We are about a week into October and our bucket list has not budged! It hit me the other day that making time to check off all the items has got to be intentional. We definitely haven’t been, so before the month gets away from us- let’s get to it! Here is our list if you’re in need of some inspiration to get started!
Some tips!
Make a list. Sit down as a family and ask everyone to contribute one or two things they’d like to do during that month/season.
Print out a calendar. I search free printable calendars on Pinterest and go with the prettiest one.
Fill it out! Start by filling in all of the things you MUST do that month and then make room to do all of the things you want to do. Consider the length of time each item will take. We put the bigger events that take place outside of the house on the weekends and then crafts/smaller things during the week!
Hang it up. Put the calendar where you will see it, add the activities to your phone calendar and share it with the family. Make them a priority.
Bonus points! Use the same calendar to meal plan! I put the event for that day at the top of each date box and dinner at the bottom.
Don’t over do it. Don’t set yourself up for failure by overbooking yourselves- the point isn’t to do ALL the things but to do the things you want to do and have fun doing them! Making memories and being present is always most important. <3 I hope you’ll share your must-do October activities, too!
