Fall 2016 Bucket List

So, I really enjoyed having a “bucket list” for summer. It really helped me stay on track with a few things & be accountable for a few others (I probably never would have actually pulled the plug & gotten 1200+ images printed if I hadn’t said I was going to!) It was really nice to put some ideas & goals out there & be able to check them off as I accomplished them! What’s the psychological thing about writing things down and crossing them off – how it fuels productivity & a sense of happiness? It’s totally true! If you’re curious how many of my 20 items I accomplished this summer, I revisited the list here – go check it out!

With that in mind, I decided to continue on & write out a fall “bucket list”! So, in absolutely no particular order, here are the top 20 things I would like to accomplish this fall!

1. Go somewhere to rake leaves so Braelynn can jump in the pile
2. Have our tree cut down
3. Read 5 new books
4. Finish scrapbooking Braelynn’s 1st year photos
5. Have the best 27th birthday ever
6. Take Braelynn to the Children’s Museum (to see the Daniel Tiger exhibit)
7. Write Derrick & I’s love story
8. Attend & photograph Irwin’s Light Up Night
9. Submit fall photos to 50th Annual Autumn Glory Festival Contest
10. Finish decorating the upstairs (hanging mirrors & pictures in the bedrooms)
11. Kick off off-season with a week OFF
12. Learn to make & practice baking macaroons (for Ellen’s bridal shower)
13. Bake an apple pie
14. Trim the bushes in the front of the house
15. Attend a wedding as a guest (Derrick’s friend Jake is getting married next month!)
16. Have Ellen take our annual family photos
17. Take evening walks with Derrick & Braelynn
18. Get all my Christmas shopping done before December 1
19. Plan Ellen’s bridal shower (December 4th)
20. Learn to play Daniel Tiger’s theme music on piano
