Check out this new community group My Bucket List started by one of the SavvySugar Community members. Reader shellbenno shares what's on her bucket list, which is to travel the world. Read on to hear what she has to say:

Well I will share with you, I have been married for 19 years and have three children. I have always said to my husband that if I have not traveled overseas by the time I was 40, that I will be. It was a goal I had visioned. That goal became true as I really believed in it. I have many more goals and things for my bucket list that I am ticking off. I have been to Vietnam and Singapore. It has truly changed my whole aspects of life. You need to follow your passion and not let anything get in the road of that. We only have one chance of living this life.

Long before Big Love and Sister Wives, Americans had a fascination with polygamy. In 1944, LIFE magazine sent photographer John Florea to Salt Lake City, UT to capture what life was like for polygamist men, the sister wives, and the many children they produced.

In the photo above, Rulon Clark Allred, a medical doctor, stands with his four wives, his mother, a few sisters-in-law, and many of his children. He would go on to have a total of seven wives (two of whom were identical twins) and 48 children. One of his daughters, Dorothy Allred Solomon, who was born after this photo was taken, tells LIFE how she got to spend time with her busy father:

He set my arm without any kind of anesthesia when I was in fifth grade. And it was really painful, and he was very brusque. I think I probably broke my arm so that I could see him. I know that sounds extreme, but that was one sure way we could see our dad. I didn't really purposely break it — but I was reckless that day, and I remember thinking, 'I'd sure love to see my dad.'

1. Forget the 'Bad Boys'

If you want to be open to finding the man of your future, you have to forget the boys of your past. If your girlfriend didn’t return your phone calls or routinely blew you off, you wouldn’t continue to be friends with her, so why do we make exceptions for guys? The reason they possess a certain sense of mystery is because they are unattainable. Despite that obvious fact, a significant amount of women still waste their time on these emotionally stunted man-children (they look like men, act like children). I speak from experience when I say they usually do not come around and even if said ‘bad boy’ did come to his senses, do you really want a guy who is going to need twelve chances to get it right? Your pet probably has more emotional maturity.

2. Be Open to Something New

As I’ve said in previous articles, we need to throw our checklists out the window! Truth be told, we probably don’t know what we truly want. Some women claim they want a financially successful husband, seems admirable and reasonable enough right? Except financial success comes with a price- he might be a workaholic or he might be unwilling to consider a family because of the hours his job demands. The bottom line is: we have to be flexible and willing to try something new. Our soulmate might not come in the package we expect but he doesn’t need to have a six pack to make you laugh or a six-figure salary to be a good father.
