Our Fall 2023 Bucket List

Posted on by Lauren Lane

If you missed my posts last week, yesterday was my big “back to work” day. And in the scope of things, I’m feeling pretty good. Focusing instead on all of the fun things we want to do coming up, and how lucky we are that Aidan’s grandparents are helping to take care of him for a few weeks here while we wait for a spot to open up at our daycare.

I sat down with Harrison on Friday while he was out of school, and we made and decorated our Fall Bucket List for this year. And Jonathan later approved it. 🙂

Our Summer & Fall Bucket Lists 2022

Posted on by Lauren Lane

This summer on an afternoon that we didn’t have much planned, and Jonathan still snoozing for his naptime, I decided that Harrison and I should come up with a summer bucket list. All sorts of things that we wanted to do that summer to make it the best and most memorable one yet! He gave me ideas, and I wrote them down. I hung it up on our door to the garage as a reminder of things we could do on a spare weekend, and we were lucky enough to check each and every item off of our summer list!

I thought it would be fun to share some pictures from checking off those items…

Fall Bucket List 2021

Posted on by Lauren Lane

It’s fall bucket list day! I love dreaming about what little (and big!) things I’m looking forward to each season. These bucket lists gives me ideas of things to do on the weekends, if we happen to have a free weekend and nothing planned. I pick something from our list to check off for the season.

  • Go patchin’ (that is pumpkin patchin’). Aside from the blistering cold weather on our patch day last year, this is one of my very favorite things to do with the kids in the fall!
  • Have a fall backyard bbq
  • Host our second annual Halloween carnival! With COVID last year, we opted to have the cousins come over for a Halloween carnival a la elementary school style bash. (Were we the only ones who had Halloween carnivals at school?? My sister and I have fond memories of this in our younger years.) With a cake walk (minus the cake), fishing for treats, Halloween egg hunting (because Easter shouldn’t be the only holiday with a fun egg hunt, right?)
  • Carve pumpkins
  • Trick-or-treating with the boys
  • Lots of fall walks with Sawyer
  • Hot chocolate and spooky movie night
  • Watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade and make our traditional biscuits and gravy
  • Watch a lot of CHIEFS games!
  • Make pumpkin spice donuts
  • Read at least one seasonal book
  • Lots and lots and lots of fall candles

So now I need to know, do you have any good fall seasonal books for me to read???

What are you looking forward to this season?

We are headed to the airport in the morning for a long awaited family vacation, so I’ll be gone from this little space of the internet this next week spending time focusing on my family and relaxing.

Our Fall Bucket List

Posted on by Lauren Lane

Pumpkins, chili on the stove simmering all day. Cozy sweaters and warm blankets. The constant drone of football on the TV, and the scent of vanilla and cinnamon in the air. Oh fall, you can be such a wonderful and magical time of year to cozy up and enjoy family.

I truly love fall. A lot of wonderful things have happened in our lives during the fall – Nathan and I get engaged in the fall, and married in the fall. I have wonderful memories of when Nathan and I first started dating doing fall time activities, and I love the coziness of autumn.
