Bucket List, Winter

Winter Bucket List

Believe it or not, Winter just started! Here in Colorado it can so often feel like Winter starts with the first snow in October but the calendar says December 21st – the shortest day of the year! So today, just says after Winter has started, I’m sharing my Winter Bucket List with you!! We’re also going to do a quick recap of my Autumn Bucket List! Spoiler alert, it didn’t go as planned but that’s okay!

Winter takes us into March so while a big one on my list this year is have a baby, I’ll have a nearly 3 month old when Spring comes! I like that I started to think in seasons with these bucket lists! It is fun to think ahead but not too far. You can make small and practical goals for each season. As a mama of babies, I think this is so important for me. It helps me see the fun and joy in the little things and also helps me prioritize the things I want to do each season!

BEST NEWS: I don’t just make these for myself, I make them to share with you FO’ FREE! You can download this PDF for free to make a bucket list of your own! CLICK HERE!

While I would have loved to do all the things (you know me!) I just couldn’t. We had some early snows here in Colorado that killed a lot of the leaves on the trees so we didn’t get to the mountains in time to see them this year. I also moved Thanksgiving week, so most of those Thanksgiving things didn’t happen! Haha! I did get to make my pies at my mama’s house before our Thanksgiving celebration which was so fun. Making those yearsbooks and doing a Reader Survey have moved to my Winter Bucket List – let’s ry to make that happen!!! lol.
