Autumn Bucket List

Tomorrow is the first official day of Autumn! I couldn't be more excited and ready for a change of seasons. Our temps here have been holding steady at hot but our mornings have been getting crisper and damper every day. We even had some much needed rain on Saturday night. This impending change has me excited for all the fall fun we will have in the next few months so I sat down on Sunday and worked on my bucket list. My daughter and I spent some time last week coming up with our list and I think we have a really good mix of activities to make the season fun.

I had planned on posting my full and completed list here for you to see today but I ended up using some of the October Studio Calico The Underground kit digital supplies for it. It's pretty much entirely digital and I adore how it came out. Here is a little sneak peek.

I have several fall ideas on my Fall Pinterest board including many examples of some other super cute Buckets Lists that I found so if you need some ideas before you see my full list, pop on over there.

I will be back on Wednesday with the rest of my Studio Calico The Underground kit sneaks so I'll see you then.

Summer Bucket List - the recap

So now that Labor Day has come and gone it was time to tally up the results and see how Simone did on her Summer Bucket List this year. She (we) did a really good job on this years list as you can see below.

There were a few major ones that didn't get checked off like Go to Disneyland but I knew when it went on here that it wasn't going to happen this summer. And sadly we didn't sing with the windows down, I guess it was just too darn hot for the windows to be down. We celebrated all the big National Days that we listed except poor Banana Split Day, I blame Daddy being out of town on that one because it completely slipped my mind.

I was thinking that it would be super fun to make a Fall Bucket List this year and a few of these unfinished items can move over to that list, especially the Disneyland one, yay!

I'll be back soon to share that list because I'm still brainstorming and pinning away some ideas for it.

I'm so excited for fall though and it can't come soon enough for me, if only the weather temps would cooperate.

Our Summer Bucket List

Last year one of the funnest things we did was come up with a Summer Bucket List and we did a pretty good job of completing lots of the items too. When the weather started warming up again I knew we needed to start thinking of Bucket List items for this year too. Even though my daughter is still in school we consider any days between June 1st and August 31st as Summer so we can maximize our days and have lots of time to cover lots of items.  This year I kept the same basic design as last year list but changed up the fonts and added some color.  My daughter liked having a way to mark off the items so this year I used little hearts that she could fill in instead of the squares to check off.  Here is this years list;

It doesn't look like I ever posted last years list here so here it is for reference.

If you've never made a bucket list I really suggest you do, it doesn't have to be as long or as involved and it really is for all ages. In fact I loved checking off the items just as much as my daughter did. It's also the perfect thing to have on hand for those 'I'm bored' moments which always seems to happen during the summer. 

Oh and if you are looking for a list of all of the National Holidays that I have on my list you can see the full list of all of them here.  It's written by month and there are a lot of good ones.
