After multiple weeks of me lamenting about the weather, I think I can finally say that “Spring has Sprung”.
We spent the weekend meandering through tulips, daffodils and flowering trees. It smelled heavenly.
Spending all of this glorious time outdoors made me start brainstorming all of the ways to celebrate spring this year. This winter was rough. And after being cooped up inside so long, it’s delightful to have weather that doesn’t make my teeth chatter.
But what if you (and I) had a list of easy, fun things to do this spring? Without having to brainstorm them on the spot?
So, this past weekend’s project… creating a Spring Bucket List.
Why a Bucket List?
If you’ve been reading for a while, you know that I love bucket lists. It’s my way of avoiding over planning or feeling like we have to do everything. My favorite one is this Summer Bucket List. It helps me keep track of everything that our family wants to do together. And make sure that it all gets done.
I also created this fall bucket list last season. It really helped us organize all of the fall fun that we wanted to do.
For this spring bucket list design, I brainstormed over 40 of my favorite ways to celebrate spring. Then, I transformed them into a fun checklist design.
The best part? You can grab your Free Printable Spring Bucket List here. Simply download, print and use. No prep. Now you’re ready for some memory making fun.
