Kiki is 30!

Today, Kiki is joining the club and turning 30! As her slightly older, but wiser sister-in-law, it is my responsibility to make sure she is prepared. Because we share a love of lists, of course my birthday advice comes in list form. So hurry, Kiki, you are running out of time to get this list checked off! Hope you have a great birthday!

30 Skills Every Woman Should Have Before Turning 30

1. Hard-boil an egg

2. Diplomatically tell Mom (mine or yours!) to butt out

3. Ace a job interview

4. Ask a man out

5. Send a thoughtful thank-you note

6. Listen to a friend in need

7. Ask for help

8. Effectively end an unhealthy relationship (romantic or platonic in nature)

9. Beautifully wrap a gift

10. Say “no” gracefully

11. Whip up a great dinner with the five items in her fridge

12. Fix just about any household problem armed with nothing but a roll of duct tape (you've got this one, as evidenced in the photo above!)

Thanks Stacie!! I appreciate the birthday shout out. I'm pretty confident that I have completed this list before 30 and some items were even checked off this weekend--- not saying which ones though:)
