This fall, we’re making it extra special! With our fall bucket list, we’re creating an unforgettable season together. Let’s go!
October 1st has already passed, and the fall holidays are just around the corner – the perfect time to write down our fall bucket list. Since my oldest Mini’s very first school break, it has become a little tradition for us to create a bucket list for the holidays. Over time, this has turned into a seasonal bucket list. Of course, we manage to check off many of the items during the holidays – but not all of them.
Why a Fall Bucket List with Kids Is So Special
Our little tradition is simply a collection of activities we want to do together. Whether it’s taking a crisp fall walk or going on a family outing – the list can include anything we dream up! The Minis write down their ideas, and then we look at them together to see what we can actually experience. The goal is not (and can’t possibly be) to check off every single item on the fall bucket list. Some wishes and ideas can remain open – and that’s perfectly fine! You should explain this to your kids too, so that expectations stay realistic.
In summer, I shared our summer bucket list for an unforgettable season on the blog for the first time. Looking back, we managed to complete a lot of activities, but some were left open for the next summer – which is totally fine! A bucket list is such a wonderful way to collect all the activities you want to do together as a family, and to come back to them again and again. That way, you don’t forget them, and you create lasting memories. Even sitting down together and writing the list is a beautiful family moment. Have fun creating your own fall bucket list!
