Typically, Bucket lists have been associated with a person dying but this bucket list is about things that you want to do with your children before they are grown up and leave you. As my daughter's wedding approaches, I am definitely reflecting back on the things that we did with our children when they were young. I kind of like the idea of writing down a list, maybe even starting that list during your pregnancy. I think a list like this will help you outline what type of parent you want to be and hold you accountable about how you are fairing as a parent.
Jennifer Lawson "the Bloggess" has created a list that includes activities, visits and art projects. Her list seems to have attainable activities that you may want to include on your list. The responses to her post, however are quite different than hers. Many of the lists that others have posted include things like a safari that are out of reach for most of us. I encourage you to put a few things on the list that stretch you, but for the most part have items that are attainable for you. If your children are old enough, ask what they would like to have on the family's bucket list. By doing this, you may gain some insight into the life and thoughts of your child.
