals! 
Kam's writing goals:
  • Respond to pen pal letters as soon as I read them
  • Write to my grandmother at least twice a month
  • Master the art of the semicolon

Your Take: List 6!

I love getting to do these posts, the "Your Takes" because I love going through the flickr! You are all so talented and creative!!









I am up tomorrow, and I really think a lot of you are going to like tomorrows prompt, it was hard not to write a million things!

List 6: Least Favorite Words

Hi, it's Kam. These are a few of my least favorite words and phrases...the first one is in code because I hate the word that much! If you're a Sex in the City fan, you'll be able to decipher it. UGH. The others have a story behind them, but I'm not that interesting ;)


Justine here, I am going to be honest, this was a hard list for me to come up with, I guess I don't have words I hate, unless they are hurtful. <3


30Lists  006

The above is my list (Amy) ... Like Justine, there's not a ton of words I don't like.
So I changed the list prompt and noted some of my favorite words!

ex: I kind of love the word 'amiable' since it has my name in it :)

What are your least favorite words and why?
