Fall Bucket List, and a printable-because I love you.

Yesterday I told you about our Fall bucket list idea, and today I'm gonna share it with you because I can, and I'm feeling generous. Oh, and I kind of like you. In a girl crush kind of way.

Anyway, we've just been talking lately, wanting to enjoy this Fall with Emeline and our little family. We wanted to approach this season with more intentionality. Memory making. Being better about using our time, and figuring out ways to do our best to make the most of it. So we comprised a list of things we're hoping to do in the next few months...probably by Thanksgiving time. After that, we'll work on a holiday's/winter list. Who knows, maybe we'll make it our thing.

Sometimes, seeing fun ideas written out help to hold you accountable. You know?

So I decided to make it cute, and fun. So this is our list (and it may just work for you, too!):

Note: THIS image is not the printable! I would totally not give you a printable with a watermark :)

So the idea is to put it in a frame, behind glass, so you can use a dry-erase marker to check-off your activities as you do them. Fun, huh?

This is mine:


Pretty fun, eh?

Obviously nothing is checked off yet, but soon we will be a checkin' things off. And? If this list doesn't work for you, make your own, or something :) ha. No, really. Or just write extra's in the blank spaces.

We have some of the few obvious things....you know, apple picking, pumpkin decorating, corn mazes....but then we threw in a few extras. We put "Go on 2 dates" because this is an absolute necessity to our marriage. We need the alone time, and we need to make that time together a priority. However, if you're an unmarried/not-dating person, dates with friends to meet for coffee, or other fun things could totally work, too. We all need some good girl time. Oh, and we're totally having a Fall Picnic. In hoodies. Because, why not?

***

So here's a link to the printable for you. When it comes up, just click on it to magnify. It'll print in an 8x10 and will need a little trimming but should fit in a frame nicely for you.

If you want the image in a 5x7, you can resize in any other photo program you'd like.

You better bet your bums that I'll be documenting our way through whatever we get through on this list (which is hopefully most of it), and maybe you will consider doing that same? I'd love to see how a Fall Bucket List works out for you.

And here's to hoping we make lots of fun memories.

***

Happy Tuesday!

Oh, and you're welcome :)

Aww! This is such a cute idea.

I miss being able to execute cute ideas. Lately it's all laundry and cleaning and sleeping upon occasion. But I love this idea.

We have a couple things we always do in fall with our kiddos, and its part of what makes the season so awesome for me.

{annie} said...

FABULOUS! As always! can't wait to check some of these off as well as make some of our own this fall. Fall is SO my favorite season!

Love this. I have many of the same tings on my wish list to do.

Angela said...

I love your printable! Thank you! I always start the fall season with high hopes and by winter we haven't done half of what I had hoped for. I love the way you stated it, "approach this season with more intentionality".

Lindsey said...

Maybe now I will learn how to make pies like my mom. Homemade crust and all. Even though I hate pie! Unless it is ice cream pie, of course.

I love this idea! Thanks for posting!

alita jewel said...

Oh, I do love yours. Thank you for being so very inspiring. When I made mine out I didn't make it available for print, it was more of a personal thing for my little family. I have it hanging in my 4 year olds magnetic chalkboard.

Bucket lists are so much fun I did one that was similar for the summer, too. :)
