This summer wasn’t an easy one for us. It saw us go from a family of three to just Amy and myself and although Ben and I are trying everything to remain friends for Amy’s sake, it’s been a hard and emotionally draining time for all of us. I won’t go into any details or the reasoning behind our separation, but I know that it is for the better and to ensure that Amy has a happy and safe childhood and that will always be my priority, the most important thing in my life.
Autumn will be a new beginning for us as a duo, the time where we start enjoying life again and have fun and for that exact reason, I thought it would be a good idea to come up with our very own autumn bucket list – a list to remind us of the fun things that we want to do, to encourage and motivate us to move forward when we are having a bad day.
Our autumn bucket list is not stuffed full of activities and outings. We want it to remain a fun project, an inspiration with projects and days out that will be enjoyable and should we not manage to tick off every single activity then so be it. Life’s too short, the last couple of weeks and months have made me realise that.
What have you planned for autumn? Have you maybe written your own autumn bucket list? Let me know in the comments below. I’d love hear about your plans and ideas!
Some lovely simple ideas to enjoy with your daughter. Here’s hoping things become easier for you all. Look after yourself x
Sorry to hear you’ve had a tough few months, but lovely to read that you’re feeling positive and inspired. Those all look like proper autumn activities – and achievable ones too! My bucket list goes something like – son passes grammar school entrance exam, apply for secondary schools, daughter passes ballet and tap exams, boys play rugby and football every weekend… It’s not a bucket list at all! Enjoy your free time while you still have it.
I did mine the other day but it’s not nearly as fun as yours. I’m trying to use the next few months to get the house sorted as there’s so many jobs we’ve just been putting off for so long!
Oh this is our fun list, you don’t want to see the boring one 😀
Having been there on the relationship breakdown front I know all too well how it feels, and writing a list of fun things is a great way to shake off the sadness. A fab list too – have pinned it for future reference!
I am completely full of admiration for you and what a great list. I would LOVE to join in ticking off one with Will and Em before we move if you were free? Stay strong lovely lady, you are awesome x
So sorry to hear its been tough… Lovely idea to look forward and what better way than a bucket list! I, already planning mine for next week! Thanks for linking up with #SavouringtheSeason
baking apples is definitely on my list for this month, I love them!
Sorry to hear you’ve had such a tough time. I love your bucket list, there’s some lovely ideas there and sounds like you will have lots of fun together! Xx #savouringtheseason
I would love to experience autumn! Just feel it. Been here in the UK for four years but I erally havent enjoy the seasons since this year. This is the first time that I am paying attention to autumn and I am excited =) #SavouringTheSeason
Oh so many gorgeous things planned-love collecting conkers with the kids and will be a first for Alexander. We made some fab twig and leaf pictures last year after a long walk and we enjoyed making tissue paper blossom trees too! Homemade hot choc sounds good! Lovely post! Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts x
