    Spring bucket list printable

    Many years ago, I made a summer bucket list for like five years in a row, except I never ever called it a bucket list. But it was the same thing.

    I decided to make a bucket list for each season starting with winter in 2017. You can grab my winter bucket list for kids and families here. Now that spring is right around the corner, I am posting my spring bucket list.

    As a full-time working mom and a mom blogger, I have to be really intentional about spending time with my kids. If I'm not intentional, our days and weeks would slip by, and I wouldn't have spent any real time with them.

    I mean, we're in the same house, maybe even in the same room, but I'm writing on my blog or talking to their dad or working at my job, and they're watching tv or playing Legos or Barbies or something else. On their own.

    If I'm not careful, my kids and I can lead these parallel lives, and I don't take the opportunity to pour into them at all. Like I said, I have to be intentional about it.

    Hence the need for a bucket list for every season of the year. We can choose from the items on the list when we have little pockets of time or as opportunities come up. It will give us a base, a starting point from which to make our time together fun and rewarding.

    As an aside, I am super intentional about scheduling fun. I make sure we do something fun together, all four of us, every single week, no matter what. (Well, unless they go on a weekend trip. Then I plan something fun for just me and Joe.) I have it written into my planner, I save money for it out of every paycheck, and I almost always make it happen.

    I have read studies that say children make incredible memories on vacation. We do take vacations, usually one big one per year with a couple of weekends away.

    But what if we can build those incredible memories in little bites sprinkled all throughout the year? Would that not add up in their little memory banks to a childhood well spent? I sure hope so.

    If you're looking for a way to get your kids to take charge of their own entertainment, click over to this post where I have created a unique, card-based list of 150 of the best screen-free activities for elementary kids up through teens.
